A Morale Booster To Farmers

The visit of famous activist Medha Patkar to the Tulluru area has come as a huge morale booster to the farmers in the region.

Many of them had apparently told Medha Patkar that they had given their consent letters to the land pooling process, unwillingly.

On the occasion, Medha made a relevant observation. “How can displacing people from places where they have been living for generations and depriving them of their livelihood be considered as being in public interest?” she said.

She also said that she would write to the State government asking it to refrain from the land acquisition apart from writing to the Center as well. But one can’t help feeling that her visit might have come a bit too late in the day.

With the government having secured consent letters to more than 30000 acres, can Medha Patkar now halt the entire activity?
