16 Oct 2020 | 175 Views

The State Legislative Assembly announced the Land Conversion Bill-2020 to simplify the process of converting agricultural lands to non-agricultural. Land Conversion Bill 2020 The Assembly passed the Telangana Agricultural Land Conversion Bill-2020 for Non-Agricultural Purposes on October 13. Under section 47(A) of the current Act, the bill strips away the powers of revenue officials. Introducing the bill, Vemula Prashanth Reddy, Minister of Legislative Affairs, said the amendments were planned to make the administration transparent and avoid irregularities. The government has only earned Rs 263 crore since 2016 due to undervaluation by revenue officials. With the new law, people may apply for conversion of their agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes through a Dharani portal. The amendments would ensure better coordination in the identification of agricultural land used for non-agricultural purposes between the panchayat raj, municipal administration, and revenue departments. After citizens book a slot on the Dharani website, the applicant will be contacted by the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned and will complete the whole process, including land conversion, online entry, and issuance of a temporary e-passbook enabling land use for non-agricultural purposes. A permanent passbook will be delivered by mail to the applicant's residence.

15 Oct 2020 | 153 Views

The state government initiated GHMC Amendment Bill, 2020 to ensure the development of Hyderabad as a world-class city. Proposed GHMC Amendment Bill 2020 On 13th Oct, in the State Legislative Assembly, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao made the announcement introducing the GHMC (Amendment) Bill, 2020. In addition to creating it as a mark of Telangana's self-respect, the state government will come up with a new Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Act to promote the growth of Hyderabad into an international destination for all. The State Assembly passed the Bill, making the GHMC Council a 50 percent quota for women compulsory. Although the state government had previously issued orders in this regard and provided 50 percent reservation during the previous elections for women in the GHMC Council, the new Bill gives it authenticity. The Bill adds four further changes to the GHMC Act, including allocation of 10 percent to the Green Budget from the GHMC budget. To ensure flexibility and transparency, the Bill also provides for provisions to address reservations for two terms within the local body. In the Panchayat Raj Act and the Municipal Act, a comparable provision was made. The Bill allows the State Election Commission, in another major amendment, to make its decision on the conduct of GHMC elections only in consultation with the state government. The main objective behind bringing this amendment is to consider all issues such as natural disasters (heavy rains and floods), staff availability, law and order, and other issues before carrying out GHMC elections. Additional amendments have been proposed to facilitate the involvement of people in municipal governance in the GHMC area by creating four Citizens Committees for each division, including youth, senior citizens, women and eminent citizens. All these committees together will form a powerful force of 15,000 people who can be active in growing green coverage, solid waste management, the prevention of public property encroachment, the rejection of plastic use, the promotion of sports and other events in the respective divisions.

Dharani Portal Denied to Accept Enlisting of Non- Agricultural Properties in TSIIC

Dharani Portal Denied to Accept Enlisting of Properties in TSIIC

15 Oct 2020 | 2052 Views

The State Government uploading information of non-agricultural properties to the Dharani portal is progressing at a slow pace due to some technical problems. Technical Glitches in Dharani Portal Most of the non-agricultural properties located under TSIIC (Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation) are found in Gachibowli, Manikonda and Patancheruvu areas. Property owners made several attempts to enlist the non-agricultural properties in Dharani Portal, but the system refused to accept alphanumeric property tax identification number, allotted to this area. Although several properties located near the industrial area of Jeedimetla fall under TSIIC, GHMC generates property tax. Authorities are requested to fix the issue immediately and deploy staffers to assist property owners as many residents are facing problems about the enrolment of property. Dharani Survey The state government survey to collect property details is also impacted by uncooperative respondents. The residents in the city are refusing to give out their details for the survey as they are worried that the survey will make them ineligible for welfare schemes, including food security cards and pensions since they have a property under their names. Officials from the Municipal Administration Department stated that 50 percent of the survey was completed. Despite the online portal supporting only 15 to 30 entries per day, surveyors in the districts are asked to cover at least 50 to 70 houses per day. Officials have written down property descriptions on sheets of paper on many occasions. Once the server is functional, they enter the information into the Dharani portal. The government would look into the issues on the dharani portal to facilitate and address all ownership rights. By: Shailaja K

On 12th Oct the water level in the Himayat Sagar reservoir was 1,762 feet compared to the Full Reservoir Level of 1,763 feet after receiving 1,666 inflows. The inflows into the Himayat Sagar are continuously tracked by officials of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB). With heavy rains expected over the next three days, officials said the decision would be taken to release water based on additional inflows into the reservoir. Revenue, police and municipal officials have already been put on alert following steady inflows into the reservoir.

As HMWSSB officials report that there will be no drinking water problems for the next summer and beyond, the reservoirs are getting steady inflows, and this sets up well for Hyderabad. HMWSSB supplies approximately 440 Million Gallons a day (MGD) to the city. The Krishna River provides these supplies with 270 MGD and the Godavari River with 172 MGD. Nagarjuna Sagar's full reservoir level (FRL) is 590 feet, while 588.88 feet is the current level. Srisailam's FRL is 885 feet, and 884.5 ft is the existing floor.
