allotment to SC & ST Community, the land lease for

mining was given by the Government of Andhra

NO. 330 of Tudi village & Sy. No. 185 of Vandua

village in 2010. Susequent to this part of the land was

alloted to weaker section benificiaries by the distirict

authoriaties. Out of the total land alloted to us, 58.45

acres of land is not alloted to any benificiaries. Based

on the obections raised during public hearing, we
