Telangana CM Revanth Reddy directs officials to resolve Dharani portal grievances by August 15, explore incorporating new options in Dharani portal,
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed the officials of the Revenue department to resolve the pending applications pertaining to grievances arising out of the Dharani portal by August 15.
The officials received more than 2.43 lakh grievances relating to Dharani portal and some of them have been resolved in the past few months amid complaints that the applications are being rejected for the sake of rejection. Keeping this in mind, the Chief Minister made clear that in the event of rejection of the applications, the officials should explain the reasons behind their rejection so that people are convinced.
The directions assume significance in the light of complaints that there is no scope for appeal for the landowners facing problems since the inception of Dharani portal. The instructions are expected to go a long way in ensuring that there is a window for landowners to know about the status of their complaints, if any.
The Chief Minister gave the directions during the collectors conference which started in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The conference is likely to continue till 6 pm as the Chief Minister is keen to discuss several issues pending at the district and mandal levels in the process of taking governance closer to the people.
Enquiring about the status of pending Dharani applications, he suggested that officials could explore incorporating new options in the portal for resolving technical issues. They should also examine the possibility of geo-tagging the Government lands so that there was no scope for encroachments on them.
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has sought a report from the State government on a complaint that the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) had taken up works amounting to ₹387 crore in violation of rules in Varuna and Srirangapatna Assembly constituencies, allegedly on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s oral instructions.
“We are organising a health research convention, which comprises a couple of workshops, community-based learning, and also cardiac care. We also included a one-day seminar on medical education, how medical education has evolved in India and the U.K., and what we can learn from each other” said Dr. Piruthivi Sukumar Dean of the International Faculty of Medicine & Health, University of Leeds during his interaction with The Hindu.
