The CPI(M) district committee has opposed the hurried convening of a public hearing for the acquisition of land for the Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC), at Krishnapalem of Rambilli mandal in the district on Thursday.
In a letter to the District Collector on Thursday, CPI(M) district committee secretary K. Lokanadham noted that thousands of acres of land was already being acquired in the district for the PCPIR project. Justice was not done to the displaced persons, whose lands were acquired for the pharma industries and the SEZ in the past. The local people, who were not even given contract jobs in these industries, were living in misery, Mr. Lokanadham said.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
