Registration Services in 2 Phase Survey Completed in 2,000 Villages by Oct 15
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has asked officials to ensure smooth performance of the registration services in 2,000 Village Secretariats, where the phase-2 initiative has been completed under the YSR Jagananna Saswatha Bhu Hakku, Bhu Raksha Scheme.
The Chief Minister asked the officials to start registration services in the 2,000 villages from October 15, by establishing registration offices in the secretariats.
Stressing the need to denounce the ‘false’ campaign of the pro-Telugu Desam media that has been “twisting” the pro-people’s decisions taken by the government, the Chief Minister wanted the officials to run a public awareness campaign on the good things his government did to the people by way of implementation of land reforms.
During a review meeting on the Saswatha Bhu Hakku-Bhu Raksha held at the CM’s Camp Office here, the Chief Minister said people should know the benefits of the land resurvey and the positive aspects of the simplified process of registrations.
“A section of the media, envious of the good decisions taken by the government, has been distorting facts and publishing lies to create panic among people,” he said.
“While there are one or two surveyors in every mandal in most other states, we have surveyors in every village and they are striving to organise and maintain the records in a foolproof manner for protecting the rights of land owners,” the CM said.
The CM affirmed, “We are also striving to introduce technology to ensure that people can get their property transactions registered from their homes but the media has been twisting the facts and spreading venom to discredit the government.”
The officials informed the CM that under the first phase, a survey has been completed in 2,000 villages and land ownership documents handed over to 7.8 lakh people. Some 19,000 land disputes were resolved apart from completing mutations, creation of survey sub divisions and planting of survey stones.
Out of the 13,460 villages, drone flying has been completed on 12,836 villages. In the other villages, the survey would be over by October 15, they said, adding that the survey imaging was completed in 81 per cent of the villages.
The survey details pertaining to 60 per cent of the villages are yet to be sent to the district offices and 3,240 rovers are involved in the survey work. Preparations are on to hand over the ownership documents to the land owners in another 2,000 villages in the second phase. Registration offices would be set up in all these villages by October 15.
The CM asked the officials to take all possible steps to ensure a hassle-free registration process in all villages while establishing mobile courts at mandal level to resolve grievances and disputes.
The officials informed the CM that the verification of properties in urban areas has been completed up to 91.93 per cent of the areas. The process has been completed in 66 municipalities.
The Chief Minister advised them to constitute special teams to expedite the survey.
