The Andhra Pradesh government has allocated 90 acres of land in the N.T.R. district to rehabilitate non-tribal families displaced by the Polavaram irrigation project. The site will feature new infrastructure and amenities for the relocated residents.
Why it matters
Large-scale infrastructure projects often involve complex resettlement challenges, making the management of displaced populations a critical governance issue.
The State government has decided to build Resettlement and Rehabilitation colonies on the 90 acres of land in the N.T.R. district for the non-tribal families who were displaced by the Polavaram irrigation project in V.R. Puram mandal in Polavaram district.
Polavaram Irrigation Project Administrator V. Abhishek stated in a release that the land in Rollupadu and Penukolanu has been finalised for the rehabilitation of the non-tribals being displaced from the V.R. Puram mandal. “The 90 acres of land has access to safe drinking water and a better transport network. Resettlement and Rehabilitation colonies will be built with all necessary infrastructure and amenities,” said Mr. Abhishek.
