Congress MLA T Jagga Reddy today urged Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to restore the old land registration process in the state so that the registration of non-agricultural lands could be started at the earliest.
Noting that the CM was yet to take a call on the issue, he said that the people of the state were suffering financially due to the delays in the commencement of the registration services, and asked KCR to start the registration process as soon as possible.
The MLA also asked the state government to modify its Land Regulation Scheme (LRS), claiming that the scheme was only increasing the economic burden of the people who were already suffering due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
"A person who had bought a plot for Rs 3 lakh is now forced to pay same amount towards the application of the LRS. The people of Telangana are in no position to pay such huge sums of money. The government must re-examine the scheme to ensure that it does not burden the people," he said.
Reddy suggested that the government collect only Rs 10,000 from the LRS applicants, and regularise their properties in a timely fashion.
The Congress leader has been quite vocal about his disapproval of the new land registration system which has been marred by endless complications, and had
lashed out at the TRS government for the delays in the process even some days back .
