Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has said the Bhu Bharati re-survey will provide a permanent solution to long-pending land disputes in Telangana and restore confidence among farmers and landowners.Speaking after distributing Bhu Aadhaar-linked pattadar passbooks to 780 farmers covering 1,378 acres after resolving an assigned decade-old land dispute at Narayanapur in Kesamudram mandal in Mabubabad district on Monday, Mr. Reddy said a comprehensive land survey had been conducted in Telangana about 125 years ago and no such exercise had been undertaken since then. Successive governments in undivided Andhra Pradesh and the previous government in Telangana had failed to take up a comprehensive survey, he alleged.As part of the Bhu Bharati re-survey, every inch of land was being surveyed and pattadar passbooks carrying QR codes and maps were being issued to farmers and landowners.The Minister also assured farmers that the issue concerning nearly 150 acres of assigned land in Narayanapur, which had reportedly been under cultivation for generations, would be resolved soon.Later, Mr. Reddy, along with Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Seethakka, reviewed the functioning of the Revenue and Housing departments in the erstwhile Warangal district at the Mahabubabad Collectorate.He expressed dissatisfaction over the performance of Revenue officials and directed them to discharge their duties responsibly. Officials who caused inconvenience to the public would face stringent action, he warned.He cautioned officials against taking decisions contrary to rules in matters concerning the 22-A prohibited list and other land-related issues.The Minister also expressed anger over reports that some Tahsildars were signing attendance citing deputation but were not attending review meetings convened by elected representatives.
