The Andhra Pradesh government has released the third installment of ₹10 crore towards compensation for land affected by the Guntur Channel project.
The Andhra Pradesh government on a recent date released the third installment of ₹10 crore for land compensation related to the Guntur Channel project, following earlier disbursements. The Guntur Channel, a major irrigation and flood‑control initiative, has required acquisition of agricultural land in the Guntur district, and the compensation scheme is intended to provide fair remuneration to affected landowners. The release of the third installment marks a significant milestone in the government's effort to complete the compensation process; officials have indicated that remaining payments will be made once all documentation is finalized. The move has been welcomed by local farmers and community leaders who have been awaiting the final disbursement, and the government has reiterated its commitment to ensuring timely payments and resettlement.
