Separate department sought to deal with displaced families
CPM state secretary P Madhu demanded that the government set up a separate department to deal with the relief and rehabilitation of the displaced families who lost their homes and properties due to construction of various government projects particularly the irrigation projects in the state.
Vijayawada: CPM state secretary P Madhu demanded that the government set up a separate department to deal with the relief and rehabilitation of the displaced families who lost their homes and properties due to construction of various government projects particularly the irrigation projects in the state.
A meeting was organised at the Makineni Basavapurnaiah Vignana Kendram (MBVK) Bhavan by the Displaced People’s Association on Tuesday to discuss the problems being faced by the oustees who were forcibly removed from their homes. Speaking on the occasion, CPM state secretary P Madhu alleged that the government was suppressing the voices of the displaced families who are asking for justice.
He said there is no specific mechanism or department to resolve the problems of the oustees of various irrigation projects like Totapalli, Polavaram and Vamsadhara. He demanded that the government should start the project works after resolving the problems of displaced families and pay adequate compensation.
He demanded that the government enhance the housing package to Rs.5 lakh and RR package should be applied to the married women also. He regretted that displaced families of Polavaram, Pulichintala, Vamsadhara and other projects in the state are eagerly waiting for justice.
Displaced People’s Association president Midiyam Babu Rao alleged the government is forcibly evicting thousands of families across the state without paying compensation or showing alternative houses and livelihood. He demanded that the government construct houses under the R and R package and allot sufficient alternative land to those who lost their land.
He said the migrated families had been facing many hardships due to lack of basic amenities at many places in the state. State CPI leader Jalli Wilson alleged that the TDP government is forcibly taking 15 lakh acres land from the people on the pretext of constructing the projects and blamed the government that it is not paying proper compensation for it. The meeting passed resolutions in this regard.
