Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao felt that the revenue officials have neglected their primary duty of maintaining the revenue records, as they were busy with several welfare and development programmes of the government.
Since the revenue land records are not being maintained properly, it had lead to several litigations and disputes. Now it is decided to rectify, cleansing of the land records all over the state in the next three months and hence the Collectors, Joint Collectors, RDOs, MROs should take this programme on a top priority basis, the CM suggested.
“We have decided to put Rs 8,000 per acre for two crops per year in the bank accounts of farmers as an Input finance assistance. There should be clarity on the land ownership rights. The government has taken several lakh acres of agriculture land from the farmers for projects, laying of railway lines, schools, hospitals, and such public utility activities but these were not recorded.
