Land disputes persist in Telangana villages
In Telangana, India, farmers are having trouble with land disputes.
Even though the government has a new system called Bhu Bharati to handle these issues, it's not working well yet.
Because of this, groups called 'settlement batches' are taking advantage.
These groups are not official, but they are making decisions about land disputes, often favoring those who pay them more money.
Farmers like Ramulu and Venkataiah say that these groups are causing more problems and that the government officials, like Tahsildars, are not helping enough.
They want the government to fix these issues so that farmers can get fair treatment and justice.
Land disputes in Telangana villages persist despite the Bhu Bharati portal.
Unofficial 'settlement batches' are arbitrarily resolving land disputes, often favoring those who pay more.
Farmers allege that Revenue Department officials, including Tahsildars, are not adequately addressing their grievances.
The Congress government is criticized for delaying the strengthening of the Bhu Bharati portal.
Farmers are losing land and money due to the actions of these settlement batches.
