TDF Organizes Seminar on “Problems and Prospects of Palamoor”
Feb 25, 2006
On Feb. 25, 2006, Telangana Development Forum (TDF-USA), Palamoor NRI Forum and
Palamoor Intellectual Forum organized a seminar at Jaya Prakash Narayan
Engineering College(JPEC) to discuss about irrigation, employment and migration
issues in Palamoor.
The following guests spoke about various issues: Shri R. Vidya Sagar Rao, Prof.
K. Madhusudan Reddy garu, Shri Penta Reddy garu (Lifting and pumping Engineer),
Shri Raghavachary, Prof Ramesh Reddy garu, Shri M. V. Ranga Reddy, K. S. Ravi
Kumar (JPEC Chairman) and Ravi Prakash Mayreddy (TDF-USA).
R. Vidya Sagar cautioned that if the proposed Polavaram, Pulichintala,
Dummugudem and Pothireddypadu projects are completed, Telangana will be
effected very adversely. He appealed to Palamoor people, MLAs and Ministers to
stand up and fight for their fair share of projects and water. Water is key to
the development and all other sectors development will depend on irrigational
facilities. He suggested that if Jurala can be completed with another 40
crores, it can store another 5 TMC water. There is a bigger conspiracy going on
under the name of “Jala Yagnam”, to deprive Telangana people from their fair
share of water. Both Vidya Sagar Rao and Penta Reddy made power point
presentations, showing statistics of injustices and pictures of the incomplete
projects.
Muncipal Chairman Obedulla Kotwal, Bar Council member advocate V. Manohar
Reddy, TRS leader Niranjan Reddy, Lok Satta state secretary B. Ram Reddy,
CPI(M) secretary Kille Gopal, TRS leader Jalajam Sathya Narayana and many
others participated in the seminar.
A video made by G-TV on “Palamoor Migration” is screened. Andheshri songs on
Telangana were well received by audience.
At the end of the seminar, a citizen’s action committee was formed to take
forward the issues discussed in the meeting and represent to public
representatives.
We thank the Chairman and staff of JPEC and providing facilities and lunch to
the participants.
