HC Warns Telangana Over Land Compensation Delays

HC Warns Telangana Over Land Compensation Delays

The Telangana High Court is very upset with the state government for not paying farmers for their land that was taken over 10 years ago.

The court says if the government doesn't pay soon, it might stop all future land acquisitions.

The farmers' land was taken in 2013 for a big water project, and the court has already ordered the government to pay 50% of the money owed.

But the government hasn't paid yet, and the court is warning them to do so or face serious consequences.

The government is blaming other departments, but the court isn't accepting that as an excuse.
