In a firm directive aimed at reshaping public service, Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has urged tahsildars and sub-registrars to adopt a more compassionate and efficient approach. He emphasized ending the frustrating practice of making citizens run from office to office for basic resolutions.

  • Minister reviewed Revenue, Registration, Survey, and Housing departments in Nalgonda district.
  • Officials must examine land applications positively and dispose of them quickly.
  • Stringent action warned for negligence in handling pending applications.
  • Re-survey first phase to be completed by October end, second phase in December.

A Call for Change in Bureaucratic Culture

During a review of the erstwhile Nalgonda district's departments, Minister Reddy stressed that every land-related application should be handled with a positive mindset and resolved promptly. The message was clear: bureaucracy must serve people, not hinder them.

Re-survey Priorities and Transparency

Reddy directed officials to prioritize the state-wide re-survey, ensuring the first phase wraps up by October. Preparations for the December phase should begin immediately. He insisted on transparency, especially in the 70 villages covered initially, and firm establishment of village boundaries.

Accountability and Implementation

The Minister highlighted that effective execution of the Bhu Bharati Act falls squarely on revenue officials. Negligence won’t be tolerated, he warned, signaling a new era of accountability in public service.
