Jagtial people, farmers protest against state over master plan, recreation zone
Deccan ChronicleWarangal: The people of several colonies, along with the farmers of various villages, expressed their protest against the government by drawing rangolis in front of their houses demanding the state government to stop the master plan and recreation zone on the occasion of Bhogi here in Jagtial district on Saturday. Farmers in Jagtial mandal’s Narsingapur, Thimmapur, Tippannapet, Mothe, Hasnabad, and Lingampet villages drew rangolis in front of their houses, demanding that the MLA halt the master plan and recreation zone and that the state government exclude their villages from the master plan. People questioned why the government wanted to establish an industrial zone in the middle of the houses by grabbing farmers’ lands when there was government land of 220.4 acres in Narsingapur and survey number 363 in Thimmapur. They demanded that Dr S. Sanjay Kumar, MLA, take the initiative and either exclude the villages or establish recreation and industrial zones on government land without encroaching on farmers’ lands.
