Govt to turn focus on Gokul land in Miyapur HYDERABAD: The State government is about to resume unused and illegally entrusted lands in the city. The Telangana government has already acted upon three pieces of land and the next target is Gokul land in Miyapur and ENT land.
When the government resumed land allotted to APNGOs, its president P Ashok Babu alleged that TRS government was being vindictive.
Officials, however, deny this. They say the policy to resume unused lands and remove encroachments was taken by Kiran Kumar Reddy government in the united AP.
Then the AP Land Management Authority was constituted with CCLA commissioner as its chairman. The APMLA was given power to take action on lands. After the division of the state, the Land Management Authority too was split as Telangana State Land Management Authority and APLMA.
'The TSLMA will identify the lands unused or encroached. It will take a decision on those lands. Then, the district collector concerned will put up a file. The file will come to the Revenue Department, which will ratify the same,' an official in the Revenue Department explained.
The government has identified around 10,000 acres in and around Hyderabad. But several lands were in legal tangles, like in the case of ENT land. The TSLMA will act on those lands, which were not trapped in court cases. Kiran Kumar Reddy too took back several lands allotted by YSR government.
