No eligible family for PDF benefits

Officials notify 272 acres of Gouravelly

The farmers who are going to lose about 272 acres in Gudatipally village in Akkannapet mandal in the district are not going to get any benefits under Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) package. That all of them were not eligible for the package as they were already extended these benefits under the same project in the past was the reasoning being given by the officials. This acquisition is in addition to the about 2,000 acres already acquired by the authorities. “This family is not becoming Project Displaced Family (PDF) due to the present additional acquisition and this family has already availed R&R package as PDF in the same project in their earlier acquisition for their houses and lands,” was what was mentioned by officials in the report on socio-economic survey conducted by the authorities regarding the oustees of Gudatipally pertaining to 272 acres. This was not limited to a few but all those 58 farmers. The details of survey report dated August 26 were made public on Friday and exhibited at the panchayat office at Gudatipally.
