MLA Vanama Venkateswar Rao has written a letter to the government seeking to extend the last date. He informed the government that large number of residents in Kothagudem and other places in the district have not submitted applications owing to various reasons.

The date extension has come into force on Oct 25 following a memo issued by Revenue Department Special Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar on Oct 24 and the residents can now submit their applications online, said the MLA who thanked the Chief Minister for extending the last date. The date will benefit the residents in coal belt areas such as Khammam, Kothagudem, Mancherial, Bhupalpally, Asifabad, Adilabad, Peddapalli and Jagitial, he said.
