Toguta labourers gear up for ‘battle’ for R&R package

Even as some farmers of Vemulaghat in Toguta mandal have accepted the government offer after fighting for more than 945 days seeking implementation of Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act – 2013 (LA Act- 2013), labourers of Toguta are getting ready for another round of fight with the government.
Their contention was that they were not being offered any compensation under the R&R package which was mandatory as per the LA Act-2013. On Tuesday, they stalled heavy machinery from working near the fields. They urged the authorities to take action against those violating orders issued by the High Court.
In a memorandum submitted to authorities on Tuesday, the farm labourers said the court has directed the government not to commence works till R&R benefits were extended to them.
