Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Rythu Coolie Sangham have demanded the Centre and the State governments provide the Relief and Rehabilitation (R&R) package to all the Polavaram Project-Displaced Families (PDF) immediately.
Speaking at the valedictory programme of the three-day State conference of the Sangham here on Monday, June 17, its state president, Simhadri Jhansi, said that thousands of families lost their livelihoods due to the Polavaram project, and many tribals have turned into labourers.
The consecutive governments have forced the people in the affected habitations to vacate, and there were no facilities in the newly constructed R&R colonies,” Ms. Jhansi alleged.
