Lives Tampered With

Interesting facts came
to light during the tour of the leader of opposition and YSRCP president YS
Jagan in West Godavari.

Mega Aqua Food Park has
been intended to be constructed in Bhimavaram area irrespective of the interest
of the local people. As the management has gotten ready to build the toxic
factory in the residencial area, the Government also has extended its support. Many
innocent people have been imprisoned after attempt to murder cases have been
registered against them. Section 144 has been imposed in the area, hindering
the comfort of the lives of the local people.

As YS Jagan toured in
their villages yesterday, the villagers revealed to him how their lives had
been tampered and how their fight against the establishment of the factory had
been oppressed. They requested him to help them with making sure the factory
was not set up in their area. They thanked the people’s leader for being by
their side. 

• YS Jagan called the food
  park a toxic demon. He extended solidarity to the people who were fighting
  against its establishment in Tundurru area. He promised to bring pressure on
  the Government and the factory’s management in the direction of moving it to a
  different area.
• YS Jagan spoke about the
  ill-effects of the factory like the terrible odour it would yield and the
  pollution caused to the canals and ultimate destruction of cop fields, along
  with the lives of the farmers and the agricultural labourers dependent on it.
• Nobody would be against
  the advent of industries. But building them here would affect their livelihood,
  YS Jagan said. He appealed to the factory’s management to move it to the shore
  area so that nobody would be affected from it. In that case, he assured his
  solidarity to them.
• YS Jagan mentioned that
  the management of the aqua food park should remember that Chandrababu’s
  Government would be there only for two more years and then YSRCP would form the
  Government and do administration as per people’s wishes.
• The whole area had been
  occupied by the police as if it was a war zone. Section 144 had been imposed.
  Cases had been filed against the people who resisted the factory’s establishment.
  If the management went with Chandrababu, they would surely soon drown in the
  Bay of Bengal along with him, cautioned YS Jagan.
• YS Jagan warned the
  management that he would also approach the court if the factory was not moved
  from the current location.
