Polavaram-displaced from 30 villages to be shown proposed rehabilitation areas in West Godavari, ASR districts
Chintoor Integrated Tribal Development Agency Project Officer Apoorva Bharat on Saturday claimed that the Polavaram project-displaced from 30 villages would be shown the proposed land for their rehabilitation colonies in West Godavari district and Rampachodavaram Revenue Division in Alluri Sitarama Raju district.
Earlier this month, the ITDA authorities have completed Gram Sabhas in 30 villages to be rehabilitated from the Chintoor agency in Alluri Sitarama Raju district for the Polavaram irrigation project.
In an official release, Mr. Bharat said, 'The displaced families belonging to tribes and non-tribes will be rehabilitated in separate locations. In Tadvai location in West Godavari district, nearly 300 acres of land is available for the rehabilitation colonies to be built for the displaced families belonging to non-tribes'.
The proposed rehabilitation plan for the displaced tribals from Chintoor agency will be to Buttayagudem and Jeelugumilli in West Godavari district. They will also be rehabilitated to the Rampachodavaram revenue division.
The ITDA project officer also said that the selection of rehabilitation colony site would be finalised once the displaced families give their consent for the proposed areas.
