Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said in the proposed rectification, simplification and cleansing of land records should be done without causing any harm to farmers’ interests and with transparency. The rectified land details list should be displayed in the village with signatures of farmers.
The entire process of comprehensive rectification of records should be done in a simple, transparent and easy manner so that people would be able to understand it. As part of the cleansing, in the first phase, records of 95 percent of lands having no litigation or problems should be finalised, the Chief Minister said.
The Chief Minister held a review meeting at Pragati Bhavan on the issue on Wednesday. Deputy Chief Minister Md Mahmood Ali, Municipal Administration Minister K T Rama Rao, Hyderabad Mayor Bonthu Rammohan, Chief Secretary SP Singh, Whip Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, Police Housing Corporation Chairman K Damodar, MLC Karne Prabhakar, CMO officials, Mission Director (Land Records Updation) Vakati Karuna, Collectors Raghunandan Rao, Venkatram Reddy and other officials participated in the meeting.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said, “Godavari water will be available abundantly from next year from the Kaleswaram project. We will fill the tanks. With this, former seven districts will get water. With bumper crops, both people and farmers will be happy. Old revenue terms like Pahani, Sethwari are not from Telugu. Change these terms into simple and colloquial Telugu. Similarly, there is no need to have so many columns in Pahani. The documents should be simple and without any difficulty. Land records updating programme is being launched against this backdrop.”
He instructed the officials to set up 1,193 teams and allot nine villages to each team and it would take three months to rectify, update and cleansing the records. All 31 District Collectors were authorised to allot the villages to the teams. He said the farmers should get rid of land related issues and should be able to cultivate peacefully.
The Chief Minister asked the officials to abolish all revenue courts except that of the District Collector. “The practice of farmers pledging their pass books in the banks should go; instead the banks should give loans based on the online information.
Land related issues are within the power of the State governments and hence the final decision of the State government holds good. Hence, the land records cleansing and updating programme should be done without giving any scope for any litigation. For those RDOs, MROs and districts where the programme is done on time should be given incentives, he said.
