‘80,000 petitions received on land disputes’

Minister for BC and EWS Welfare, S Savitha, stated that 1.70 lakh petitions have been received from the public in the last five months, with over 80,000 relating to land disputes.
The Minister, accompanied by MLA Varadarajula Reddy, participated in the Revenue Sadassu held at Dorasanipalli village in the Proddatur constituency on Monday. She personally received petitions from the public during the programme.
Savitha explained that the government is organising these Revenue Sadassus to address the land disputes of the people and assured that efforts would be made to resolve the issues within 45 days. She also instructed officials and employees to treat the public with respect and refrain from any harsh behaviour when they approach the authorities with their grievances.
Highlighting the government’s focus on both welfare and development, Savitha said that parallel efforts are being made in the state. “Construction of CC roads and drainage systems is underway in rural areas across the state, while Anna canteens have been reopened. The free sand policy is being implemented smoothly,” she added, also noting that the controversial Land Titling Act had been revoked by the new government.
The Minister further mentioned that a High Court bench will be established in Kurnool, and significant investments are coming to the state. “Rs 20,000 crore in investments are being brought in as industrialists show interest in setting up industries in Andhra Pradesh,” Savitha noted.
She also promised to restore the past glory of the textile industry in the state, announcing a new textile policy with Rs 10,000 crore in investments. A textile park will be established in Mylavaram, she revealed. Joint Collector Adithi Singh, RDO Aadya, and former MLA Linga Reddy were also present at the event.
