The impasse over distribution of pattas of podu lands to tribals will end soon.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has announced that distribution of pattas to tribals will be taken up for a week from June 24. Officials concerned are directed to prepare the list of tribals who receive the pattas during the week-long drive to ensure that they receive the investment support offered under Rythu Bandhu. The benefit would be extended to tribals other than those receiving Rythu Bandhu as part of the ROFR Act.
The Chief Minister who held a detailed review meeting with senior officials on Tuesday directed them to take steps to open bank accounts in this direction to ensure that the assured amounts were directly credited to the accounts of tribal farmers cultivating podu lands.
