This highlights ongoing urban land tenure issues and the political pressure on local governments to provide housing security for marginalized populations.
The CPI(M) staged a protest before the District Collectorate on Monday demanding house pattas, house sites and registration of existing pattas for poor families in Indira Gandhi Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Adarsh Nagar and Sundar Nagar.
CPI(M) leader R.K.S.V. Kumar said residents who had built houses in the colonies for over 30 years were being denied pattas citing gedda and forest land. He demanded pattas under G.O. No. 30 and registration under G.O. Nos. 296 and 388.
District committee member V. Narendra Kumar sought registration of pattas of those who had already paid money, correction of house measurements and removal of forest-related objections. He also demanded that survey No. 111 be removed and survey No. 108 included in pattas.
