Chintalapudi: The Andhra Pradesh Rytu Sangham has demanded that the state government pay compensation of Rs 30 lakh per acre to farmers whose lands were taken for the purpose of constructing the Chintalapudi Lift Irrigation Scheme.

He said that the compensation should be in accordance with the market price of the land. Separate compensation should be given for trees, bore wells and sheds, he added. The State government should hold meeting of affected farmers with the officials to speed up the rehabilitation works.
