Govt to prioritize farmers' opinion on projects
The Andhra Pradesh government is talking to farmers about building a railway track and a big road.
The farmers are worried about losing their land, so they suggested a plan where they can share their land and get benefits later.
The government says it will listen to the farmers and make a decision that everyone agrees on.
Important people from the government and the farmers met to discuss this.
The government wants to make sure the farmers are happy and that the projects are fair for everyone.
The Andhra Pradesh government is committed to protecting farmers' interests in the Capital Region.
A meeting was held with farmers to discuss land acquisition or the Land Pooling Scheme for a railway track and Inner Ring Road.
Farmers expressed concern over direct land acquisition and preferred the Land Pooling Scheme.
The government will proceed with the project only after consulting farmers and taking their opinion into account.
A final decision will be made through consensus in the presence of all stakeholders.
