An all-party forum in Nandyal has organized a 'Maha Satyagraha' protest for July 25 to oppose the allotment of public market yard land for a political party office. The group also demands the relocation of the temporary Collectorate from the Regional Agricultural Research Station campus.
Why it matters
The protest highlights tensions between local land use for political infrastructure versus public agricultural research and market facilities.
An all-party forum in Nandyal has announced a ‘Maha Satyagraha’ on July 25 to protest the alleged allotment of public land in Nunepalle Market Yard for a political party office and to seek protection of the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS).
The decision was taken at a preparatory meeting chaired by All-Party Joint Action Forum convener Eruva Ramachandra Reddy. The forum alleged that while the government cited a lack of alternative land to relocate the temporary Collectorate from the RARS campus, it allotted nearly two acres of market yard land on a 33-year lease at a nominal rent for a party office.
The forum also expressed concern over the future of the 120-year-old RARS, alleging that continued use of its campus as the temporary Collectorate was weakening agricultural research.
