MLA Patel accuses forest department of obstructing tribal housing
An MLA named Vedamma Bojju Patel spoke in the government meeting about problems in her area called Khanapur.
She said that forest officials are not allowing tribal people to build their houses, even though the government has given permission.
These tribals have special certificates for their land, but they are still being troubled.
Also, farmers in the area have trouble taking their crops to the market because there are no good roads.
The MLA wants the government to fix these problems quickly.
MLA Vedamma Bojju Patel raised concerns in the Legislative Assembly about forest department officials obstructing the construction of houses for tribal families in Khanapur constituency.
Tribal families are facing difficulties in building homes sanctioned under the Indiramma housing scheme due to forest officials claiming the land belongs to them.
Farmers in Islamapur are cultivating cotton but lack proper road facilities to transport their produce to the market.
Tribals with forest rights certificates are being booked and jailed by forest officials when they plough their lands.
The MLA urged the government to take immediate action to remove these hurdles and resolve the problems caused by the forest department.
