BJP seeks details of land alloted to SEZs

HYDERABAD: Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandaru Dattatreya on Sunday demanded that the government publish a white paper on the land allotted for various companies and individuals in Special Economic Zones as also the details of the firms which were set up in them.

In an open letter to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, the BJP leader also urged the government to stop acquisition of the land at Chillmathuru and other places where public purpose was not served.

Accusing the State government of acting inhumanly against farmers, Mr. Dattatreya said that lands were being taken away from them in violation of their fundamental rights.
