Kadthal Farmers Seek Relief from Power Line Project

HYDERABAD, November 30, 2025 – A delegation of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders met with officials from the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) in Hyderabad on Sunday, urging them to mitigate the losses faced by farmers in Kadthal, Rangareddy district, due to the construction of the Bidar-Maheshwaram 765 kV transmission line.

Led by Rajya Sabha member Vaddiraju Ravichandra and former MLA G. Jaipal Yadav, the BRS leaders presented the concerns of farmers who fear substantial economic hardship as a result of the project. The farmers previously raised their concerns with BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao, who advised them to seek intervention from Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

Following Rama Rao’s suggestion, Ravichandra and Yadav led a delegation of farmers to meet Khattar in New Delhi on November 3rd. The Union Minister subsequently directed PGCIL to investigate the matter and prevent losses to the Kadthal farmers.

The meeting in Hyderabad was a direct result of that directive. PGCIL officials, including Chief General Manager B.P. Rath, Senior Consultant Ashok, and Deputy GM Santosh, engaged in discussions with the BRS leaders and representatives from the affected farming community.

Attendees at the meeting also included prominent members of the Kadthal area, including State President of the Sarpanches Association Laxminarasimha Reddy, DCCB Director G. Venkatesh, and several farmers.

PGCIL officials assured the BRS leaders and farmers that they would escalate the issue to higher management for further consideration. The situation is closely being watched, as the Kadthal region has high value of lands, and the livelihoods of the farmers there depend on the matter being resolved.
