Kesari Yadamma, 63, was a native of Pallepahad village in Toguta mandal of Siddipet district which got submerged by the Mallannasagar reservoir under Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) in August 2021.
In 2019, officials of the Revenue and Irrigation departments certified that Yadamma is a resident of Pallepahad village and her house was acquired for Komuravelli Mallannasgar project. Officials also took her photo standing in front of her house along with her son, Ashok Goud, and daughter-in-law Kousalya.
As both of them were living at Timmapur, they were considered ineligible and Yadamma was the only person identified as a genuine resident.
