| A plot venture at Pochera cross road in Boath mandal |
New plot ventures are being created converting the
agriculture fields into plots with the hope that people of the villages to be
submerged in the project will buy the plots.
Political leaders encouraging real estate business announced
that soon the project will be taken up and villagers have to vacate their
houses leaving the land to be submerged. People of submerged villages will lose
their fertile lands under the proposed project.
Realtors have entered into the scene and luring the
gullible people of the villages to be submerged if the Kupti project materializes
and asking them to buy the plots without much delay as the prices will increase
once they were evacuated their villages.
The agriculture lands have been converted into plots
in Neredigonda mandal headquarters, Tejapur village and Pochera cross roads, Kauta
in Boath mandal and also Ichoda mandal headquarters and these villages are
surrounding to the villages to be submerged under the Kupti project.
Land value has gone up in these villages in the
recent past with the entry of the realtors. The plots which used to be sold for
Rs 50,000 are now selling for Rs 2 lakh and same is the case with the
agriculture lands.
The realtors even selling lands without patta and
government assigned government lands to the gullible people though 1/70 (Land
transfer Act) will not allow the land transfers between tribal and non- tribals
and cannot be registered.
The land prices have increased abnormally in the
last three months after Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao visited the Kupti
project site in Neredigonda in the last September.
However, the irrigation engineers had prepared three
designs as far as project site is concerned to construct the Kupti lift
irrigation project. One of design aimed to reduce the submergence of the
fertile lands and villages Kupti, Kumari and tribal villages Gandhari and
Gajili in Neredigonda and Mode village in Bajarhathnoor mandal under the
project.
Kumari Grampanchayat sarpanch Mandula Ramesh said, “It
would be good if the project would be constructed without much submergence of
fertile lands and affecting the habitat of the forest animals and villages”.
He said land prices increased many folds in the
surrounding villages and towns in the last three months with the news that
their villages will be submerged in the project.
It is estimated that nearly 1,200 acres of land
including 400 acres of forest will be submerged under the Kupti project.
