According to him, the government is expected to purchase about 1,400 acres of land in villages such as Ganguvada, Rampuram, Lakshmipuram, Metturu, Thaturu, Vankaluru, Anakapalle and Barrivanpeta. The tax authorities completed a digital survey in the identified villages.

He claimed that despite the many petitions of locals, Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu still couldn’t hear the dissatisfaction of land acquisitions.

“As a result of land acquisitions, many people will be permanently displaced, and cashews, mango and coconut woods will be affected in the Udhanam area,” he said.

Meanwhile, officials said land acquisitions can only be carried out with the people’s prior consent. They said that compensation will also be in accordance with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013.
