Telangana: Elderly woman in Bhatti’s constituency seeks justice or permission to die
The 85-year-old woman, Kanakapudi Karunamma of Dendukuru village owned a piece of land at the village, which was allegedly encroached by some individuals
Khammam: An elderly woman in Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka’s constituency in Madhira sought revenue officials to either return her encroached land or give her permission to die.
It was said that the 85-year-old woman, Kanakapudi Karunamma of Dendukuru village in Madhira mandal owned a piece of land at the village. Her land was allegedly encroached by some individuals and she approached the local tahsildar’s office several times in the past seeking to free her land from the encroachment and return it to her, but in vain.
Vexed at the revenue officials’ alleged negligence in protecting her land, the woman staged a protest in front of Madhira tahsildar’s office on Thursday. She alleged that some local Congress leaders were protecting those who encroached her land. The local CPI (M) leaders extended support to her and demanded the tahsildar to do justice to the woman.
The tahsildar, Rallabandi Rambabu told the leaders not to create any commotion over the land issue. A couple of days ago, notices were issued to those who occupied the land and they were given time to submit documents, if they have any, by Saturday.
After verifying the land documents whoever was eligible would be given that land, the tahsildar said.
