The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to send special teams to capital city villages to complete plot registrations under the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS). Delays in registration are hindering development by the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) in Amaravati. The CRDA registered about 43,000 of the total 64,000 plots, with around 21,067 plots still pending. The government aims to finish registrations quickly to grant farmers their promised rights and move forward with infrastructure projects. The government believes that such delays in the plot registration process are causing more legal issues for the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA).
The state government has announced plans to deploy special teams to villages in the capital city of Amaravati to expedite the registration of plots under the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS). This move comes in response to delays in the registration process, which are causing legal issues and hindering development work by the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA).
The government has already authorized the CRDA to begin various development projects in Amaravati to make the city more visible. However, the CRDA has reported that approximately 33% of the farmers who provided their land for Amaravati have not yet had their plots registered. Out of the total 64,000 plots allocated under the LPS, only about 43,000 have been registered so far.
The delay in registrations has slowed down the pace of development, even with the new TDP-led NDA government in place. Currently, around 21,067 plots are still awaiting registration. A senior official stated, "We will deploy special teams to meet with farmers and ensure the prompt completion of the registration process to avoid further legal complications."
Completing the registration process is crucial for farmers as it ensures they receive the benefits promised by the LPS scheme. Many registrations have been stalled due to court cases among family members, and officials are working to resolve these issues and finish the registrations where possible. The CRDA's legal team believes that the authority cannot fully take control of the land until the registration process is completed. The government is eager to start various projects and allocate land to both government and private firms, making it imperative to close out the registration process for the farmers' plots.
Registration activity showed a significant decline recently. For example, while 36 plots were registered in March, only 16 were registered in April, and 18 in May. The numbers dropped further in June and July, with only six and eight plots registered, respectively.
