Farmers' response to Amaravati LPS positive, and concerns raised will be addressed, says Tadikonda MLA Sravan Kumar
The State government has almost completed the first round of consultations with the farmers on the proposed Amaravati Land Pooling Scheme (LPS 2.0) that is aimed at expanding the capital city, according to TDP's Tadikonda MLA Tenali Sravan Kumar. 'While a majority of the farmers in the Amaravati capital region are willing to part with their lands under the LPS to the A.P. Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA), several others have expressed concerns and raised certain demands, which will be taken to the notice of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu,' Mr. Sravan Kumar told The Hindu on the sidelines of the grama sabha at Nidumukkala on Saturday. 'Many farmers are supportive of the government's vision, but they have raised pertinent issues regarding compensation and future benefits. We will ensure their voices reach the Chief Minister,' Mr. Sravan Kumar said. He said works costing more than ₹42,000 crore had already been initiated in the first phase of Amaravati construction, including government buildings and LPS layouts, with completion timelines ranging from nine months to three years. 'With the capital city evolving, the government is receiving an influx of proposals from private firms. New mega projects are in the pipeline, including a Quantum Valley, an international airport, and an international sports city, all necessitating significant additional land,' he said. To meet the growing demand, the government launched the LPS 2.0, targeting to pool over 47,000 acres across Tadikonda Assembly constituency in Guntur district and Pedakurapadu constituency in Palnadu district. 'The development under LPS 2.0 will not financially burden the government or the APCRDA. It will be self-sustained through investments from interested private companies. We are creating a model that is both visionary and viable'Tenali Sravan KumarTadikonda MLA Importantly, Mr. Sravan Kumar said the development under LPS 2.0 would not financially burden the government, or the APCRDA. 'It will be self-sustained through investments from interested private companies. We are creating a model that is both visionary and viable,' the MLA asserted. Acknowledging the farmers' demand for revised compensation, especially in comparison with the market value of already developed plots, Mr. Sravan Kumar said, 'While we understand their concerns, farmers must also realise that land values will increase manifold once development is complete. Still, we are committed to securing maximum benefits for them.' Taking a swipe at the previous YSRCP government, Mr. Sravan Kumar accused former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of halting development and disturbing over 1,200 acres of capital land in the first phase. 'As a result, the NDA government is now compelled to acquire land for the proposed sports city under LPS 2.0,' he said. 'Without sports infrastructure, we cannot expect international sporting events or nurture local talent,' he said. 'Out of the proposed 47,000 acres, only 10,000 acres will be available for direct government use after allocating land for returnable plots, green zones, public utilities, and infrastructure,' he added.

AP: YSRCP accuses Govt of harassing mango farmers before Ex-CM's visit
Tirupati, July 5 (UNI) Former TTD Chairman and former MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy has strongly condemned the coalition government for its oppressive tactics against mango farmers in Chittoor district and its attempts to obstruct former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit to Bangarupalyam on July 9. Speaking to the media here on Saturday ,Bhumana criticized the government for intimidating farmers to prevent them from attending YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit, spreading false propaganda about its cancellation, and failing to support farmers facing severe losses. The former MLA highlighted the government's neglect to ensure fair prices for mango farmers, forcing many to destroy their orchards due to financial distress. He cited the case of T Kumar from Tumindagu village, who was fined Rs. 12,750 by forest officials for cutting down 16 mango trees, an act driven by the lack of viable returns and government support. 'This is the coalition's tyranny, punishing farmers for their desperation while failing to address their plight,' Bhumana said. He contrasted this with Karnataka, where NDA leaders secured Rs 16 per kg for farmers, while Andhra Pradesh's government remained indifferent, holding superficial meetings with pulp factories to falsely claim support. Despite obstacles, Bhumana asserted that YS Jagan's visit to meet distressed farmers is confirmed. 'No amount of intimidation or denial of permissions will stop YS Jagan from standing with farmers,' he declared, noting that YSRCP has twice requested the district collector for security and permissions. He also dismissed Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan's remarks as irrelevant, urging the government to focus on farmers' welfare instead of suppressing their voices. 'Farmers are ready to share their grievances with former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy and the government's attempts to silence them only expose their failures,' he said, vowing that YSRCP will continue to fight for farmers' rights.

APMC asks FMGs to wait for NMC clarification on internship duration
As the issue of pending Permanent Registrations (PRs) of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) in the State gained political traction, with YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy voicing his support for the graduates, Andhra Pradesh Medical Council (APMC) Chairman Sreehari Rao and Registrar I. Ramesh have clarified that the council is following the National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines. The FMGs had staged protests for four days from Monday last, demanding that the process of issuing PRs to them, pending for more than a year, be expedited. The delay is due to different interpretations of the guidelines issued by the NMC with regard to the duration of internship for the FMGs who have done a part of their course online during the pandemic. In a statement on July 4, the APMC Chairman and Registrar had said that the FMGs who had gone back to their universities in other countries were first allotted one-year internship. The NMC guidelines, released in November 2023, had come into effect later, they said. As per the guidelines, those who studied the penultimate year and final year of their medical courses online due to the pandemic should undergo two years of clerkship. This should be followed by one year of internship to make-up for the offline training. As per the November 2023 guidelines, if the FMGs studied online in their final year only, then they should undergo one year of clerkship and one year of internship. Accordingly, orders were issued to the principals of all medical colleges to communicate the same to the FMGs, they said. The APMC Chairman further said that some FMGs who had a problem with the two and three-year internship duration approached the A.P. High Court, which said that all the rules issued by the Centre and NMC should be followed. Later, an FMG had filed an appeal, the judgment for which was expected. Even while the matter was sub judice, a few FMGs had staged protests, they pointed out. Mr. Sreehari Rao and Mr. Ramesh said that Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav, who had taken note of the issue, instructed the APMC to schedule an appointment with the NMC and seek a solution to the problem. 'The FMGs are not convinced and insist on continuing their agitation despite the Minister's assurance,' the statement said. The APMC had, in its council meeting on June 17, decided to issue PRs for all those with valid compensation certificates from their parent universities. The graduates, at their wits' end, began their silent protest when they felt the process was being delayed once again. Regarding the compensation certificates, Mr. Sreehari Rao and Mr. Ramesh added that these were 'not justified' for their period of online study with offline study. They said the internship for two years was justified because the compensation certificates did not specify the period of online study. The Chairman appealed to the FMGs to wait till the NMC clarified the issue. Support for FMGs Meanwhile, support started pouring for the beleagured FMGs from many medical associations and parties, including the CPI. All India Medical Students' Association's Foreign Medical Graduates' wing released a statement expressing its support for the FMGs and condemning the alleged high-handedness of the police while taking protesting FMGs to police stations. Telangana Junior Doctors' Association, too, expressed its support to their A.P. counterparts. A.P. The Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes' Association criticised the APMC for refusing to issue PRs for 13 months, and added that the issue should be resolved at the earliest as the delay was causing mental distress among the FMGs. The Bharatiya Human Rights Council, a registered organisation, had written to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu demanding justice for the FMGs and abolition of 'arbitrary' allotment of 2-3 years of internship for the FMGs. They demanded that the NMC guidelines, which other States were following, be followed in toto.
