Penumaka farmers part with their lands for Amaravati capital city
The farmers submit their consent letters to APCRDA Additional Commissioner Kollabattula Karthik
Eight Penumaka farmers have willingly donated 7.10 acres of land under the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS) to aid in the construction of Amaravati, the new capital city. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) announced this on Wednesday, with the farmers submitting their consent letters to the APCRDA Additional Commissioner, Karthik Kollabattula, at their headquarters in Rayapudi. K. Sudharani, Penumaka's Special Deputy Collector, was present at the event.
The 7.10 acres being contributed consist of 0.54 acres within the designated regions for farmer development in the capital region, 3.07 acres set aside for the planned trunk road network, and 2.12 acres designated for flood management initiatives. The village, which falls under the Amaravati LPS 1, had some residents who did not participate in the scheme prior to 2019.
