Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao demanded the Telangana State government to take over the SEZ lands, which are not in use, for construction of houses for poor instead of taking the Osmania University lands.
Speaking to the media here on Friday after visiting SEZ lands in the district, VH asked the government to construct the houses for poor people in SEZ lands. VH visited the FAB City SEZ lands located in Jennaiah Gudem in Maheshwaram Mandal, in the background of the Chief Minister KCR’s intention to take over 11 acres of Osmania University land for construction of houses to the poor. On this occasion, the farmers who lost their lands due to the SEZ, explained their problems to him and urged the latter to make the government to give back their lands, which were forcefully taken by earlier governments.
