Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy launched the property registration work in 37 village secretariats in the state. Officials have selected 37 village secretariats where integrated land survey was completed on pilot basis.
The state government is conducting integrated land survey across the state for the first time in 100 years. The survey is conducted using the latest technology, including drones for physical mapping of the land and the boundaries.
The officials told the chief minister that the integrated land survey would be completed by June 2023. They further said that they have engaged three drones for every revenue division and videography of the lands through the drones would be completed by December 2022. The digitalisation would begin and mapping would be completed accordingly, the officials said.
The chief minister told the officials to ensure that all disputes, including ownership and boundaries are resolved amicably before issuing permanent land ownership pattas to the owners. He also told them to give clear titles to the lands gifted by the ancestors. He told them to hold consultations with the persons involved in disputes and resolve the issues amicably through dialogue. The chief minister wanted the officials to resolve the issues at the village secretariat levels.
Jagan wanted the officials to give no room for corruption while carrying out registration of properties at the village secretariats. He wanted them to reduce the time frame for dispute resolution and properties registration. He directed the officials to ensure that the records are tamper-free.
The registration documents should have clear information on the extent of the land, its boundaries and the names of the owners and the nature of the land. The information with all these details should be recorded after getting clear information from the owners, he said.
