K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, on the 13th of December, took a crucial decision regarding the non agriculture land registration.
Mr. Rao appointed a Cabinet Sub Committee under the chairmanship of Roads and Buildings Minister, Vemula Prashanth Reddy.
The committee would interact with all the sections of the society like builders, real estate businessmen and others for three to four days. Based on the interaction and suggestions, the Committee is asked to draft guidelines for registration of non agriculture lands and properties in Telangana.
The members of the Cabinet Sub Committee are K.T. Rama Rao, the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister of Telangana, the Panchayat Raj Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, the Home Minister of Telangana Mohammad Mahmood Ali and the Telangana Animal Husbandry Minister T. Srinivas Yadav.
As per the direction of the Telangana Rashtriya Samithi (TRS) President KCR, the committee would ensure registration of non agriculture lands and properties in a transparent manner.
Under the finalised guidelines for non agriculture lands registration process, there would be no scope for officials to use discretionary powers and forcing people to pay any bribe.
The process would be in a digital format, leaving no scope of corruption. Slot bookings for registration of non agriculture lands started from the 11th of December.
Somesh Kumar, the Chief Secretary of Telangana, launched the process on the directions of the Telangana CM.
The Chief Minister also inquired about agriculture lands’ registration carried out through the Dharani portal and expressed satisfaction over the response of farmers who were happy to get their lands registered through the portal.
Mr. Rao during the meeting said, “There is a need to have a registration process that is simple, easy and comfortable. The real estate sector is doing very well in Hyderabad. Non agriculture lands and properties registration system should not create any problems for the real estate sector and it should, in fact, help the sector’s further growth. The process should be transparent in such a way that people have no scope to pay any bribe. No officer should have any discretionary rights to take any decision. Talk to builders, real estate sector representatives and other related sections.”
Instructing the committee, Mr. Rao asked the Sub Committee to study the problems prevailing in cities and towns and ways and means to solve them to ensure that the policy is implied nicely.
Mr. Rao said, “The poor have constructed their houses without any proper documents. They are being issued electricity bills, property tax and water tax. Problems are cropping up when such properties are purchased or sold. There must be a solution to such problems.”
K.T. Rama Rao, Mahmood Ali, Prashanth Reddy, Somesh Kumar, CMO Secretaries Seshadri, Smita Sabharwal, Rajsekhar Reddy, Bhoopal Reddy, Mee Seva Commissioner G.T. Venkateswar Rao, MLA Balka Suman, MLC Naveen Rao and others participated in the meeting held at Pragati Bhavan, Hyderabad.
