Withdraw proposed industrial zone, Revanth to CM

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: A day after a 38-year-old farmer in Kamareddy district's Adloor Yellareddy died by suicide fearing that his agricultural land would be taken away for the proposed industrial zone, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy demanded that the government rescind the move immediately and compensate the family's kin with Rs. In an open letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Revanth blamed the Telangana government for the farmer's suicide, accusing the Chief Minister of causing them distress due to the proposed industrial zone, which was leading to such suicides. "While the farmers are distressed and worried that their lands will be taken over by the government for the proposed industrial zone, the CM seems to be mum on the issue without offering a word of assurance to the farmers. The TPCC chief questioned why the opinions of all stakeholders were not taken into account when proposing to build an industrial zone in Adloor Yellareddy village in Kamareddy, and also accused that KCR's silence only reflected the government's attitude toward the farming community.
