Hyderabad, Nov 19: The proposed meeting between Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and farmers refusing to part with their lands under the land pooling scheme meant for the development of a new capital city may not take place, according to informed sources here on Wednesday. The sources said farmers belonging to nearly 11 villages in the capital region claim that they do not have any information on the proposed meeting in Hyderabad.
