Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet has approved permanent pattas (land titles) for residents displaced decades ago by the Sarvepalli canal project, ending nearly 60 years of uncertainty.
- Around 1,400 families have already been relocated to Bhagat Singh colony, while another 1,215 families will receive pattas at a suitable location soon.
- Residents had long feared their makeshift houses along the canal bund could be removed at any time.
- The decision follows an assurance by Municipal Administration Minister Ponguru Narayana, who had coordinated with revenue, irrigation and municipal officials to find a lasting solution.
What to watch next
- Issue of permanent pattas to the remaining 1,215 families and identification of the suitable location
- Implementation of the promised alternate housing for residents still along the canal bund
