Four Families Remain in Kakinada SEZ Villages Without Compensation
There are four families living in three villages that are part of the Kakinada Special Economic Zone (KSEZ).
These families have not moved out because they haven't received any money or help to leave their homes.
The other villagers have already left, and their houses have been torn down.
The four families are living alone, without basic things like lights or water.
They have asked the government for help many times, but they haven't gotten any response.
One family used to farm and earn a lot of money, but now they have to work as daily laborers.
Another family is scared to go outside after 4 pm because of wild animals.
They hope that their local leader, who is now the Deputy Chief Minister, will help them.
Four families remain in three villages of the Kakinada SEZ without compensation or R&R packages.
The families live in isolation with no basic facilities like street lights or water supply.
Other villagers have vacated and their houses have been demolished, except for the four families' homes.
The families have repeatedly requested help from the government but have not received a response.
One family hopes that Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan will resolve their issue.
