    Parties demand withdrawal of true up charge

    Rajamahendravaram (East Godavari district): Leaders of all parties demanded that the government remove the burden of adjustment and true-up charges of electricity bills and stop installation of prepaid smart meters. A roundtable was held at Anam Rotary Hall at Y Junction in Rajahmundry on Sunday under the auspices of CPI and CPM.

    Telugu Desam Party Rajamahendravaram rural constituency MLA Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary, TDP leader Adireddy Apparao, Congress leader Balepalli Muralidhar, Andhra Pradesh Civil Rights Association State president and lawyer Muppalla Subbarao, CPI (ML) New Democracy leader K Joji and others attended the meeting. CPM district secretary T Arun and CPI district secretary T Madhu also attended.

    The speakers at the roundtable alleged that during the election campaign Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy promised that he would not increase electricity charges, but after coming to power he falsified his word. They criticised that electricity charges have been increased seven times in these four years. Apart from the burden of changing the slabs, the government also burdened the public with Rs 31,000 crore in the name of adjustment charges, they added.

    The speakers said the electricity charges are decreasing all over the world, but increasing in the country and in the State due to the anti-people policies of the Central and State governments. ‘It is outrageous that the agreement to supply electricity to agriculture in the State for 30 years is tied to Adani’s company.’

    The meeting alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jagan are deceiving people by tying up contracts of coal import from abroad, ports and smart meters with Adani.

    CPM city secretary B Pawan, leaders SS Murthy and B Purnimaraju, CPI city secretary V Kondalarao, leaders Rambabu and Nalla Rama Rao, AITUC leader Ramakrishna, Jana Vignana Vedika members Dr Chaitanya Shekhar and DG

    Prasad, SFI district president V Rambabu, district secretary N Raja, AIDWA leader B Sudha and others participated.

  • HRF demands enjoyment survey for tribals

    HRF demands enjoyment survey for tribals

    Anakapalli: Human Rights Forum (HRF) urges Anakapalli Collector to get an enjoyment survey done to ascertain cultivation by Adivasis at Kotha Veedhi. Adivasis of Kotha Veedhi and Gunti of Konam revenue in Cheedikada mandal organised a day-long protest at Nehru Chowk, Anakapalli on Friday calling for protection of lands in their possession and their cashew cultivation. They alleged that land sharks are trying to dispossess them of what is rightfully theirs.

    Addressing the gathering, HRF functionary VS Krishna recalled that the HRF team had visited Kotha Veedhi and Gunti on August 30 last year and examined the lands being farmed by 16 Adivasi families in survey no: 289. Nine of these families are Kondhs, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), who had set up home in the area about three decades ago and named it Kotha Veedhi.

    Further, Krishna alleged that the settled cultivation of Adivasis at Kotha Veedhi was being deliberately concealed so as to benefit land grabbers who are eying the land. National secretary of the All India Agricultural and Rural Labourers Association (AIARLA) PS Ajay Kumar detailed the manner in which land records were brazenly manipulated to the detriment of the Adivasis. Gemmela Balaraju, an Adivasi farmer of Kotha Veedhi said they had toiled for 30 years and brought the land under cultivation. Their repeated appeals to authorities concerned to visit the land in their possession fell on deaf ears. Meanwhile, revenue personnel were instead manipulating digital land records to favour benami agents behind who were some powerful interests. “Officials are all the time questioning us why we adivasis are cultivating the land, but are not bothering to ask the land grabbers why they had never cared to cultivate the land if it really belonged to them as they claimed.”

    A Balakrishna of the Kaulu Rythula Sangam wondered how a white ration card holder could purchase over 37 acres at Rs 1.63 crore. He alleged that there were many cases in the constituency of the Deputy Chief Minister and V Madugula MLA where Adivasis were being sought to be deprived of lands in their possession by a nexus of benami holders and corrupt revenue officials. Extending solidarity to the Adivasis, IR Gangadhar, advocate and Congress party functionary said they would extend free legal support to the Adivasis’ struggle.
