Collector pledges full compensation for Veligonda Project oustees

The Markapuram Collector on Tuesday assured justice and complete compensation for all families displaced by the Veligonda Project, distributing land title deeds to oustee families during a formal ceremony. The move comes as authorities prepare for the scheduled release of water from the project, with officials committing to finalizing all compensation packages before the water begins flowing. The Collector stated that residents currently residing in rehabilitation villages established for displaced families will receive their full entitlements prior to the project becoming operational. The distribution of land title deeds marks a significant step in the resettlement process, granting legal ownership to families who have lost their original properties due to the project's implementation. Officials said the administration is working to ensure a smooth transition for all affected residents, with compensation structures designed to provide long-term livelihood security to oustee communities.
