CM KCR directs officials to distribute Rythu Bandhu cheques till June 2

Distribution of pattadar passbooks and Rythu Bandhu cheques are yet to be completed in various districts despite the May 20 deadline being over. Expressing his unhappiness, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has directed officials to complete it by June 2.

“For some reasons or other, including non-linkage of Aadhaar, passbooks and cheques were not distributed in some places. It may also be a fact that a few of the revenue officials were irresponsible to some extent. It has also come to the notice of the state government that at some places,



albeit very few, the rectification of land records were not properly handled,” KCR said.

“By the time the new registration policy comes into effect i.e. on June 2, 2018, every farmer should get new pattadar passbooks and all the land records shall be updated,” he added.

The chief minister, who reviewed distribution of passbooks and cheques on Tuesday, will hold another meeting with ministers and collectors on May 23 to take stock of the progress of the programme.
