The Telangana government has constituted a three-member high-level committee to examine and resolve pending cases of properties listed under Section 22A of the Registration Act within a fixed 30-day timeframe. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced the decision in the assembly on September 18, saying the government identified 12 categories of issues related to the prohibited list and was committed to resolving them. The committee will be headed by CCLA commissioner Lokesh Kumar, with law secretary B Papi Reddy and special secretary Raeevgandhi Hanumanthu as members. The Times of India reports the government will also issue a special GO for properties that secured approvals from GHMC, HMDA and other authorities but could not be registered after being brought under the 22A list. The News Minute adds that the move follows Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's promise in the assembly and is part of a 12-point action plan on land matters. In the LB Nagar area, nearly 9,800 applications have been submitted for relief, and regularisation is scheduled to begin on September 19. The opposition BRS has accused the government of failing to fix these issues for personal monetary gain, a charge the government denies.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The Times of India frames the announcement as a relief measure for property owners, leading with the minister's promise and citing the chief minister's earlier commitment. The News Minute provides more context, reporting the opposition BRS's accusation of government inaction and the claim of monetary gain, which the Times omits entirely. It also details the 12-point programme and separate issues like the Singareni coal belt. The differing coverage suggests the Times is closer to the government's account, while The News Minute offers a fuller, more critical picture. The coming weeks will show whether the 30-day deadline is met and how many of the 9,800 LB Nagar applicants actually get relief.
