The Chief Secretary held a high-level review meeting at the Secretariat on Friday and took stock of the land details in all the districts. The meeting assumes significance as the three-month-long land record survey began in villages and urban bodies on Friday for updating of revenue records.

“State level officials should instruct their district level counterparts to make field level survey to ensure that all the records of the lands are collected and brought under revenue records.
