Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the officials to complete the comprehensive land survey in a foolproof manner by June 2023.
At a review meeting on ‘Jagananna Saswatha Bhoomi Hakku - Bhoomi Raksha Survey’ on Wednesday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the project was hampered to some extent by COVID-19, and that it needed to be expedited now to finish it within the stipulated time.
He maintained that there would be no scope for land disputes after completion of the survey as the landowners would be given clear titles.
The Chief Minister exhorted the village and ward secretariats to be prepared to provide all types of services to the people, including the issuance of birth and death certificates.
The officials told the Chief Minister that 70 base stations had been set up so far and that the project was going on with high accuracy. More base stations were being installed, they said. Drones were being procured with the help of Survey of India.
