Bangaru Rythu prog launched
Karimnagar: District Collector Pamela Satpathy launched Bangaru Rythu programme on Saturday during which she urged to focus on alternative crops by giving priority to oil palm cultivation. A Bangaru Rythu awareness programme on oil palm farming was organised in Karimnagar on Saturday by Lohia Oil Palm Plantation Company. Speaking on the occasion, the Collector said, 'Oil palm farming is beneficial among alternative crops. Intercropping can also be cultivated in this crop. If a farmer works hard for three years, he can get a net income for 30 years through this crop.' Satpathy said that the government provides a subsidy of up to Rs 51,000 per acre for four years for oil palm cultivation. 'Only 320 farmers are cultivating oil palm in 1,200 acres in the district. The cultivation area needs to be expanded to 3,000 acres this year,' she said. Lohia Company CEO Siddhant Lohia said that Lohia Group is working sincerely to turn every farmer into a golden farmer through a village outreach campaign in the district. He explained to the farmers about the gold scheme and bumper lucky draw for the farmers who are cultivating oil palm. The foundation stone laying ceremony of the factory will be held on September 4. The District Horticulture Officer said that the farmers can get a net income of four to six lakhs from oil palm cultivation.

476 illegal land registrations cancelled in Karimnagar
KARIMNAGAR: Following the Lokayukta verdict, Karimnagar Collector Pamela Satpathy has issued orders for the cancellation of all registered documents pertaining to government lands that had been registered in the names of private individuals in Kothapally revenue village. According to officials, hundreds of registrations were made in violation of rules by the Registration department. These registrations pertain to Survey Numbers 175, 197 and 198, covering approximately 20 acres of land. A total of 476 documents were registered, with the present value of the land estimated at around Rs 100 crore. A case regarding these registrations was first filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court in 1995. Despite the pending litigation and court directives against registrations and transactions, registrations continued. In 2015, the Lok Satta Udyama Samstha approached the Lokayukta. The Samstha's then-president N Srinivas lodged a complaint stating that the registrations were ongoing despite the High Court's orders. However, following his death, the matter saw no further follow-up. Meanwhile, some private persons obtained registrations by approaching the High Court and allegedly influencing registration authorities. These transactions fall under the jurisdiction of the Gangadhara sub-registrar's office. The Lokayukta took a serious view of the situation and directed revenue authorities to submit details of the lands. In response, Karimnagar RDO K Maheshwar wrote to the Registration department in November 2024, instructing the cancellation of all such registrations within two days, but no action was taken. Subsequently, the Lokayukta issued further directions to the district collector to ensure the cancellations and submit a report. The collector then instructed the Registration department to act accordingly. Speaking to TNIE, Gangadhara sub-registrar Md Afzal Khan said that they had received orders from higher officials. He confirmed that all registered documents related to the lands would be cancelled within two days, and the lands would be categorised as 'prohibited' to prevent further transactions.
