A story of Farmers in Adibatla Village of Ranga Reddy - Hyderabad - India

For the last ten years, the governments in center as well as state governments, irrespective their political affiliations have been resorting to forceful and rampant land acquisitions of agricultural lands belonging to the poor and hapless farmers in the name of SEZs for the development of  industries, information technology,soft ware technology , space and aviation technology etc.The various governments at the center have brought some amendments to the colonial and draconian British Land Acquisition ACT of 1894 for the worst .At least, the existing Law was used to acquire the land  only for the purely public purpose such as for construction of dams ,roads,railway lines ,canals and housing etc ,but ,now the central government has brought an amendment to the  effect that any land acquisition taken up by the government is considered as Public purpose and with this amendment the present rulers in the governmental hierarchy are making the" hay while sun shines".The hapless and gullible farmer has come in handy to get  robbed off by the political leaders of ruling governments of their fertile agricultural land at throw away  price and selling these lands to foreign and indian industrialists at exorbitant prices .For example,at Adibatla village in Ibrahimpatnam mandal Hyderabad district of Andhra pradesh ,the government acquired the land by intimidation  in survey no.656 @RS 540000/ per acre and sold the same to TATA Aerospace technology ltd with a foreign coloboration Firm @RS 4000000/ per acre of land .One can imagine how many hands are wet in this deal.These farmers were owners of this land before they surrendered to govt ,but now , they all are now  daily wage labourers in the TATA Firm and TATA has become boss and big Land lord in the village Now .how pity and lethergic fate of these people of this village.Here in the same village some more lands are being proposed to be acquired for the purpose of EXPANSION OF HARD WARE PARK @Rs151000/per acre ,but fortunately the Honorable Supreme Court if India is pleased to grant a stay against the AP state government proposal and the case is still pending in the high court  of AP. Even now the govt instead of withdrawing the case in favour of the farmers has vociferously pursuing the case and on every hearing ,the Advocate General him self is asking the time for postponement of the case  and   trying to threaten the gullible pattedars of the fertile agricultural lands.the GOD alone save these farmers ,because ,the elected political leaders,bureaucrats (IAS,IPS and revenue officers) are being colluded with land sharks,land brokers,real estate enterpreneurs to grabb these lands at the cost of lives of the farmers.
