Bhu Bharati operational in 28 mandals from today
Hyderabad: The Telangana government is implementing the full-fledged Bhu Bharati Act across the state from May 5, taking one mandal each in the 28 districts, excluding Hyderabad. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy instructed all the District Collectors to attend the revenue meetings at mandal level and resolve the doubts raised by the farmers and the locals, in a language that they can easily understand.
The government has so far implemented the Bhu Bharati Act in four mandals in the state on a pilot basis. In a statement, the minister informed that as part of the project, the revenue meetings will be held in 28 mandals of 28 districts of the state starting from May 5 till 20. Similar meetings were held in four mandals of four districts from April 17 to 30.
The main purpose of these revenue meetings is to create widespread awareness among the people about the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights In Land) Act, 2024 and to receive applications from the people on land issues and resolve them. The minister urged the Collectors to effectively implement the Bhu Bharati Act, which was brought in after thorough consultations and study to permanently solve the land problems of farmers in the state.
Recalling inconsistencies in the earlier Dharani portal, the minister said owing to the mistakes made by the previous government, hundreds of families in every village in the state faced land-related problems.
He alleged that the Dharani has disrupted people's lives, as many families have been torn apart. Contrary to the expectations of the people, land rights have been usurped in the state in the last ten years. In the previous government, there was no other way to resolve issues but to approach courts. In the present government, the authorities will go to the farmers and resolve their problems, he asserted.

1 2 Hyderabad: Housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy on Friday announced that three more phases of the Indiramma housing scheme will be rolled out to benefit 20 lakh poor families over the next three-and-a-half years. Speaking at a programme in Peddapalli district, he said that in the first phase, 4.5 lakh houses have already been sanctioned, with 3,500 units allocated per assembly constituency. Additionally, 10,000 Chenchu families and beneficiaries in ITDA areas have been granted homes over and above the standard quota. Reaffirming the Congress govt's commitment, the minister assured that all 20 lakh houses will not only be sanctioned but also constructed within the current term—unlike the previous BRS govt, which promised 2-BHK units but failed to deliver. Listing the welfare measures of the govt, Ponguleti said the Congress is also continuing beneficial schemes introduced by the previous regime. He urged people to support Congress in the upcoming local body polls, as they did in the 2023 assembly elections. Highlighting reforms, he said, "We scrapped the Dharani portal and brought in the Bhu Bharati Act, enabling revenue officials to resolve land issues directly in villages.

Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill to curb ‘urban naxalism' diluted, will be tabled in monsoon session of state legislature in July
Mumbai: A revised diluted draft of the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill 2024, which seeks to curb the rising influence of naxalism in urban areas, is set to be tabled during the monsoon session of the state legislature in July. The bill, which was initially tabled in July 2024, was termed "repressive" and "anti-people" as it gave state govt sweeping powers to crack down on Naxal or leftist activities. In Dec 2024, a 26-member joint select committee, headed by BJP minister Chandrashekar Bawankule and comprising legislators from all political parties, was set up to review and scrutinise the bill. This panel has diluted the objectives and some of the provisions of the bill based on the 1,200-plus suggestions and objections received from citizens and social organisations. "There were some misunderstandings about the provisions of the bill, which we have cleared. The revised bill is now based on the consensus of all members of the joint select committee," said Bawankule. "Some changes have been made, like political parties or individuals will now not be booked under the proposed Act, but only those organisations linked to left-wing extremism or naxalism will be probed.

NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad, a member of the joint select committee, said the dilution of the bill was a victory for the opposition and the people of the state who objected to this draconian proposed law. "Now the bill is only related to unlawful activities by organisations involved in Naxalism, and not individuals. We had objected to the bill using the term 'urban naxalism'. We also demanded that instead of 'left-wing extremism', only 'extremist or hardline activities' must be used," he said, claiming that the word 'urban Naxal' has been removed from the tweaked bill. Bawankule said changes were also made with regards to investigations. "Investigation will be done by an assistant commissioner of police in urban areas and a deputy superintendent of police in rural areas, instead of a police sub-inspector as mentioned in the initial draft," he said.
