No Pending Applications Allowed Under 22-A Land Issues - Minister Ponguleti

Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has directed officials to ensure a permanent solution to the 22-A land related issues that have remained unresolved for years. He made it clear that not even a single application related to these lands should remain pending. The minister held a review meeting at the Secretariat with the Collectors and District Registrars of Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Sangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts to discuss the decisions recently taken by the government and the challenges being faced at the field level. He said the government was committed to resolving these long-pending issues and had issued memorandums related to GO 118 and GO 76 as part of its efforts.

Ponguleti explained that the government had permitted the registration of houses, plots and flats included in the 22-A list, provided they had approvals from GHMC, HMDA, DTCP or the respective municipal authorities. He also said clear orders had been issued to address Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) applications, issues involving patta lands where land conversion to non-agricultural purposes (NALA) had not been completed, and the implementation of GO 59. The minister instructed officials to resolve all applications received so far on a war footing. He further directed a high-level committee to submit a comprehensive report within a week on final court judgments related to ULC cases and the possibility of filing Special Leave Petitions on behalf of the government.
