Warangal Landowners Face Delays Over Section 22-A Prohibited List
Many landowners in the former Warangal district cannot sell or register their land.
Their survey numbers appear on a government list called the Section 22-A prohibited list.
Some owners say they have pattas, records, paid taxes and continued possession.
Registration officials are still refusing some transactions because of the listing.
About 76,000 acres in Hanumakonda and Jangaon are reportedly included.
People do not have enough public information about which exact plots are affected or why.
At least 48 applications were filed to address such listings in 15 days.
Landowners want the government to check records faster and publish clear details for every parcel.
