Additionally, Reddy said that the farmers can resume cultivation in their lands and receive Rythu Bandhu as they would soon get Pattadhar Passbooks. Narsapur MLA C Mandan Reddy and others were present.

Recently, after a detailed land survey, the Survey and Revenue Department in Medak district had found that Jamuna Hatcheries encroached upon 70.33 acres of assigned/ceiling lands belonging to farmers of the two villages. Several farmers from the two villages had staged a protest, demanding that the State government hand over their land. They had also raised the issue with Narsapur MLA C Madan Reddy on Friday.
