Panchayat Raj officials survey hilltop hamlet for laying road in Anakapalli district
The engineering officials and staff led by Deputy Executive Engineer (Panchayat Raj Projects), Chintapalli, D. Suresh Reddy and J.E. Kiran, conducted a survey at the hilltop hamlet of Jajulabandha in Arla panchayat of Anakapalli district for the preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for laying of a BT road from Pithrigedda to Jajulabandha. The officials visited the hamlet after the 'Spotlight' story titled 'Diseases haunt A.P.'s verdant hills' published in The Hinduhighlighted how seasonal diseases are affecting the tribal people and their travails in carrying the sick in dolis in the absence of roads to the hilltop hamlets. They told the villagers that they would prepare the DPR and cost estimates and submit a proposal for the road work to the government. 'We conducted a Differential Global Positioning Survey (DGPS) survey on June 4. We visited the hamlet trekking from Pithrigedda to Jajulabandha on June 3. We are in the process of preparing the DPR, which will be submitted to the State Technical Adviser (STA) of PM JANMAN in about a week for approval. It will pass through various stages to reach the Empowered Committee. The entire process will take three to six months,' Mr. Suresh Reddy told The Hindu. 'The road from Arla to Pithrigedda was sanctioned under the MGNREGS in December 2024. The work is in progress and is expected to be completed in six months,' he said. 'The government sanctioned ₹1 crore under MGNREGS for laying a road from Arla to Jajulabandha in 2023. The officials built only four culverts and showed in the records that they had spent ₹28 lakh. The tribal people staged protests to highlight the apathy in laying the road, after which the work was stopped,' said K. Govinda Rao, district executive committee member of CPI(M.)

Drone-based survey to be part of Bhu Bharati pilot project
KHAMMAM: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Tuesday described the Bhu Bharati initiative as a historic and rare legal reform in Indian history. He said that the law's primary objective is to comprehensively survey agricultural lands, clearly define boundaries and resolve all disputes related to land ownership. The deputy CM, along with Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao, formally launched the Bhu Bharati survey pilot project at Mulugumadu village under the Madhira Assembly constituency. The trio initiated a drone-based survey in the village as part of the launch. The state government has chosen five villages for the pilot phase of the Bhu Bharati initiative, with Mulugumadu being one among them in Khammam district. The survey process involves the use of drones to map land boundaries, satellite imaging to gather geospatial data, and the application of DGPS (Differential GPS) and rovers to assess ground reality. Officials will demarcate the boundaries of lands and villages using GPS technology, and prepare LPMs (land parcel maps) and nakshas (revenue maps). The government has identified approximately 413 villages in the state that currently lack land records, maps, and clearly defined borders. The Bhu Bharati pilot will focus on such villages, aiming to create comprehensive records and provide legal assurance to farmers regarding their land holdings. D Srinivas, assistant director of Lands and Surveys for Khammam district, explained that the entire land in these pilot villages will be mapped and every farmer will receive a unique QR code to access their land details. He said that the full survey process is expected to be completed within 20 days.

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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger! Just take this from Guardian URUHIME MOMOKO Learn More Undo 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.
