The Story in Brief
Revenue Secretary DS Lokesh Kumar has said the ongoing land re-survey in Telangana will correct every mistake in land records and be completed by March 2027. Speaking to The Hans India, he said encroachments on private property will be detected and boundaries fixed using precise latitudes and longitudes.
Telangana spans 1,12,077 sq km (roughly 276.95 lakh acres), of which 25 lakh acres are assigned lands, 66 lakh acres forest, and 13-14 lakh acres under government use. About 65,000 acres remain disputed. The re-survey is complete in 35 villages, with pilot surveys starting in almost all mandals. Farmers will get unique 'Bhudhaar' identification numbers for each land parcel.
The Indian Opinion
Official promises of error-free records and a March 2027 deadline sound reassuring, but Telangana has seen ambitious land surveys before. The buzz about 'Bhudhaar' numbers and satellite fixes raises hopes of ending the decades-old mess over assigned, forest, and government lands. Yet with 65,000 acres under dispute and re-survey complete in only 35 villages so far, the real test will be whether the pace picks up across all mandals without fresh court challenges or bureaucratic logjams.
