Warangal Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) Md Iqbal and his team received a large number of applications from landowners. When TNIE visited the Bhupalpally Revenue Sadassulu at Mattewada in Warangal district and Punelu village in Hanamkonda district, applicants were seen waiting in long queues to submit their land documents.
Most of the applications received during the day were related to issue of passbooks for Sada Bainama deals, Service Inam land and survey numbers.
One of the applicants is 63-year-old B Rajender, a resident of Mattewada, who has been waiting since 1991 for a passbook for 10 guntas of land he acquired through Sada Bainama.

Why TN's mango season soured: Uninterested pulp units, faltered exports and the road ahead
CHENNAI: The summer is past, but the sweat of uneasiness is still dripping from the eyebrows of mango farmers in Tamil Nadu, as the season was different this time around. While the 'king of fruits' entered households in abundance, as it generally does, the mango cultivators, who otherwise remain off the media glare, also entered the drawing rooms, virtually. They caught the attention of the media and thereby those in power, at least briefly, during the peak season in June. For about two weeks, the media, with its appetite for drama, covered episodes of farmers dumping mangoes in large quantities on the roads in protest and out of desperation, as the pulp-making units, whom they primarily rely on for selling their produce, either did not buy the fruit citing poor demand from up the value chain or offered an abysmal price of Rs 1 to Rs 5 per kg. While talking to TNIE in June, NT Bharat from Paradarami in Vellore pointing to a couple of thousand tonnes of mangoes harvested in the region with no buyer coming forward, said, "Officials said they will find a proper solution. We asked when? They do not understand the urgency. Our fruits are already rotting. If a person has a heart attack, we treat them immediately, right?". K Murugan from Marandahalli in Dharmapuri district said dumping the produce on roadside was a better way to prevent further losses. "We would otherwise have to spend Rs 1 per kg for cleaning and transport, besides labour charges for collecting the fruits, at a time when the companies are not even offering us Rs 5 per kg," he said. R. Venkatesan of Katpadi in Vellore, meanwhile, had a tractor full of mangoes waiting outside a pulp factory in Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh for a few days, expecting that they would be procured. "The fruits are rotting as we speak. It's heartbreaking," he told TNIE in the third week of June.

TN's Mango farmers left in lurch as pulp units shut doors, exports falter
The summer is past, but the sweat of uneasiness is still dripping from the eyebrows of mango farmers in Tamil Nadu, as the season was different this time around. While the 'king of fruits' entered households in abundance, as it generally does, the mango cultivators, who otherwise remain off the media glare, also entered the drawing rooms, virtually. They caught the attention of the media and thereby those in power, at least briefly, during the peak season in June. For about two weeks, the media, with its appetite for drama, covered episodes of farmers dumping mangoes in large quantities on the roads in protest and out of desperation, as the pulp-making units, whom they primarily rely on for selling their produce, either did not buy the fruit citing poor demand from up the value chain or offered an abysmal price of Rs 1 to Rs 5 per kg. While speaking to TNIE in June, NT Bharat from Paradarami in Vellore pointed to a couple of thousand tonnes of mangoes harvested in the region with no buyer coming forward, saying, 'Officials said they will find a proper solution.

'The fruits are rotting as we speak. It's heartbreaking,' he told TNIE in the third week of June. As voices from TN's mango-growing districts intensified and pressure mounted from the opposition parties, the state government met owners of pulp-making companies on June 16, 'urging' them to procure the mangoes, but to no avail. A week later, Chief Minister MK Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan seeking the implementation of the Market Intervention Scheme for mangoes in the state to compensate the farmers through Price Deficiency Payment (PDP), with the Union and state sharing the cost equally.

Intense jostling ahead of CPI state secretary polls
CHENNAI: The 26th state conference of the Communist Party of India (CPI) commenced in Salem on Friday in the presence of party national general secretary D Raja and state secretary R Mutharasan. The four-day conference will conclude on August 18 with the election of a new state secretary, a post that carries considerable weight in steering the party's strategy in Tamil Nadu. As per party rules, a state secretary can serve only three consecutive three-year terms. Mutharasan, who has held the post since 2015, has already completed three terms, with his latest election in 2022 delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. He has, therefore, been at the helm for nearly a decade. Though his tenure technically ends now, a section of senior leaders indicated that a precedent exists for a fourth term. They pointed out that after a 2002 amendment to the party constitution, veteran leader R Nallakannu was elected to a fourth consecutive term as state secretary. 'If the same principle applies, Mutharasan may once again be in the race. That is why there appears to be less visible competition among senior leaders,' a functionary told TNIE on condition of anonymity.
