Hyderabad: The Telangana government, in the beginning, will take up regularisation of 125 square yard lands on which houses exist.
A decision on regularisation of lands measuring 500 square yards, 1,000 square yards and even more would be taken later since the government itself lacks clarity over what to do if someone has a small room on such lands leaving the rest vacant.
The government is concerned that encroachers may misuse the regularisation facility by building single rooms on big plots only to get it regularised, as the TS government has decided to regularise encroached lands, while vacant lands won’t be considered for the regularisation process.
Initially, the government had given powers to the RDOs to take a decision on lands over 500 square yards.
However, the RDOs fear that they may land in legal troubles in future and made it clear to the government that they will not take the responsibility unless the government gives a clarity on regularisation of bigger plots.
With this, the government has decided to put regularisation of such bigger plots on hold till a final decision is taken.
However, applications for these bigger lands will be accepted. From January 5 to January 19, the applications will be received. A unique ID will be given to each applicant.
The applicants need to submit their ID proofs such as Aadhaar, ration card, driving licence, power bill, property tax, water bill, bank pass book, passport etc. to prove that they are residing at the particular address.
