Telangana Minister Says Land Resurvey Can Resolve Longstanding Issues
Telangana’s government is checking land records and maps again.
The revenue minister says this can help solve land problems permanently.
Some villages have old or missing maps, which can make ownership difficult to prove.
The first survey covered 70 villages.
Another survey is planned for about 413 villages.
New machines called survey rovers will help workers measure the land.
More surveyors have also received licences to speed up the work.
The government says each land parcel will get an identification number and map details.
Officials are also being asked to help families who have farmed land for many years but lack proper title documents.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy called land resurvey the best permanent solution to land disputes.
The government plans to resurvey approximately 413 revenue villages lacking available land maps.
A first phase has already covered 70 revenue villages under the Bhu Bharati programme.
Officials will provide land parcels with unique identification, geo-coordinates and Land Parcel Map numbers.
The minister said resurvey could address boundary disputes, record errors and missing title deeds.

Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy
Telangana Revenue Minister
“Unlike the BRS government that took decisions behind closed doors, the Congress government has been resolving issues by seeking and taking the opinions of the people. As mentioned in the 'Bhu Bharati' Act, the state government is moving forward to provide a unique identification, a map with geo-coordinates, and a Land Parcel Map (LPM) number for every land parcel.”
