00:00The state government has announced that 1,45,000 acres of land has been acquired.
00:07RPC Sodia, who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Revenue Department, is here to talk to us about the land acquisition.
00:14Sir, how many acres have been acquired?
00:17What has the Chief Minister told you?
00:20The state government has announced that 9,00,000 acres of land has been acquired.
00:28After the acquisition of 9,00,000 acres of land, anyone can buy or sell the land.
00:33Until now, the Registration Department has prohibited the acquisition of 9,00,000 acres of land.
00:41Today, the land has become freehold.
00:4425,000 acres of land has already been registered under someone else's name.
00:50We are still asking how many GPLs have been registered.
00:55One GPL has been registered.
00:57Another GPL has almost been registered.
00:59Because he has all the powers, he can sell the land anytime.
01:03There was an incident in Madanapalli.
01:05There were allegations that the land was seized for the land acquisition.
01:09You also went to the Kshetra Sthayam.
01:12What did you observe there?
01:14On Sunday 21st, there was a fire accident between 10.50 and 11.30.
01:23Until 10.50, there was a senior assistant named Gautam in the office.
01:28He worked till 10.50.
01:30Until then, there was no fire.
01:32He woke up at 11.30.
01:34He woke up and heard a loud sound.
01:40He went outside and tried to call the watchman next to him.
01:44Finally, he called his immediate superior, Deputy Tehsildar.
01:52Within 17 minutes, the fire tender came.
01:55Within 17 minutes, 2440 files were burnt.
01:59Did it happen due to short circuit?
02:01Did it happen due to chemical accident?
02:03What is your opinion?
02:04If it is a short circuit, there is no possibility of it happening.
02:08The Director of Electrical Safety came and enquired about it.
02:12He confirmed that it is not a short circuit.
02:14I saw and read the report.
02:17I am fully convinced that it is not a short circuit.
02:20Some people think that there was an accident.
02:23But, it does not look like an accident.
02:25That is why I feel that it was done on purpose.
02:29There could have been a lot of damage to the burnt files.
02:34That is my opinion.
02:36Murli, the former RDO, worked there for two and a half years.
02:41He came on the same day and met Gautam.
02:44Gautam was there till 10.50 that night.
02:49It was an abnormal time.
02:50No one was there in the office till 10.50.
02:52Even after he left, there was a fire accident within half an hour.
02:57We tried our best to burn the files.
03:02But, the files did not burn.
03:03If there was no petrol, diesel, kerosene or oil,
03:07the files would have been thick.
03:10There would have been no oxygen inside.
03:12Sometimes, it would have stopped.
03:14Sometimes, it is difficult to burn the files.
03:18Our preliminary conclusion is that it was an arson.
03:22Who did you blame?
03:23What are you going to do next?
03:25Murli, the former RDO,
03:30Hari Prasad and Gautam,
03:35were suspended.
03:37The police is investigating with a lot of people.
03:40Madhav Reddy and Tukaram.
03:42They were very close to Murli.
03:46They used to meet every week.
03:48They used to meet in the office.
03:50The files were moving a lot.
03:52Madhav Reddy was absent due to the involvement of the police.
03:58Ramachandra Reddy's PA was also investigated.
04:04The CID is doing a good job.
04:07If the FSL report comes,
04:09if the investigation is completed,
04:12the truth will come out soon.
04:14In the last 5 years,
04:16there have been many incidents like this.
04:19What are you going to do to secure the files or the office?
04:24Today, the CM and the Chief Minister gave orders.
04:30You should conduct an energy audit in every office.
04:33There should not be any loose wires or short circuits.
04:38There are instructions on how to maintain the record room.
04:42There should be no power in the office.
04:45There should be 100% fire fighting equipment.
04:49There should be record rooms.
04:53We have given orders to the revenue offices to safeguard the areas.
05:00There should be no backup.
05:02There should be records.
05:04There should be no physical records.
05:06There should be no microfilming.
05:09There should be no scanning.
05:13It will be difficult if the important revenue records are lost.
05:17What are you going to do about the survey rods and passbooks?
05:25We will replace all the passbooks.
05:28There will be only the logo of the government head.
05:31There will be the name of the head of the state.
05:34There will be the land details of the head.
05:36There will be no political symbols on the passbooks.
05:40The land details given by the government will look like the government's.
05:45When you went to the Madanapalli sub-collector's office,
05:48you received hundreds of applications from the public.
05:51What kind of applications did you receive?
05:53Will you try to get them registered?
05:55I have computerized all the applications.
05:59I have received 482 applications.
06:07Land grabbing, 171 cases.
06:10Land encroachment, 55 cases.
06:12Section 22A, 23 petitions.
06:15ROR petitions, 127.
06:18Court cases, 15.
06:19Land acquisition, 20.
06:21Land dispute, 52.
06:23I have received 19 applications.
06:28There is a possibility of getting complaints from the public.
06:32What are you going to do about the survey rods and passbooks?
06:39The Chief Minister of Government has given orders to all of us.
06:45You have to build up awareness among the public.
06:49When the white paper was released,
06:51it was said that those who have a problem can call the toll-free number.
06:58We asked for a separate toll-free number.
07:01If we give a separate toll-free number,
07:03land related problems will be solved.
07:05Secondly, we have to build up awareness.
07:08We have to face the public.
07:12Our plan is to go to one place every 10 days.
07:17If we have a lot of problems,
07:20we can publish it next month or next week.
07:25If we want, we can go to Visakhapatnam for two days.
07:28All the officers, especially those who work for us,
07:33CCLA, Commissioner Survey and IG Registration.
07:37These three are the top officials.
07:39I will go with them.
07:41I will give notice in advance.
07:43We will inform the public in advance.
07:46We will fix a place.
07:48We will fix a time.
07:49We will sit there and take all the documents.
07:53We will computerize it.
07:55We will review it with the consent officers every week.
07:58We will solve all the problems.
08:00This is our action plan.
08:16Thank you.
