Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has ordered an accelerated land resurvey under the Integrated Bhu Bharati portal to resolve long-standing land disputes and eliminate fraudulent records.

  • Target to complete agricultural and abadi land resurvey within 1.5 years.
  • Identification and cancellation of fake Pattadar passbooks.
  • Significant fund allocation for Indiramma Housing Scheme amenities.

Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has announced that the Telangana government is implementing concrete measures to find a permanent resolution to land-related disputes. This is being achieved through an intensive resurvey process conducted under the Integrated Bhu Bharati portal. The Minister emphasized that the resurvey of all agricultural and abadi lands is strictly targeted for completion within the next eighteen months.

Speaking during an interactive session with beneficiaries of the Indiramma Housing Scheme in Jagtial, Mr. Reddy highlighted the government's commitment to rural development. Alongside Social Welfare Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar, the Minister visited the Nookapally 2-BHK Housing Colony and participated in housewarming ceremonies, marking a significant milestone for the local residents.

Combatting Land Fraud

A major component of this initiative is the purification of land records. Mr. Reddy stated that while eligible farmers will receive new Pattadar passbooks upon completion of the survey, the administration is actively looking to identify and cancel fraudulent documents. He alleged that during the previous BRS administration, several ineligible individuals managed to siphon off Rythu Bandhu benefits using forged passbooks.

The integration of digital portals with ground-level surveys is essential to restoring trust in rural land ownership.

The first phase of this massive undertaking is already underway in 70 villages across the state, including key areas within the Jagtial district. This systematic approach aims to ensure that genuine farmers are protected from land grabbing and administrative errors.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that land disputes are one of the primary drivers of litigation in rural India. By streamlining the resurvey process through the Bhu Bharati portal, the Telangana government is not just updating maps, but is actively de-risking the agricultural economy by securing property rights for the marginalized.

Furthermore, the Minister addressed infrastructure gaps in the Nookapalli colony. He revealed that the Congress government has released ₹32 crore to provide essential amenities like drinking water, drainage, and electricity, addressing neglect from the previous regime. Plans are also in place to establish a ration shop and dedicated bus services for the colony.
