Revenue Minister Srinivas Prasad has said that the State government has set March 2016 as the deadline for correcting discrepancies which have crept in the 1.61 crore records of Rights, Tenancy and Crops (RTC) in the State.
Mr. Prasad, who chaired a divisional-level review meeting of implementation of various programmes by the Revenue Department in Kalaburagi city, told presspersons on Saturday that computerisation of the RTCs had not solved the problem and mistakes may have crept in during data entry.
“As per the information available with the State government, there are defects in more than 50 per cent of the records,” Mr. Prasad said. Instructions have been issued to set right these defects during Revenue Adalats held in the districts and to reach out to individual houses of farmers.
To a question, Mr. Prasad admitted that not all Assembly-wise Bagair Hukum Regularisation Committees under the chairmanship of respective MLAs have been formed in the State. Out of the total 199 bagair hukum committees to be constituted, only 127 committees have been set up so far.
