Dharani transactions under fast-track scrutiny, illegal land transfers won’t be spared: Ponguleti

The State government would take stringent action against those who had allegedly misused the erstwhile Dharani portal to illegally secure lands, Minister for Revenue Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy said on Saturday. He also announced that the government would soon unveil a comprehensive policy on assigned lands.

Addressing a press conference at the State Secretariat, Mr. Reddy said all land transactions carried out under the previous Dharani portal and subsequently migrated to the Bhu Bharati system were being examined through a fast-track process. He alleged that large-scale irregularities, including illegal mutations and unauthorised transfers of government land, had taken place during the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government’s tenure.

Mr. Reddy said the government was conducting a detailed inquiry into the prohibited land list adding that allegations made by Opposition parties were also being examined impartially.
