Operation Land Grab begins in Andhra Pradesh

The picture on your left shows a piece of agricultural land in Rambilli Mandal in Vishakapatnam which has been acquired for a multi-product SEZ by the corrupt state government of Andhra Pradesh on behalf of SRF Limited the promoter of SEZ. The SEZ is 1040 hectares in size.



This piece of fertile land is in Ravivaripodu village of Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. Farmers want to know how they have been getting good yield for years if the farmland was 'dry' ?

The State government has manipulated land records and has marked fertile agricultural lands as dry and arid lands unfit for agriculture so that they can grab it at throw away price. [Via MM]
