Telangana to take up survey, digitisation to combat temple land encroachment
Hyderabad: To safeguard temple land parcels within the state from encroachments, the govt has decided to take up a survey of the said land parcels. As part of the new initiative, a specialised plan has been formulated to carry out a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) survey of temple lands.
This process will include the digitisation of the lands and the creation of boundary maps.
The digitisation of temple lands is expected to assist in identifying encroachments and ensuring legal protection. Land surveys will be executed utilising DGPS technology, in conjunction with GPS, Electronic Total Station (ETS), and CAD software. Officials have indicated that this will facilitate the development of precise maps.
Upon completion of the survey, the details and boundary maps of the temple lands will be accessible online.
If successful, this survey will represent a significant achievement in the protection, digitisation, and determination of legal rights concerning temple lands in Telangana. The govt has initially identified three districts for the DGPS survey. A pilot project will be implemented in the districts of Nalgonda, Rangareddy, and Hyderabad-Secunderabad.

These districts have experienced considerable encroachments on temple land parcels, which has prompted govt intervention through the survey.
To curb temple land encroachments, the govt previously allocated land for temple rituals. Records show that 87,235.39 acres have been allocated to temples in the state. The income from leasing these lands is used for temple rituals. Endowments department oversees temple protection and land conservation.
However, land protection responsibilities have been assigned to assistant commissioners and executive officers.
Due to a shortage of personnel, each officer is responsible for two to three mandals. Lack of proper supervision has led to allegations of land encroachments.
Mahabubnagar district has recorded the highest level of encroachment, with 3,018.01 out of 5,522.22 acres occupied. Medchal district follows in second place, with 2,888.18 out of 4,125.03 acres encroached. Hyderabad district ranks third, with 2,374.25 out of 5,718.01 acres occupied.

I explore the zodiac's shadow selves through human figures on a dark wooden wheel, set against a cosmic nebula. Aries Today, singles may find themselves seeking new connections. Embrace life's surprises with an open heart. Love yourself enough to lower your defenses—true bonds are formed when you're authentic. Stay true to who you are, as someone may be drawn to your genuine self today. For those in committed relationships, take time to appreciate your partner. Small gestures of love and consideration will strengthen your bond. Taurus It's important to express your needs and desires clearly—your partner can't read your mind. The best approach is to be honest and direct about your feelings. Don't assume your partner knows everything you're thinking. Strengthen your communication by being open and willing to share your emotions. This will help build a stronger and more loving connection. Gemini Despite what the world may seem to suggest, hope remains. Misunderstandings or recent missteps are temporary and will soon give way to clarity. Trust that the universe is working in your favor. Be open to finding your ideal partner and welcome whatever comes your way with an open heart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Cancer If you've overlooked the fact that your partner also needs understanding and care, it's time to realign.

Ayodhya Ram Mandir: 45kg gold worth Rs 50 crore used; public access to Ram Darbar restricted
Ayodhya Ram Mandir: 45kg gold worth Rs 50 crore used; public access to Ram Darbar restricted AYODHYA : Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the Ram Temple Construction Committee, said 45kg of pure gold was used in the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He said the estimated value of the gold, excluding taxes, is around Rs 50 crore. Gold has been used extensively in the doors on the ground floor of the temple and the throne of Lord Ram. He said gold work is still on in the Sheshavatar Temple. While the main structure of the Ram Mandir has been completed, other parts of the temple complex, including the museum, auditorium, and guesthouse, are still under construction. These are expected to be completed by Dec 2025. Following the consecration of Ram Darbar, Mishra said arrangements are being made for controlled public access to the sacred space. For now, only a limited number of devotees will be allowed to visit the Ram Darbar, and entry will be regulated through passes, which will be issued free of cost, he said. The trust will finalize a plan for public access at a forthcoming meeting, Mishra said. The consecration ceremony has drawn large crowds to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. Champat Rai, general secretary of the temple trust, on Friday advised the temple visitors to exercise patience for visits to the Ram Darbar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP? Tome isso 1x ao dia se tem mais de 40 anos Portal Saúde do Homem Clique aqui Undo A trust official clarified that the newly consecrated Ram Darbar is not yet open to the general public. As the Ram Darbar is 20-foot-high and requires devotees to climb nearly 40 steps, there are limited arrangements for going up, and the lift's construction will take time, Rai said. "A lift is being constructed for elderly devotees, but it will take time to complete. Devotees will have to wait to visit the Ram Darbar due to unfavourable conditions and, after the rainy season, public visits may be possible," Rai said. The final task will be to hoist the flag on the temple's shikhara, likely in Oct or Nov, once the weather is favourable. Until then, minor works will be completed, Rai said.

75+ Eid Mubarak Messages, Greetings, Wishes and Quotes for Eid-ul-Adha 2025
Eid ul-Adha, or Bakrid , is a day of great importance for Muslims around the world. It marks the day when Prophet Ibrahim, a believer and follower of God's word, was ready to sacrifice his son when God asked him to. But seeing his devotion, God sent a ram to take his son's place. Today, families mark this occasion by offering a sacrifice, which is usually a goat, sheep, or cow, and sharing it with loved ones and those in need by offering donations and charity. It is a day of prayer, gratitude, and giving, and a reminder of devotion, generosity, and the importance of caring for one another.
