Following a complaint from village sarpanch M Vasu, Sangareddy officials have taken action to protect government land worth crores of rupees at Annaram village in Gummadidala Mandal.
According to the sarpanch, politicians and industrialists were illegally occupying 273 acres of government land in survey number 261.
He had previously complained to the Lokayukta and stated that he had received threats as a result of the situation.
In response to the complaint, Finance Minister T Harish Rao ordered a survey of the disputed land and decided to grant land patta (state government land deed) to eligible farmers.
Furthermore, on Monday, district collector P Veera Reddy met with the villagers and informed them that 273 acres of government land in survey number 261 includes 117 acres allocated to poor farmers from SC, ST, and BC communities, 15 acres to Indiramma Colony, 10 acres to Cheruvu Shikham, and 75 acres to ex-servicemen.
According to revenue records, the remaining 44 acres of land are supposed to be left vacant.

“Some claim that industrialists have encroached on the government land, others allege that it was purchased from ex-soldiers. The government has already issued land certificates to 108 farmers, but only 94 have been confirmed to be in possession of the land,” said the collector.
Veera Reddy declared that a land survey will be conducted on the 273 acres of government land over the next two days to determine whether the land has been illegally occupied or if it bears invalid titles.
To address the issue, temporary Mee-Seva centres will be established in the Tehsildar’s office, where farmers can apply for pattas through the Dharani portal.
Veera Reddy finally urged the farmers to work with the revenue staff to complete the survey and receive their documents on January 11 or 12.
