‘2-tier appeal system in Bhu Bharati for resolving farmers' grievances
Rangareddy: Making it amply clear that the Bhu Bharati Act was brought by incorporating some comprehensive aspects to address the issue faced by the farmers earlier, the Rangareddy District Collector, C Narayan Reddy said, 'The government brought the Act after certain changes in the legislature.' The New Act will pave the way for inspections at the Tahsildar, RDO and Collector levels thereby to amend the land records which were lacking in the earlier Dharani format.
The Collector addressed the awareness programme on Bhu Bharati Act, also known as Record of Rights Act (RoR Act) on Monday at Abdullahpur Met in the district.
'The land records can be amended as per sub-section 4 and 5 of the Section 4 of the Act. Now the Farmers will have an opportunity to undo the errors pertaining to their lands locally,' He claimed.
'Currently the programme is being implemented in four mandals on pilot basis. However, the same will be expanded to all the mandals of the State from the first week of May this year,' he said, adding that the farmers can avail the opportunity within a year the Act comes into force.
Similar programmes, he further said, will be organised in May and June wherein officials will receive applications from farmers on land issues. Farmers can also be able to apply online through the Bhu Bharati portal.
The Collector made it clear that the land registration and mutation will be done only after proper examining the cases, followed by a survey and proper investigation at field level.
'If any error occurred during the registration and mutation process and the farmers seek correction for the same, they can have the opportunity to appeal for appropriate solutions. The government has introduced a two-tier appeal system in the Land Act. Moreover, if the farmer does not get satisfied with the responses at the Tahsildar level, he can appeal to the RDO within 60 days. If he still feels it unjust, he can have another window open at Collector where he can have another 30 days of time to get it addressed,' the Collector elaborated.
Earlier, local MLA Ibrahimpatnam Mal Reddy Rangareddy, in his address, said that the Telangana government has introduced the new Bhu Bharati (ROR) Act to resolve the land problems faced by the farmers with a specified time frame.
The guidelines were specified through a power point representation during the programme and the details were read out to facilitate the farmers to understand the standard operative procedure of the Act thereby to help them avail the opportunity.

TMC helping infiltrators settle down in Bengal, alleges Union minister Bhupender Yadav
Union minister Bhupender Yadav on Tuesday accused West Bengal 's ruling Trinamool Congress of helping infiltrators from across the border settle down in the state. Yadav also alleged that incidents of attacks on women have been on the rise in the state since Mamata Banerjee became chief minister in 2011. He was addressing a press conference to commemorate the occasion of the Narendra Modi government's completion of 11 years in office.

"The state is not helping Central forces in identifying and deporting foreign nationals and the TMC is helping these infiltrators become residents of this land. Incidents of crime have reached alarming proportions because of the hands-off approach of the state government's policy of appeasement," Yadav claimed. To a question about post-poll violence in West Bengal after 2021 and allegations of attack on the BJP and other opposition activists in the run-up to the 2026 assembly elections, Yadav alleged that apart from those incidents, the number of attacks on common people has increased. Live Events "Think about Murshidabad, think about Malda, think about Sandeshkhali. It is a matter of national shame that a government headed by a woman chief minister has looked the other way when women faced so much brutalities and atrocities in those places," he said. Parts of Murshidabad district witnessed violence during the anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act protests in April and several families fled to neighbouring Malda district. Three people were killed in the violence. Sandeshkhali area in South 24 Parganas district had been on the boil in February last year with protests over allegations of sexual abuse and land grab against TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh, who was arrested later, and his supporters. "Not a single month passes in Bengal without reports of attacks on women being reported. When houses of people were being burnt and women and children bore the brunt of violence in Murshidabad, this administration did not take any action," Yadav said. It was left to the Centre to step in and help the state in restoring normalcy and give safety to people, said the Union minister for environment, forest & climate change. About the post-poll violence against opposition workers, he said, "I think people of Bengal, which is the land of (Rabindranath) Tagore, Vivekananda, Shyamaprasad Mukherjee and Satyajit Ray, which gifted the nation the national anthem Jana Gana Mana and (national song) Vande Mataram, will give a befitting reply in 2026." The assembly elections are due in the state next year. Yadav also flagged the issue of SSC appointment scam and the loss of job of nearly 26,000 teachers. The Union minister also accused the state government of virtually paralysing the transport sector which once boasted of a network of trams, buses and yellow taxis. He said the Centre is doing its bit to set up an integrated Metro Corridor connecting the city.

Explained: The 1950 Act That Lets Assam Expel Foreigners Directly
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said the state was actively considering using a long-forgotten law from 1950 to directly expel illegal migrants without going through the courts. The law in question, the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, empowers even a district commissioner to issue an order for the immediate removal of a person identified as an illegal immigrant. What Is The Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950? The Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, was enacted by the Parliament in the early years of independence to address a pressing crisis in Assam. During the years after the Partition in 1947, Assam witnessed a massive influx of immigrants from East Bengal, which later became East Pakistan and then Bangladesh. The migration was largely driven by communal violence, displacement and the open border. To tackle this issue, the IEAA was passed on 1 March 1950. It gave the Central Government the power to remove any person or group from Assam if their presence harmed public interest or affected the rights of Scheduled Tribes. The law also allowed the government to give these powers to local officers, such as district commissioners, so they could issue expulsion orders directly, without going through the courts. The law was applicable across India but tailored to Assam. Over time, the law was mostly ignored. When the Assam Movement started in 1979, led by the All Assam Students' Union (AASU), people again raised strong concerns about illegal migration. This led to the Assam Accord in 1985, which decided that anyone who came into Assam after March 24, 1971, would be treated as a foreigner. This Act predates several key legislations that are currently used to deal with immigration issues in India, such as the Foreigners Act, 1946; Section 6A of the Citizenship Act; the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964; the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920; and the Passport Act, 1967. In October 2024, the Supreme Court of India upheld Section 6A of the Citizenship Act and clearly said that the 1950 Act was still valid. A Constitution Bench of five judges pointed out that the law allowed even a district commissioner to order the removal of illegal immigrants. The court said this Act can work alongside the Citizenship Act and the Foreigners Act to detect and deport illegal migrants. What Himanta Sarma Said "For whatever reason, our lawyers had not informed us about [the law], and we weren't aware of it either," Mr Sarma said, as reported by The Times Of India. Now that this has come to attention, the government is seriously discussing it, he said. He added that the state had already begun preparations over the last few days to act on this provision. "This time, if someone is identified as a foreigner, we will not send them to a tribunal. We will straightaway push them back." He clarified that those who have already moved court will not be affected by this. Himanta Sarma said that the process of identifying foreigners, which had slowed down due to complications around the National Register of Citizens (NRC), will now be sped up by using the legal powers available under this old but still valid Act.

FIR against BJP leader, kin of Ex-PM Chandrashekhar's son, for threatening Dalit scholar
A BJP leader closely associated with former prime minister Chandrashekhar's son Neeraj Shekhar has been booked for allegedly threatening a Dalit research scholar from Lucknow University, police said on Tuesday (June 10, 2025). According to police, the FIR was lodged late Monday (June 9, 2025) night at Ubhaon Police Station on the complaint of Deepak Kannaujia, a native of Turtipar village. Police said that in his complaint, Mr. Kannaujia, a scholar at the Lucknow University, alleged that BJP leader Alok Singh called him on May 21 and abused him and threatened to kill him. "Record this conversation if you want. I am not afraid of the administration or the law and order in Uttar Pradesh," Alok Singh said, according to the complaint. BJP's Bilthara Road area president Arun Kant Tiwari confirmed that Alok Singh is affiliated with the BJP and is a close relative of Neeraj Shekhar. Mr. Kannaujia alleged that Alok Singh had a longstanding political enmity with his family. He said his father, Kamlesh Kannaujia, died of a heart attack on October 31 last year due to the stress caused by repeated harassment. He said he was afraid Alok Singh might get his mother, who lives alone in the village, killed. Superintendent of Police Omveer Singh told PTI on Tuesday that an audio clip related to the incident had recently gone viral on social media. A preliminary inquiry was conducted by Rasra Circle Officer Alok Gupta, after which Alok Singh was booked under sections 352 (intentional insult) and 351(3) (criminal intimidation) of the BNS, and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
