A ‘Special Food Processing Zone’ would in all likelihood come up in about 600 acres in Sangareddy district, close to the State capital.
The district administration is in the process of acquiring in Munipally and Kohir mandals of the district in Sangareddy and Zaheerabad revenue divisions. The process, that commenced long ago, is now gathering momentum.
As much as 288 acres in Kankol and Lingampally villages in Muniapally mandal and 295.31 acres in Venkatapur in Kohir mandal are being identified for acquisition for the purpose of establishing the food processing industries. Mentioning land acquisition the officials pasted notices at panchayat offices last year itself but the process was not yet commenced. Recently they issued notification in this regard.
