Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Wednesday directed the officials to update land records without harming farmers' interests.
The Chief Minister held a review meeting at Pragati Bhavan on Land records rectification, and simplification in which many prominent officials participated.
Speaking on the issue, the Telangana Chief Minister said that the entire process of comprehensive rectification of records should be done in a simple, transparent and easy manner so that people will be able to understand it.
Adding, Rao said that as part of the cleansing, in the first phase, records of 95 percent of lands having no litigation or problems should be finalized.
The Chief Minister also suggested that all the revenue courts should be abolished except that of the District Collector.
Informing further he said that land records updation programme is being launched against this backdrop under which 1193 teams will be formed and 9 villages will be allotted to each team and it will take three months to rectify, update and cleansing of the records.
The practice of farmers pledging their pass books in the banks should go; instead the banks should give loans based on the online information, said the Chief Minister.
