Telangana Land Survey To Continue For Next 100 Days 

Hyderabad: Telangana government launched the massive comprehensive land survey in the state on Friday which aims to address disputes and litigations over maintenance of land records and ownership. The move has been embarked over more than eight decades which wasn't taken up by the previous governments.

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in a released said, "The land survey took place during the Nizam's rule in 1932-36 in the region. After that no survey was done."

Over 10,000 government officials have been deployed for the work and will carry out for 100 days. The officials from the revenue department along with recently formed Farmers Association’s Coordination Committees will visit 10,875 villages in 584 mandals. The surveying personnel would stay put in the villages for conducting the survey and they will update land records online and new passbooks would be distributed to land owners after rectifying the records.

Deputy chief minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali said, "Three special teams have been sent to each district who have been issued annexure to be filled during the survey." A total of 21.75 lakh acre land records will be sanitized spanning across three months and the process is estimated to complete next year in January.
