Tada villagers in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district protested the state government's decision to take back agricultural land for a house pattas scheme.

Victims of the acquisition, already disadvantaged Dalits, vowed to self-immolate if the government does "injustice" to them. They appeal to the Collector, local MLAs, and MRO to file a petition not to take the land.

One woman, a farmer, stated that their families have cultivated the land for 60 years and that nobody has harassed them until Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power. She alleges that officials collect money but offer no help.

Police threaten daily harassment to vacate the land. Now, the government must address this issue and consider unused government lands elsewhere for the scheme.

Villagers ask, "Which poor person doesn't want a house? But we also need the means to sustain ourselves."

This news story highlights questionable governance over marginalized communities. Should the government proceed with the scheme, it must offer commensurate compensation to affected villagers.
