Mamnoor Airport Tensions: Farmers Protest Land Loss

Tension Near Mamnoor Airport Over Land Acquisition

The announcement of Mamnoor Airport in Warangal district was initially celebrated, with political leaders competing to take credit. However, farmers whose lands are being taken for the project have started protesting, demanding fair compensation.

The new airport will cover the main road connecting Nakkalapalli, Gunturpalli, and Nekkonda via Gavicharla Cross Road, which has raised concerns among farmers. They argue that they are losing more than they are gaining from the project. After repeatedly bringing up their issues with officials and receiving no proper response, they staged a protest. As a result, a heavy police force was deployed, and the land acquisition survey was temporarily halted.

Parakala MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy has urged the farmers to cooperate, assuring them of fair compensation. He held a meeting with affected farmers from Gadepally and Gunturpalli, stating that while compensation will be provided, the airport construction will not stop.

Meanwhile, the state government is pushing to complete the land acquisition quickly so that work on the airport can begin. Ruling party leaders are now trying to negotiate with the farmers to resolve the issue.

Some key expectations for the Budget 2024-25 include tax relief and incentives for the pharmaceutical sector to boost innovation and competitiveness, as well as increased allocations for healthcare and rural development programs. The government is also likely to focus on measures to make India a global manufacturing hub and a “pharmacy of the world”.

With the BJP-led NDA government returning to power, the upcoming budget will be the first major policy announcement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term. Finance Minister Sitharaman will be tasked with striking a balance between fiscal prudence and supporting economic growth in the face of global headwinds

Siddipet: Inspiration for the Telangana Model of Development

Siddipet: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) has said that Siddipet, the constituency he represents, is the inspiration for the Telangana model of development.

Speaking at a public meeting in Siddipet on Tuesday, KCR said that the Telangana model of development is based on the principle of inclusive growth, with a focus on providing basic necessities such as water, electricity, and irrigation to all sections of society.

He said that the Siddipet drinking water scheme, which he initiated as Siddipet MLA, inspired the state government’s flagship Mission Bhagiratha programme. He also recalled the challenges he faced in digging borewells for farmers in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, which inspired him to initiate the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme.

KCR also said that the Dalit Bandhu programme, which provides financial assistance of Rs.10 lakh to each Dalit family, was inspired by an incident in Siddipet where he helped a Dalit woman purchase a bicycle for her son-in-law.

KCR said that he is proud to represent Siddipet and that he will continue to work for the development of the constituency and the state of Telangana.
