Oustees of Mallannasagar on warpath again

Almost eight months after Godavari water was released to 50 tmcft Mallannasagar in Siddipet district from Keleshwaram last August, oustees of the project are regrouping to bring pressure on the government to pay remaining compensations and address their problems. They had given one week to the government to address their problems.

The oustees of Mallannasagar were accommodated at Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Colony. While some of them were allotted double bedroom houses, some were given house sites along with ₹5.04 lakh for the construction of houses.

The oustees are complaining that in every village there are some oustees left who were not given houses despite opting for them and ineligible were given keys. Similarly they have also been alleging that some compensations were pending. They are claiming that despite moving around government offices for the past several months their problems were not addressed.
