Take up special drive for land survey: KCR to Revenue officials
In a bid to curb land encroachments and contain growing number of legal battles on the ownership of properties, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday instructed the officials to take up filtering all the land records and make public all details of the ownership of the lands.
Hyderabad: In a bid to curb land encroachments and contain growing number of legal battles on the ownership of properties, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday instructed the officials to take up filtering all the land records and make public all details of the ownership of the lands.
To set the things on a right track in the maintenance of land records, the Revenue Department has been asked to conduct a special drive for survey and settlement. The Chief Minister wanted all the land transactions both sale and purchase should be done in a transparent way. He also directed to simplify rules to issue pattadar pass books and pahani documents.
The officials have been asked to prepare a strategy to filter the land records and make future transactions simple and transparent and also an action plan to implement survey settlement with village as a unit and launch the survey as early as possible.
Once the filtration is over, government would put all the details online and also issue new passbooks after the survey. A unique identity number would be given for each land.
At a high-level meeting on filtering the land records with top officials in Pragathi Bhavan, KCR observed that except during the Nizam’s rule in 1936, land records were never scrutinised nor filtered and this led to several disputes.
The Chief Minister also brought to the notice of the officials that the data collected by the Agriculture Department with regard to the agriculture lands was not matching with the Revenue records. This would hinder the official process for the implementation of Rs 4000 per acre for crop input assistance scheme to be launched from next year.
To speed up the survey, the officials were asked to seek the help of Survey of India and other agencies in the country. District Collectors and Revenue officials would not be given other works till the survey is over. Government’s Chief Advisor Rajeev Sharma, Chief Secretary SP Singh and other senior officials were present at the meeting .
