Gudatipally oustees to allow work on Gouravelli only after due compensation

MLA says the government has decided to complete the project come what may

Day by day, the oustees of Gudatipally village — submerging under Gouravelli project — in Akkannapet mandal of Siddipet district have been intensifying their agitation, with support pouring in from various quarters.

Husnabad MLA V. Satish Kumar, who visited the site of the ongoing agitation at Gudatipally on Tuesday, had a bitter experience with oustees raising slogans against him. They demanded that the government keep its promises and said they are ready to vacate the village once all payments are cleared. They alleged that while some names were published in the draft, they went missing in the final list of beneficiaries. A large number of oustees poured out their problems before the MLA.

However, soon after coming from the oustees’ protest camp, Mr. Satish Kumar announced that the works of Gouravelli will progress come what may and the government has decided to complete the project. “Some people are trying to stop the works. This is not acceptable and we will not tolerate it ,” said Mr. Satish Kumar while addressing a press conference on Tuesday.
