Yadadri Bhongir’s 22-A List Blocks Property Rights for Thousands
A government list is meant to protect land that officials believe belongs to the government.
In Yadadri Bhongir district, many houses and plots have been placed on this list.
The list includes 28,549 acres and details of 39,648 houses.
People whose properties are listed cannot easily sell them or transfer them to their children.
They may also be unable to get permission to build houses.
This has caused serious problems for many poor and middle-class families.
Residents have protested and asked officials for help.
Officials are now checking old records to correct mistakes and remove eligible private properties from the list.

Registrations, property transfers, and construction permissions have been halted for affected properties.
