Revenue minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has directed officials to speed up the comprehensive land re-survey across Telangana and ensure the process is transparent and accurate.
At a review meeting held via video conference, the minister said the re-survey — the first of its kind in the state after a long interval — was important for resolving long-standing land disputes and giving landowners clear legal rights and precise boundaries.
Telangana has 10,954 revenue villages. The first phase of the re-survey covers 2,720 villages, with 70 villages selected in each of the state’s 32 districts, excluding Hyderabad.
Survey work has begun in 1,000 villages and has been completed in 416. Officials were asked to accelerate work in the remaining villages to meet the targets.
The minister instructed officials to examine revenue records and use tools including Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) equipment, rovers, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and QGIS to establish land boundaries accurately. They were also asked to identify and verify discrepancies in boundaries, survey number divisions and land extents.
Survey details, including land area, boundaries and survey numbers, must be accurately entered into technical systems and preserved digitally, officials were told.
After the survey, officials must issue notices to landowners under the prescribed regulations, giving them an opportunity to verify their land details and submit objections or suggestions within a specified timeframe.
