Telangana government acts on land disputes
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Telangana Government in India formed a committee to address disagreements over lands designated under Section 22A of the Registration Act.
Chief Commissioner of Land Administration D.S. Lokesh Kumar will lead the committee, which also includes Law Secretary Papi Reddy and Registration and Stamps Inspector General Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanthu. The government created this group within 48 hours after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy pledged to find solutions to the Section 22A issues.
The government also moved to quickly resolve other land issues as part of a 12-point action plan. Officials issued orders to process applications from residents of L.B. Nagar colonies within one month, with the decision expected to benefit over 9,700 families. However, any regularisation of these lands will depend on rulings from the high court.
Alongside this, the government will begin regularising layouts and colonies approved by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, or Directorate of Town and Country Planning where registrations had previously stopped due to Section 22A. They also plan to address housing issues in areas covered by Singareni Collieries Company Limited, reversing a stalled regularisation process from 2008. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka will discuss solutions with local representatives.
