Telangana government to pay twice the registration cost as compensation for land

Hyderabad: The city will witness the demolition of about 3,000 properties, with the state government setting a December 31 deadline to the GHMC to acquire and demolish properties obstructing the widening of roads and junctions.

“Due to this, the traffic jams have become an everyday affair on these stretches and unless a time-bound action plan is taken up to acquire and demolish properties, widening of these roads to resolve this problem cannot be solved,” he said.

The source added, “The special teams will meet property owners, issue acquisition notices, hold negotiations to convince them for demolition.

“The notices will be issued as per TS Land Acquisition Act, 2017.”

The government will pay twice the registration cost as compensation for land. In case of buildings, land cost and construction cost will be paid as per existing market rates, he said.

The ‘corridor improvement plan’ works will be launched in Saidabad, Balapur, Gudimalkapur, Uppal, Hussaini Alam, Rakshapuram and Bahadurpura.

As many as 34 special teams have been constituted to take up the widening of the roads on the 34 roads and junctions.
