Civic group flays hand over of “pooled land” to retired babus
- | Monday | 18th February, 2019
Visakhapatnam: The Forum for Better Visakha (FBV), a civic group in the city, denounced on Sunday the Andhra Pradesh government’s alleged decision to hand over land “pooled” from farmers in the Amaravati capital city area to retired civil servants.“I refer to GOM No. The state’s civil servants are well aware of this. Along with their applications, their affidavits should be placed in the public domain and disclose the details of their properties outside AP,” it said. The whole process of this exercise has become a means to benefit real estate business at the cost of agriculture and marginal farmers. In the process, not only the farming community but also a large number of landless tenants and agricultural workers have lost their livelihoods.
