I didn't quite understand what is behind this story. If the villagers are being
compensated and are willing to relocate, why do the Naxalites force them to
remain? What is the hidden agenda? Political?

threat for parting with land KHAMMAM, October 2: In 223 villages in Khammam
district, farmers are facing Naxal threat for having given consent letters to
sell their lands to the Andhra Pradesh Government for the Polavaram project.
Though farmers in these villages had initially opposed the project, they are
now volunteering to hand over their lands to the Government, which has
promised an attractive relief and rehabilitation package. It is estimated
that 62,700 acres of patta land,
22,000 acres of government land and 7,500 acres of forestland would be
submerged and 91,000 people would be displaced due to the project. While
32,000 acres of land is required to rehabilitate the farmers, so far, the
district machinery has been able to acquire only 6,500 acres. The farmers,
though willing, are not coming forward openly to part with their lands due to
the threat from Naxalites, who have been opposing the construction of the
Polavaram project from the beginning. They have also threatened the farmers
with dire consequences if they hand over their lands to the project. Last
year, some farmers in Charla mandal and Satyanarayanapuram village gave
consent letters to the Sub-Collector to sell their lands.The Naxalites gunned
down Datla Anjaneya Varma, who gave his land for the construction of a colony
for the displaced persons. After the incident, the villagers of
Satyanarayanapuram refused to sell their lands. Then the officials focused
their
attention on Dummugudem mandal in Bhadrachalam division. Though the villagers
in this mandal have come forward to sell their lands, they have urged the
officials not to divulge their names. Following threats, many are staying
away from their villages at night. Indian Express October 03, 2007
