Minister asks Collectors to disburse LA, R&R money sanctioned to displaced families on war-footing
The Telangana government is urging District Collectors to expedite the disbursement of land acquisition and rehabilitation funds to displaced families. Officials aim to remove administrative bottlenecks to ensure that sanctioned money reaches beneficiaries immediately.
Why it matters
Efficient fund distribution is critical for the timely completion of irrigation projects and the welfare of displaced farmers.
The State Government has launched a drive to remove bottlenecks in land acquisition and rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) measures holding back the progress of ongoing irrigation projects by asking the District Collectors to release funds sanctioned already on a war-footing so that they could reach farmers and displaced families within a couple of days, wherever documentation is complete.
Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy gave instructions on Friday through a video conference held with the District Collectors, Chief Engineers and senior officials. He stated that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy was firm on addressing issues coming in the way of land acquisition, R&R, forest payments and other related requirements, to speed up implementation of the irrigation projects.
