Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri K. Chandrashekar Rao’s official visit to Kumuram Bheem Asifabad District on Friday.
CM formally launches Podu Land Pattas Distribution in Kumuram Bheem Asifabad District:
The long cherished dream of the Tribals to own the Podu Lands is fulfilled today. Chief Minister Sri K Chandrashekar Rao launched the podu land pattas distribution programme amid a big gathering of the tribal community in the district. CM announced the pattas are being given in the name of women from the beneficiary families. The officials concerned have been asked to withdraw cases booked against the tribals on podu land ownership issues.
CM handed over the pattas to 12 beneficiaries:
Karpeta Vimalabai couple from Chirrakunta village panchayat, Asifabad mandal, Kati Anyabai couple from Jodeghat village panchayat, Kerameri mandal, Kumra Mankubai couple from Pangidi village panchayat, Sirpur (Urban) mandal, Edula Elkala couple from Edulapadu village panchayat, Tiryani mandal, Patagoo from Wankidi mandal Katle of Da Gram Panchayat Bhagiratha couple, Vanitha Magade couple from Patnapur Gram Panchayat, Jainur mandal, Madhavilakshmi couple from Ankushapur Gram Panchayat, Kagaj Nagar mandal, Madhavikallubai couple, Surpam Sunita couple, Surpam Anasuya couple from Malini Gram Panchayat, Kagaj Nagar mandal, Kagaj Nagar NGOs Colony Takem Janu couple and Rambhai couple.
During the distribution of pattas, CM showed the pass books to the beneficiary and asked whether she knew Patta. With a smile, she replied- “Yes, she knows the land patta and the details”. CM asked again, “Do you know that it is in your name?” She thanked the CM.
Speaking on the occasion during the pattas distribution program, the CM said that the state government is providing free electricity to the farmers across the state and ordered the officials to supply 3 phase power to Girijana lands also. Under Giri Vikasam, bore wells will be installed in the podu lands and provide power supply. The officials deserved big applause for working hard and competing with each other to implement the development programmes. The government employees participated in Sakala Janula Strike during the Telangana Struggle and the state stood number one due to the sacrifices and hard work of all employees.
CM said that a medical college has been sanctioned for Asifabad and described it as the success of the people and the commitment of the authorities.
In the past, tribals suffered from fatal fevers during the rainy season. Now, people are living safely in tribal habitations. WHO reports also praised Telangana for the last two or three years. For the last 35 years, people struggled for power. During Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy’s regime in the erstwhile AP, there was no electricity for four days and everyone witnessed such situations. Today, the Telangana government is supplying electricity to all communities. We will achieve more miracles in the coming days.
