In the Kamareddy region of Telangana, farmers who were against the master plan proposal intensified their protests.  The local farmers protested against the alleged inclusion of their agricultural lands in an industrial zone that was part of a draft master plan for Kamareddy town. 

On the 19th of January, Thursday, the Jagityal farmers intensified their protest against the Master plan and planned to block the roads on the Jagityal and Nizamabad road.  The farmers have prepared plans for protests and stage dharnas under the aegis of Joint Action Committee (JAC) saying that they do not trust oral assurances want Government Order (GO) cancelling new master plan. 

Earlier, Gram sabhas were held in many villages in demand to cancellation of the master plan.  The gram panchayat passed the unanimous resolutions to remove their village from the master plan and handed over the copy of the resolution to the Municipal Commissioner of Jagityal. 

Mr. Jeevan Reddy, the Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) who attended the Timmapur Gram Sabha, extended his support to the farmers.  Farmers are gearing up to form Rythu JAC to raise protests against the master plan.
