Overview
- The state has launched a phased comprehensive re‑survey with a first phase that selects 2,720 villages across 32 districts and has started work in about 1,000 villages with 416 surveys completed.
- Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has instructed district Collectors to accelerate field work, visit villages regularly, explain the objection process to landowners and make public announcements every 15 days after notices are issued.
- Officials must use DGPS rovers and GIS/QGIS tools to map boundaries, enter survey numbers and land areas into digital systems, and preserve all technical outputs as authoritative, auditable records.
- Palair constituency is the pilot covering 141 revenue villages, and the government will revise the issued Standard Operating Procedure where field feedback shows implementation gaps.
- The minister ordered Collectors to clear pending Section 22-A cases on priority, told them to review each parcel on the ground, and asked for weekly district-level reviews and a high-level report on unresolved Urban Land Ceiling and related files.
