Telangana deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka tells officials to speed up LRS process; panel focuses on sand mining, pollution issues
HYDERABAD: The resource mobilisation committee comprising ministers and headed by deputy chief minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Monday directed officials to speed up approval of Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) applications to raise revenue.
Officials suggested that revising (increasing) the basic land value in sub-registrar offices may encourage more applicants to come forward to pay under LRS.
The meeting attended by members N Uttam Kumar Reddy and D Sridhar Babu also reviewed initiatives aimed at enabling tribals to operate sand quarries directly in agency areas without any middlemen. The deputy CM instructed officials to explore ways to enhance revenue without imposing any additional tax burden on the public.
He also directed the chief secretary to conduct daily reviews of decisions by the revenue resource mobilisation sub-committee.
The committee also reviewed relocation of pollution-causing industries outside the Outer Ring Road (ORR) limits.
Progress under the one-time settlement scheme in mines and geology department was also reviewed.
In view of the construction of Indiramma houses, Bhatti emphasised that essential construction materials such as cement, steel, bricks and sand must be made readily available to scheme beneficiaries. He directed that price fixation committees be formed at each mandal.
