Farmers allege raw deal from Hud
Farmers of Uppal Bagat and Ramanthapur Bagat are up in arms against the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) for acquiring their land for building townships.
Why should a government agency become a real estate agent and deprive us of our valuable land, the farmers question in unison.
With the Dec. 24 deadline set by Huda to receive objections for acquiring the land over, 250 farmers of the area are questioning the land acquisition.
They have alleged that they are being cheated by Huda. Though their land is being valued at Rs 20 to Rs 30 lakh per acre in the open market, Huda maintains that it can pay only Rs 2 to Rs 3 lakh per acre as compensation.
We want that either the government should take our land to the extent required for cleaning and beautifying the Musi river bed or the Green City project should be revived, D Narasimha Reddy, president of Uppal Bhu Parirakshana Rythu Sangham told The Times of India.
