About 210 Polavaram project displaced families led by women staged a protest in the floodwaters of the Sabari on Thursday seeking the State government’s intervention to settle the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) package.
The families, who reside on the banks of the river bordering Chhattisgarh, threatened to continue the protest until a concrete assurance was given on the package.
The Sabari, which flows into the State from Chhattisgarh, began inundating the houses of the families located at Chintoor in Alluri Sitarama Raju district in the morning.
