CM outlines steps to nail land-grabbers

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, SEPT. 20. An officer of the rank of Superintendent of Police will be attached to the Collectorates of Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy exclusively to control the activities of land- grabbers and encroachers. A special task force will also be created to deal with such encroachers.

These decisions were taken at a review meeting presided over by the Chief Minister, Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, at his chambers in the Assembly today. He discussed with top officials the steps to be taken to protect vacant lands in the twin cities and in Ranga Reddy district.

He instructed officials to identify all vacant lands belonging to the Government, private institutions and tanks and directed them to computerise the particulars.

To prevent gullible public from purchasing lands under litigation, the officials were told to place all particulars on the Internet and to issue advertisements in local newspapers to educate the public, according to an official press note.

The meeting was attended by Messrs. P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Revenue Minister, Dr. P.K. Mohanty, MCH Commissioner, Ms. Lakshmi Parthasarathy, HUDA Managing Director, P. Ramulu, Police Commissioner, Rajeshwar Tiwari, Hyderabad Collector, and Ajay Jain, Ranga Reddy Collector.
