Andhra Pradesh Officials Require Farmers’ Presence During Land Re-survey
Andhra Pradesh is checking land records again to make them more accurate.
Officials say farmers or their family members should be present when their land is measured.
Farmers must also help confirm the boundaries of their fields.
Officials will compare the field information with government documents.
They will send notices explaining the land details found during the process.
Farmers are expected to receive pattadar passbooks with correct measurements.
The government is using e-KYC and advanced rover equipment for the work.
Thousands of survey teams are working in villages across the state.
Officials say the program is intended to prevent mistakes and solve land disputes by March 2027.
Survey officials were directed to inform farmers in advance and ensure their presence during land re-surveys.
