Local Mandal Revenue Officer had informed Lakshmaiah that his land would be taken over for Regional Ring Road project. This caused severe mental anguish to him

Bhongir: In a tragic incident, a farmer named Nagavelli Chinna Lakshmaiah from Varkatpally village in Yadadri Bhongir district died of a heart attack on Saturday morning, allegedly due to mental distress over fears of losing his land to the RRR (Regional Ring Road) project.

The farmer owned four acres of land in survey numbers 201 and 202.

The local Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) visited Varkatpally with his staff for a survey on January 10 and as part of the exercise, he informed Lakshmaiah that his land would be taken over for the RRR project.

This news reportedly caused severe mental anguish to Lakshmaiah, leading to his untimely death. He suffered a massive stroke at 5:30 AM.

This is not the first tragedy to strike this family due to the RRR survey. Previously, Nagavelli Pedda Lakshmaiah and Nagavelli Lakshmamma, both from the same family, also passed away after being informed that their land would be acquired for the project.

Many other farmers in the region are reportedly experiencing similar mental distress, fearing the loss of their lands. The affected families have repeatedly appealed to the local MLA, RDO, MRO, and the District Collector for justice and support but their pleas have been ignored.
