HYDERABAD: Chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Wednesday expressed unhappiness over mistakes that have appeared in some new pattadar passbooks and directed officials to rectify them.
He said incomplete information had been found in a few cases despite the land records purification and rectification process being done in 100 days.
At a meeting of district collectors at Pragathi Bhavan on the Rythu Bandhu scheme in the city, he said technical faults or human error would inconvenience farmers who were yet to receive their passbooks.
"Considering that it is a gigantic task, there may be some possibility of mistakes having crept in, but this should be taken as a challenge and officials should work for accuracy," he said.
KCR said if the errors were being introduced deliberately, action should be taken against the guilty officials.
He said since the new registration policy will come into effect with the Dharani website, there should be accuracy in land records. The chief minister said they should take the responsibility of distribution of 100% pass books and Rythu bandhu cheques.
"There need to be a special policy for issue of passbooks and cheques to NRIs who are unable to come to India personally," he said. He also said the passbooks and cheques pertaining to those who are not coming forward to link their Aadhaar cards should not be distributed. KCR said the government would pay premium for the insurance of farmers and in the event of a death, the family gets 5 lakh from LIC.
