BJP Demands Urgent Paddy Procurement in Venisompuram, Warns of Mass Protest Over Government Negligence
Gadwal: In a strong statement against the alleged negligence of the Congress-led Telangana government, former BJP district president S. Ramachandra Reddy demanded immediate procurement of paddy harvested by farmers in the district. The remarks were made during a visit to the paddy procurement centers in Venisompuram village, under the leadership of BJP Mandal President Gopalakrishna. Speaking at the event, S. Ramachandra Reddy expressed deep concern over the plight of local farmers who, despite having harvested their paddy over 40 days ago, are yet to receive any response or action from concerned authorities. He pointed out that even after conducting moisture tests, no procurement tokens were issued for nearly 20 days, leaving farmers in distress. He criticized the state government, stating, "The Congress government, which claims to prioritize farmer welfare, has utterly failed in its promises. They cannot even provide basic gunny bags for procurement, let alone the promised Rs. 500 bonus. The majority of farmers in Venisompuram village, a key paddy-growing area in Aija mandal, are still waiting for government support." Reddy further highlighted that no official or public representative has visited the village to inspect or set up a proper procurement center. He lamented that the village was not even allocated a Rythu Vedika, an initiative set up in previous years to provide shelter and support for farmers and their produce during rains, wind, or animal disturbances. 'The absence of Rythu Vedika here shows how neglected this village is—both within the mandal and in the broader state agenda,' he said. He added that farmers are collectively voicing their anguish, as none of the promises made by the Congress government have been fulfilled so far. He also criticized the government's excuse of gunny bag shortage as "ridiculous" and said it reflects the Congress administration's incompetence in handling agricultural procurement and welfare. 'Despite promises to provide extensive welfare benefits to the state's four crore citizens, the reality on the ground is dismal,' Reddy asserted. He warned that if immediate action is not taken—by deploying officials and public representatives to Venisompuram, conducting moisture tests, issuing procurement tokens, and starting loading operations—the BJP along with farmers will launch a massive protest and dharna. The event saw the participation of BJP Town President Lakshman Goud, Venisompuram Booth Presidents Seenu, Srihari, Basavaraju, and a large number of local farmers, who stood in solidarity demanding justice and timely procurement of their paddy.

Bhoo Bharati Act – 2025 Rolled Out to Address Land Issues, Says Collector Santhosh
Gadwal: Rajoli (Jogulamba Gadwal District), April 28: To address farmers' land-related issues within a stipulated timeframe, the Telangana state government has introduced a new legislation named the Bhoo Bharati Act – 2025, District Collector B.M. Santhosh announced today. Participating as the chief guest at an awareness conference on the Bhoo Bharati Act – 2025 organized at the Rythu Vedika in Rajoli mandal on Monday, the Collector explained the provisions of the newly introduced Act to the farmers. Speaking on the occasion, District Collector B.M. Santhosh stated that the Bhoo Bharati Act will offer a concrete solution to the land issues faced by farmers, urging every farmer to become well-informed about the new law. He emphasized that the Act had been designed to address and rectify the challenges posed by the earlier Dharani system by incorporating comprehensive measures. He further noted that after in-depth study and consultations with experts and officials, the government launched this new law on the occasion of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's birth anniversary. The new Act will expedite services such as land transactions, registrations, mutations, regularization of assigned lands, resolution of issues arising from informal (Sada Bainama) agreements, border disputes, and inheritance changes, he explained. Highlighting the importance of transparency and quick grievance redressal, the Collector mentioned that a robust appeal mechanism is part of the Act, wherein farmers can first appeal to the RDO (Revenue Divisional Officer) and, if necessary, to the District Collector against orders issued by Tahsildars. One of the key innovations introduced under the Act is the Bhoodar Card, akin to the Aadhaar card, which will be issued to every landholder. He also informed that in case of land purchases, partition of property, or inheritance transfers, survey sketches prepared by authorized surveyors must be annexed, thereby minimizing future land disputes. Additionally, detailed land maps will be attached to Pattadar Passbooks to maintain clarity of ownership and boundaries. During inheritance proceedings (virasat), notices will be mandatorily issued to all concerned family members to avoid conflicts. Further, the Collector assured that farmers will now be able to rectify errors in their land records locally without the need for prolonged processes. Revenue conferences will be held in each village to address and resolve land-related issues on the ground. The Collector urged farmers to take full advantage of the Bhoo Bharati Act, which the government has introduced as a comprehensive and permanent solution to their land concerns. After his address, the Collector patiently answered various queries and cleared doubts raised by the farmers. The event witnessed participation from Additional Collector Lakshmi Narayana, Library Corporation Chairman Neeli Srinivasulu, Alampur Market Yard Chairman Dodappa, Rajoli Tahsildar Ram Mohan, Market Yard Vice-Chairman Kumar, MPDO Khaja Mohinuddin, Mandal Agriculture Officer Surekha, along with officials from various departments and a large number of farmers.

Bhoo Bharati Act 2025: A Game-Changer for Resolving Land Disputes, Says Additional Collector
Gadwal: Additional District Collector Lakshmi Narayana emphasized that the newly introduced Bhoo Bharati Act - 2025, launched by the state government, is a significant step toward resolving long-standing land disputes and urged farmers to gain a complete understanding of its provisions. Speaking at an awareness seminar on Wednesday held at the Rythu Vedika in K.T. Doddi mandal, the Collector informed farmers about the key features and implementation process of the new law. He stated that the government had formulated the Bhoo Bharati Act with the sole aim of addressing land-related issues. The Act was designed by a team of experts and senior officials, taking into account the evolution of land administration and previous efforts such as land surveys, passbooks, and the R.O.R. Act. Lakshmi Narayana explained that the Bhoo Bharati Act aims to resolve various unresolved issues that were not addressed by the Dharani portal. The Act was formally launched by the Chief Minister on the occasion of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti, incorporating the opinions and concerns of farmers to ensure their welfare. Highlighting a key difference, he noted that while the Dharani system had 33 modules—causing confusion among farmers—the Bhoo Bharati system simplifies the application process by limiting it to just 6 modules. This, he said, will help farmers apply easily according to their specific issues. A comprehensive appeals system has also been introduced, allowing farmers to escalate land disputes from the Tahsildar level to the CCLA (Chief Commissioner of Land Administration) level. The new law also provides provisions for correcting errors in land records. As part of the registration or mutation process, a mandatory land survey and preparation of maps will be required, allowing updates to land extent and ownership details. He also assured that pending Sada Bainamas (unregistered agreements of sale) would be resolved under this Act. Tahsildars are directed to investigate such applications within 30 days, after which automatic mutation will occur. Furthermore, like an Aadhaar card for individuals, each land parcel will be assigned a unique Bhoodhar number, which will help prevent encroachments. Lakshmi Narayana also mentioned that village-level awareness programs would be conducted to resolve local land issues quickly. Initially, the Bhoo Bharati Act will be piloted in four mandals across the state, followed by one mandal in each district. Necessary changes will be made based on feedback before the law is rolled out across the entire state. He called on all farmers to understand and make use of the Bhoo Bharati Act, as it would serve as an important tool in protecting land rights and ensuring justice in land-related matters. The program was attended by RDO Srinivasa Rao, Library Corporation Chairman Neeli Srinivasulu, Gadwal Market Yard Chairman Nalla Hanumanthu, K.T. Doddi Tahsildar Hari Krishna, along with several farmers and officials.
