Registration of non-agricultural properties to begin on Nov 23

Registration of non-agriculture properties through Dharani, the unique one-stop portal for all matters pertaining to land transactions and management, will commence from November 23.

Announcing the decision here on Sunday, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, as part of his efforts to alleviate people’s sufferings on account of Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath, also announced release of Rs 120 crore to the Telangana State Road Transportion Corporation (TSRTC) towards payment of two months salaries of employees that were deferred during the lockdown period.

Besides directing the Finance department to immediately release the funds, Chandrashekhar Rao also instructed the TSRTC authorities to make arrangements for restoration of RTC bus services to pre-Covid era across the State, starting with an increase in city bus services from the present 25 per cent to 50 per cent in GHMC limits.

In another initiative, the Chief Minister decided to give an opportunity to eligible contract lecturers to work in their choice of vacant posts available in government junior college in the State, and instructed the Education department officials to prepare necessary guidelines as per existing rules and



regulations.

The Chief Minister, who held a detailed review meeting with top officials on the operation of the revolutionary Dharani portal at Pragathi Bhavan here, asked Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar to formally launch the registration of non-agriculture lands. The portal, which was formally launched on October 29 by the Chief Minister, went partially live on November 2 when registrations and mutations of agriculture lands were carried out online in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes. 

Chandrashekhar Rao had announced then that registration of non-agriculture lands would go live within three weeks, and true to his word, Dharani will start accepting registration of such lands from November 23.

The registration of non-agricultural properties would be carried out through 142 sub-registrar offices across the State.
