CM Naidu Orders Removal of 4,977 Acres From Section 22-A
A very important leader called the Chief Minister visited a small village office to listen to people's problems.
Many people who used to serve in the army, called ex-servicemen, owned land they could not use or sell.
A special rule called Section 22-A had kept their land under government control.
The ex-servicemen told the Chief Minister how hard this made their lives.
He listened carefully and asked an official named Ms. Vetri Selvi to fix the problem.
She was told to remove such lands from the forbidden list and make the process easier.
Soon, officials freed 2,745 acres of land in hundreds of villages.
In total, the government removed 4,977 acres from the special list in the district.
The people thanked the Chief Minister and said they were happy with the decision.
They also liked a government programme called 'Mee Bhoomi-Mee Hakku' that helps solve land problems.
CM N. Chandrababu Naidu visited the tahsildar's office at Kalidindi village in Eluru district on Monday.
He directed collector Vetri Selvi to remove lands from the Section 22-A list and to empower revenue divisional officers to simplify the denotification procedure.
Ex-servicemen told the CM their Section 22-A lands were unavailable for any use and caused them problems for several years.
Officials denotified 2,745 acres from 830 villages; the state government removed 4,977 acres from Section 22-A in the district.
Naidu also directed the categorisation of assigned lands as patta lands and handed over copies of 1B Adangal.
