Naidu Orders Resolution of Pending House Regularisation Cases

Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to resolve long-pending house and house-site regularisation issues across Andhra Pradesh, stating that delays persisting for years must be brought to an end.

Reviewing the performance of various departments at the RTGS Centre on Tuesday, the Chief Minister instructed district collectors to prepare comprehensive lists of pending applications and dispose of them at the district level wherever possible. Cases requiring higher-level intervention should be placed before the State Cabinet for a final decision, he said.

Naidu noted that many regularisation applications remained pending due to procedural delays and directed officials to place all non-disputed cases before every Cabinet meeting to expedite approvals. He also asked the Housing and Finance departments to coordinate and clear pending bills in the Housing Department.

The Chief Minister ordered stringent action against illegal sand mining and transportation. He said sand excavated in Andhra Pradesh should not be transported to other states and directed authorities to seize vehicles involved in illegal transport across state borders. Stressing the use of technology, he called for GPS-based monitoring of sand-laden vehicles and an alert system to detect violations. He noted that around 50,000 vehicles are already under GPS surveillance and asked the Mining and Police departments to work in close coordination.

Expressing concern over the suicide of the Rajavommangi CDPO, Naidu ordered strict action against those responsible and said workplace harassment would not be tolerated. He also emphasised the need to increase public awareness of government welfare and development programmes.

Minister for Housing and I&PR Kolusu Parthasarathi, Chief Secretary G. Sai Prasad and senior officials attended the review meeting.
