- The government made a huge mistake
- But farmers and developers are undergoing punishment
- No end to ‘Dharani’ problems!
- Developers face new challenges after paying crores of rupees for land
A farmer Ramaiah from Kollur, owns 20 acres of land that he inherited from his ancestors. Recently, he sold 10 acres to one Srilatha. The officials also issued a passbook after the land registration. But her name is missing from the land records of the Dharani website. As a result, the developers, who bought the land based on the pass book, are now running from pillar to post.
People have no role in natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. The Coronavirus too entered this country, from other countries. But the Dharani issues were created by our own people. Farm land owners as well as those who purchased from them, are both suffering due to the callousness of the officials in addressing the mistakes committed by the government. If there is a court case pending related to a small piece of land in a survey number, the entire survey number is being categorized and blocked under the legal disputes category. As a result, both developers as well as revenue officials are forced to visit the courts unnecessarily.
Even if all the records pertaining to the land were kept in order and repeated requests were made to the Joint Collectors or to the Additional Collectors, there is no visible progress. Most of these unnecessary disputes are being attributed to the involvement of local politicians.
