# Anakapalli district sets Thadi village rehabilitation in motion 2026-08-09T01:44:11+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Anakapalli district administration has initiated steps to rehabilitate residents of Thadi village, who have endured pollution from pharmaceutical units in the Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City for years. A meeting on Thursday (August 6, 2026) led by District Collector Vijaya Krishnan and MLA Panchakarla Ramesh Babu discussed relocating families under the Rehabilitation and Resettlement programme to Pedda Mushidivada village. Officials identified 56 acres of government land for a new colony with basic amenities. The Parawada Tahsildar must submit a layout within seven days. Thadi village has faced air and water pollution from nearby pharma units, pushing many families to move out. Some residents who cannot afford rent or are attached to their ancestral homes remain. The administration will verify eligible beneficiaries from the 2016 list of Project Displaced Families to ensure systematic rehabilitation. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Anakapalli, JNPC, pharma units, pollution, rehabilitation, Thadi village Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/anakapalli-district-sets-thadi-village-rehabilitation-in-motion/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
