Dear Friends
You may be aware that 10 MGNREGA/ workers (women) belonging to Teeleru village, Marikal mandal of Narayanpet district were buried alive on 10th April 2019. The local groups in the district held Dharnas and Rasta Roko’ s demanding justice to the bereaved families the same day. The Govt machinery and the local political leaders visited the village. The Chief Minister expressed shock and instructed immediate relief measures. A team CSOs/POs/ Unions visited the village on the 11th April’ 2019 to find out what went wrong which caused this tragedy. We went to the work site and also spoke to the families who lost their dear ones.
