We have acquired about 50,000 acres from 28,000 families and Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) was offered for 13 villages. I am lucky to have constructed so many projects. I thank Chief Minister, Finance Minister and others for their cooperation in acquiring land and completing these projects,” said Mr Venkatarami Reddy and promised to do justice to all the oustees without fail.
