As expected, the Congress government has sought a comprehensive report on the functioning of Dharani portal, billed as a one-stop portal for land related transactions across Telangana.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy gave the instructions to Chief Secretary A. Santhi Kumari during a review meeting on Dharani portal on Wednesday. The Chief Minister is learnt to have evinced keen interest in understanding the functioning of the portal, which attracted criticism from political parties and land owners alike for the lapses in its design. The then Opposition parties went on to criticise that the lands were being alienated in favour of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders in the name of Dharani.
The Chief Minister had accordingly decided to appoint a high-level committee to evolve guidelines for permanent resolution of long pending land disputes across the State. The committee had been told to suggest measures to permanently resolve the complaints that were being raised by the landowners since the inception of Dharani.
