Doubts linger in the minds of Mallannasagar oustees about compensation
Almost all villages, except three, under Mallannasagar reservoir are getting vacated. The path is being cleared for the biggest reservoir with 50 tmcft under Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS). There are eight villages — Erravalli and Singaram in Kondapaka mandal, Etigaddakishtapur, Vemulaghat, Pallepahad, Rampur and Lakshmapur in Toguta mandal — that will be submerged under Mallannasagar. All these villages, at the initial stage, passed unanimous resolutions not to vacate till all payments of compensation were cleared. Despite all these resolutions, one after another village was getting vacated. Even oustees of Pallepahad refused to vacate the village a few days ago. Some families, even after allotment of houses at Mutrajpally Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) colony, kept some belongings at new houses and came back stating that they would not leave the village till all pending payments were cleared. About 75 families remained in the village till Friday. They also vacated the village after officials arranged transport vehicles.
