The Vikarabad district administration distributed house site pattas to eligible farmers from Lagacherla, Hakimpet and Polepally villages in Telangana’s Kodangal. Their lands were acquired for an industrial corridor project of the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation. The event was held at Basi Reddy Function Hall on Wednesday, August 5.
District Collector Deepak Tiwari handed over the pattas. A draw of lots allotted sites to 432 people, while 121 beneficiaries received plots through direct allotment. The administration said rehabilitation and resettlement would accompany industrial development and acknowledged the farmers’ cooperation. The report gives no details about compensation, site quality or additional support.
The allotment is a reported step towards resettling families affected by land acquisition. However, official assurances alone do not establish whether the sites have suitable housing, basic services or lasting livelihood support. Claims that industrial growth will automatically benefit affected farmers would be premature without more evidence. Public details on compensation and implementation would help beneficiaries assess the programme fairly.
