December 15, 2017

Mysuru: Maintaining that Deputy Commissioners (DCs) have been entrusted with powers to allot 20 acres of land for distribution of sites to the shelterless, Revenue Minister Kagodu Thimmappa has directed TP Executive  Officers and GP PDO’s to prepare a list of the shelterless in their respective jurisdiction.

Chairing a review  meeting of district-level officials of the Revenue Department at the Government Guest House here on Thursday, Thimmappa said that the functioning of a section of revenue officials was not satisfactory.

“The Village Accountants and Panchayat Development Officers (PDO’s) should jointly survey each and every village under their jurisdiction and list the houses constructed on government lands. Land records should be issued to even those who have not applied”, he said.

Noting that there was a delay in the implementation of Government Orders at the official-level, the Minister warned of action against those officials who are yet to dispose off applications pertaining to land records that have remained pending for long.

Pointing out that the disposal of applications will take place under the Chairmanship of the MLAs concerned at the Taluk-level, Thimmappa said that Tahsildars should convene meetings of Bagair Hukum Committee every week.

Stating that Feb. 4 is the last date for regularisation of houses constructed on government lands, he said that rural people can apply for regularisation of houses under Column 94C and people in urban areas under Column 94CC of the Land Reforms Act.

The Minister directed the officials to dispose all pending applications by farmers who have been tilling Bagair Hukum lands before Mar. 2018.
