Woman oustee of Gouravelli reservoir found dead

She was unable to get compensation; children become orphans

In a shocking incident, a woman farmer committed suicide by hanging. The incident took place at Somajitanda, a hamlet of Gudatipally village in Akkannapet mandal of Siddipet district on Saturday evening. This has resulted in three children aged 15, 13 and nine years becoming orphans.

One Bhukya Lakshmi, a resident of Somajitanda was married to Kanuku. They were having two acres of land. Few years ago, they gave their consent to sell their land to the government for the construction of Gouravelli reservoir.

For the one acre land, they received the amount but for the remaining 35 guntas of land, the amount was not paid. Meanwhile, Kanuku was having health problems. Worried over not getting the amount, he committed suicide three years ago. Since then Lakshmi has been moving around offices to get compensation. Though officials were saying that she would get the amount, she was yet to get it.
