VISHAKHAPATNAM: Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has promised to protect lands that were grabbed during the past several years. He said the YSRC government ignored the plight of the tribal families by not implementing the much-needed Tricor loans and by setting aside another 13 schemes. Under this scheme, the central government provides 60 per cent project cost and the state government 35 per cent, leaving only 5 per cent for the beneficiary to pay. He said the alliance would try to resolve the elephant menace destroying crops and threatening human lives by consulting the ministry of environment, forest and climate change. Focus would also be on Uddanam, where the patients were “still suffering due to lack of attention” from the government.
