CUDDAPAH: Functionaries of the CPI(M) launched a land struggle movement by hoisting party flags in five acres of land allotted to Shriram Chitfund at Balajinagar here on Tuesday. The party district Secretary, B. Narayana, who spearheaded the protest, demanded that the district administration cancel the land allotted by the former Collector to the private firm and its distribution to the landless poor by July 20. He warned that partymen would ensure allotment of vacant Government lands to the poor to meet their housing needs. Party activists came in a rally from the Government ITI to Balajinagar earlier.
Land encroachment
Government lands should be given to landless poor, but not to business houses, Mr. Narayana asserted. Nearly 500 acres of Government lands were encroached upon by influential persons, but officials were indifferent to evict them, he alleged. The demand would be put forth before the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, on July 19. The town secretary, K. Anjaneyulu, accused the Congress Government of fulfilling needs of the richer sections at the cost of the poor.
Ryots vent ire
Congress and TDP leaders led a farmers' protest by locking up the Kalasapadu MRO's office and staging a dharna before it demanding payment of crop insurance for the cotton crop lost in kharif season last year. Cotton crop yield fell badly due to pest menace in nearly 2,000 hectares and farmers remained indebted to banks and private moneylenders, the Kalsapadu sarpanch, B. Ramasubba Reddy, said. Neither the Government not crop insurance firms came to farmers' rescue, he said.
