Nalgonda: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Monday reiterated that land resurvey is the best way for permanent resolution of land issues in the state.
Participating in a review meeting held at Wanaparthy with the officials of erstwhile Mahaboobnagar district, the revenue minister, along with excise minister Jupally Krishna Rao and animal husbandry minister Vakiti Srihari, said some long-standing land issues have already been resolved by the state government. Solutions for other land issues would be found soon through the re-survey.
He said, “Unlike the BRS government that took decisions behind closed doors, the Congress government has been resolving issues by seeking and taking the opinions of the people. As mentioned in the ‘Bhu Bharati’ Act, the state government is moving forward to provide a unique identification, a map with geo-coordinates, and a Land Parcel Map (LPM) number for every land parcel.”
Srinivasa Reddy pointed out that re-survey of the land was taken up by the state government to remove hardships caused to the people by the Dharani Act and the issuing of Bhudhaar cards as mentioned in the ‘Bhu Bharati’ portal. Following the re-survey of lands at 70 revenue villages in the first phase under the Bhu Bharati, a phased re-survey programme is being undertaken for approximately 413 revenue villages across the state, where land maps were not available.
The minister said the state government has acquired state-of-the-art technical equipment for re-survey of the lands. In addition to the land-survey rovers purchased during the first phase, additional rovers have been procured for the second phase and these are being distributed to districts based on the requirements.
Srinivasa Reddy said licences have been issued to thousands of surveyors to speed up the land survey. He urged surveyors to participate in this and make a success of the government’s initiative without giving heed to the “false propaganda” of the opposition party.
Officials, he said, must identify and resolve the issues being faced by families that have been cultivating lands for decades but lacked proper title deeds. They must do so in accordance with rules and regulations.
The minister was confident that a comprehensive land survey could provide permanent solutions to land issues in rural areas such as Saada Bainamas, boundary disputes, errors in old records, and details regarding village settlement properties.
He made it clear that there was no room for politics in the implementation of the Indiramma housing scheme, which was aimed at turning the dream of the poor to own a home.
