A delegation of 1,200 farmers from Narayanapuram village of Kesamudram mandal in Mahabubabad district submitted a representation in the office of Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) here on Monday requesting issuance of pattadar passbooks for 1,827 acres of forest land under their enjoyment for which the Forest Department too had given no-objection certificate (NOC).
In the representation, the farmers led by MPTC member Dharavath Ravi explained that the Forest Department had issued NOC for 1,827 acres of land and even the enjoyment survey was conducted by the authorities. However, the details are yet to be included in the Dharani portal. Lack of record of rights was denying them the government benefits such as Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, PM-Kisan and others and so far they have lost ₹12 crore of monetary benefit.
Of the 1,827 acres spread in 43 survey numbers, enjoyment survey was conducted for 222 acres of patta lands in 21 survey numbers in January 2021. After the Forest Department NOC was given for 1,403 acres on February 9, 2021, another enjoyment survey was conducted in June last year following the Chief Minister’s directions.
