‘The value fixed for land is much lower than the market price’
The Forum for Development of North Andhra (FDNA) has appealed to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy against going ahead with the decision of the Cabinet to sell away 10.39% of its stake in Gangavaram Port to the Adani Group.
In a letter to the Chief Minister on Friday, FDNA general secretary A. Aja Sarma said that the land given to the Gangavaram Port by then State government was spread over 2,800 acres, which was originally acquired for the Visakhakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP). The previous government had allotted the land to the Gangavaram Port at a cost much below the market price.

‘Also take up the issue of Jhanjavathi project with Odisha Chief Minister’
The Forum for Development of North Andhra (FDNA) has welcomed the initiative of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in writing a letter to his Odisha counterpart on the Neradi project on Vamsadhara river.
In a letter to Mr. Jagan on Sunday, FDNA general secretary A. Aja Sarma described Vamsadhara as the lifeline of Srikakulam district. According to the agreement made with Odisha in 1962, Andhra Pradesh has to get 57.5 tmc ft, i.e. half of the total of 115 tmc ft. The Gotta Barrage, completed in 1977, could provide irrigation facilities to 1,48,230 acres. But, Andhra Pradesh was using only 17,841 tmc ft, while the remaining water was flowing into the sea.
