RDO attends Grama Sabha held at Gudatipally
The villagers of Gudatipally village in Akkannapet mandal have urged the officials to provide complete details of the proposed increase in the extent of Gouravelli Reservoir and address the problems of the villagers. Grama Sabha for acquiring 272 acres from farmers for the construction of Gouravelli Reservoir was held at the village on Friday, which was attended by Husnabad Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) Jayachandra Reddy, who explained the details of the project. The village will be submerged in the reservoir. “We are the residents of Gudatipally village. Gouravelli Reservoir was initially proposed with 1.4 tmcft but the capacity was increased without any rationale. Land acquisition can not be taken up without proper detailed project report (DPR) and if it has already been prepared, please provide copies of it. Administrative sanction for Gouravelli Reservoir was accorded in 2007. Forest permission were taken in 2003, followed by permissions from Tribal Welfare department in 2004 and planning board permissions in 2005. According to the original plan only 1814.33 acres was required for the proposed project. No permissions have been accorded so far for the increased capacity, hence acquiring land for the revised project will not stand good before the court of law,” said the oustees in the memorandum submitted to the RDO in the Grama Sabha.More Related News
