Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced that the new ROR (Record of Rights) Act, known as ‘Bhu Bharati’, will soon come into effect to improve revenue department services in Telangana.
Speaking at the launch of the annual diaries of the Telangana Tahsildars Association (TGTA) and the Telangana Revenue Services Association (TGRSA) on Thursday, the CM emphasised that the initiative aims to resolve land disputes and improve transparency in revenue administration.
Highlighting the shortcomings of the Dharani Portal, Revanth said that Bhu Bharati is designed to provide quick, efficient services to farmers and the public and address the issues created by the earlier system.
“The new law will ensure that land problems are resolved at the district level and will decentralise powers to improve service delivery,” he said.
The CM reminded revenue officers of their expanded powers and responsibilities under the new system. He urged them to effectively implement the new law, which includes provisions for the appointment of a revenue officer in all villages. This decentralized approach aims to make revenue services accessible at the field level providing immediate relief.
Telangana Employees Joint Action Committee Chairman V. Lachi Reddy raised concerns about the transfer of tahsildars during elections, stating that many have not been reassigned to their home districts, causing difficulties. Responding positively, the CM assured that the transfer process would be speeded up.
The event was attended by key officials, including Deputy Collectors Association General Secretary K. Ramakrishna, Telangana Tahsildars Association representatives S. Ramulu and Ramesh Pak, and the Telangana Revenue Services Association President Banala Ram Reddy.
The CM concluded by reaffirming the government’s commitment to enhancing transparency in revenue administration, ensuring that Telangana’s land-related issues are resolved promptly under the new framework.
