Kurnool: A video of a woman's confrontation with a village revenue officer (VRO) from Gonegandla mandal in Kurnool district has gone viral on social media.
The video shows the woman getting angry at the local tehsil office over incorrect ownership details of her land on the government website. She then slaps the VRO, identified as Venugopala Rao.
The woman had been accompanied by her husband, who is a former sarpanch.
It is alleged that the VRO had wrongly transferred the ownership rights of the woman’s two-acre land parcel to others. The beneficiary of the error took advantage by going to court asserting his right over the land, leading to complications for the woman's family.
Husband of the woman, however, defended her action. He said despite the situation being grave, there has been lack of action from revenue officials in the mandal. He said the local tahsildar had also delayed deleting pf the land from disputed category. This is not letting the family gain access to government welfare programmes and seeking financial assistance from banks.
