Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh highlighted the need for licensed surveyors to use modern technology for accurate land surveys. He spoke during a training for surveyors at the MPDO office on Monday.
The Collector discussed the new Bhoobharati Act-2025, aimed at solving land issues. He said survey maps are now essential for registration and mutation, which is why surveyors are receiving special training.
