CM Revanth urges new Telangana surveyors to protect land rights, boundaries

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said that the Telangana people dethroned the BRS government for introducing the ‘draconian’ Dharani Act. The people’s government scrapped the Dharani Act soon after coming to power in the state and protected farmers from losing their ownership rights on their lands.

‘Land is our beloved mother’

Handing over appointment letters to revenue surveyors on Sunday, the Chief Minister said that the previous government brought the Dharani Act to hold arbitrary authority over the lands by a handful of people. People gave a big mandate against the BRS government in the assembly elections. “We made the promise of scrapping Dharani and fulfilled the same soon after coming to power in the state.”

Further, the Chief Minister said that every struggle in Telangana revolved around land and the armed peasants' struggle was meant to liberate them from the landlords' dominance, the CM said. “We all consider the land as a beloved mother.”

Coming down heavily on the last government for not issuing job notifications, CM Revanth said that the people’s government was filling all vacancies by issuing job notifications. “We are seeing happiness in the eyes of the unemployed by undertaking the job recruitment process,” he said.

Aiming for $3 trillion economy by 2047

The CM appealed to the surveyors to protect the rights of landowners and determine the boundaries of the land. The CM warned that the government will face consequences if the surveyors commit mistakes.

Further, the CM said that the officials should also cooperate with the government to achieve the goal of making Telangana a 3 trillion US dollar economy by 2047. We need your cooperation to move forward in that direction. Surveyors are the partners in the development of Telangana. All of us should also stand by farmers who are considered the backbone of the country, the CM asserted.
