Amaravati: farmers refuse to give up land in two villages

Live Mint  

Hyderabad: On 12 January, farmers began gathering at noon at Penumaka village, about 12km from Vijayawada, in Andhra Pradesh. While over 33,000 of the roughly 36,000 acres of farmland required for Amaravati have been acquired by the AP government through its land-pooling scheme, Penumaka and nearby Undavalli are the only two villages out of 29 where farmers are unwilling to give up their lands, forcing the government to take the legal route by invoking the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The two villages account for most of the remaining land that has to be acquired by the AP Capital Region Development Authority, the body overseeing the building of Amaravati, said a CRDA official, who requested not to be identified. Like Sambi and Shiva Reddy, a 32-year-old land-owning farmer from Undavalli village Dattu Balaji Reddy, has no need for the CRDA’s offer of 1,000 sq. He claimed that farmers had approached the high court last year after the state government failed to conduct the environmental assessment impact and follow other stipulations of the LARR 2013 Act.
