Puttapaka farmers in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri slam Telangana govt over Regional Ring Road alignment that threatens fertile land, urging fresh survey and fair solution.

The controversy over the Regional Ring Road (RRR) has sparked anger among farmers in Puttapaka village, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri. Locals say the new alignment of the southern stretch cuts through fertile agricultural fields, threatening their only source of livelihood.

Farmers argue that the road could easily be shifted to nearby barren hill land, which holds little farming value. Instead, the government’s current plan sacrifices rich farmland, raising questions over its priorities.

Critics say the state has failed to balance development with people’s welfare. Infrastructure cannot come at the cost of farmers’ survival. By ignoring local voices, the government risks further distrust among rural communities. Farmers are demanding the cancellation of the present plan and a fresh survey that respects both development needs and agricultural livelihoods
