Last month the government had promulgated an ordinance merging some villages and mandals of Telangana into Seemandhra in a bid to deal with resettlement and rehabilitation of those displaced by the Polavaram project.
The ordinance aims at facilitating smooth resettlement and rehabilitation on part of the multi-purpose project which will help in irrigation and power generation.
The amendment will enable land for land in the same revenue division where people will be displaced.
