Hyderabad, April 13: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has applauded the resettlement and rehabilitation package implemented for the displaced fishermen of Gangavaram deep water seaport in Visakhapatnam.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice A.R. Dave and Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada, while delivering its verdict on a public interest litigation observed that "Upon perusal of the reply filed by the state, it is crystal clear that the needful has been done and is still being done by the state for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the displaced persons of Dibbapalem.
Rehabilitation of the entire area is not a small thing and that definitely takes a lot of time". It may be mentioned that the state government has sanctioned a deep water port in Dibbapalem village of Visakhapatnam district with an investment of Rs 2,000 crore under the public-private partnership. The project was awarded during the Telugu Desam government. From the beginning of the project, the fishing community has been resisting the private port as it would displace 3,600 families of Gangavaram village. As part of the re-settlement and rehabilitation package the government promised to provide jobs and take up comprehensive rehabilitation.
