Revenue Meetings In villages Across AP To settle Land Issues From Today

To resolve long-standing land issues, the AP government has started organizing revenue conferences in villages across the state under the name of “Your Land, Your Rights” from Friday. The revenue machinery will be entering the villages to participate in these conferences.

Arrangements have been made to organize the conferences with the intention of not going around the government to resolve land issues, but to go to the people themselves and solve their problems. Arrangements are being made in all districts to organize these in about 17,564 villages for 33 days from Friday to the 8th of next month.

The government has specially appointed an IAS officer for each district to supervise the organization of the conferences. Revenue Minister Angani Satya Prasad will inaugurate the conference in Repalle, Bapatla district. Ministers will also attend revenue conferences in selected villages in the remaining districts.

While continuing welfare and development programs, the state government has given priority to protecting people’s property. The Title Act, which was made without protection for people’s lands during the previous YSRCP regime, was repealed by the coalition government as soon as it came to power.

As a follow-up to this, CM Chandrababu Naidu released a white paper on the ‘exploitation of natural resources’ during the YSRCP regime. In line with this, the steps taken by the Revenue Department are in various stages.

During the last five years of the YSRCP regime, land grabbing, changes in records, and re-survey have caused many hardships to the people in the name of re-survey. Government and private properties have also been left without protection. In these circumstances, the Revenue Minister said that he has focused on permanent solutions to the problems of the Revenue Department.

He said that special officers have been appointed for monitoring at each stage. The relevant Mandal Tehsildar, Surveyor, RI, VRO, Mandal, Village Surveyors, and a representative of the Registration Department will definitely attend the conferences. Forest or Endowment Department officials will also participate in the meetings as per local needs.

All petitions will be registered online in a specially designed window on the RTGS Grievance Portal. 1B Register, 22(A) lists will be made available in the conferences. In these conferences, how are the land records before 2019? How are they now? They will also be examined.

The government has appointed IAS officers who are principal secretaries, secretaries and HODs of government departments as district monitoring officers. To this extent, Sisodia, Special Chief Secretary, Revenue Department, has issued orders.
