Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh has urged officials to speed up the processing of Layout Regularization Scheme (LRS) applications. On Tuesday, during his visit to Bingi Doddi village in Aija Mandal, he reviewed the field-level inspection process using a mobile app.
The Collector stressed the importance of thoroughly checking the applications based on government guidelines. He emphasized the need to register all application details online. Key factors like survey numbers, plot application numbers, road widths, Inam land, and overseer permissions must be carefully considered. Additionally, Panchayat Secretaries were told to review and correct road details and upload latitude-longitude data from all four sides of the plots.
The Collector also directed Assistant Engineers (AEs) to check the availability of water resources, while Revenue Inspectors were tasked with distinguishing between government and private land. He called for the LRS process to be completed transparently and accurately from start to finish. Special training programs were suggested to help officials understand the LRS process better and avoid mistakes. The Collector urged officials to resolve LRS applications quickly and thoroughly.
Later, the Collector inspected tentative layout applications under TS-bPASS in Aija and Vaddepalli municipalities. He looked at the site and asked officials about the approach road, water supply, drainage system, electricity supply, and revenue NOC.
The Collector also visited the site for the Integrated SC/ST School in Vaddepalli Mandal. Earlier, he inspected the bridge from Aija to Kurnool with officials from relevant departments. He inquired about the depth of the stream, possible alternative routes, and the condition of the bridge. The Collector instructed municipal officials to be vigilant during the rainy season and to stop vehicle movement if the stream flow becomes dangerous. He also requested estimates for the bridge and road repairs. The Collector emphasized the need for officials to stay alert during heavy rains, monitor the situation regularly, and act quickly if tanks or ponds breach or if roads are damaged.
The program was attended by Municipal Commissioner Lakshmi Reddy, District Town Planning Officer Kurmanna, DPO Shyam Sundar, Tehsildar Jyothi, Srinivas Sharma, R&B EE Pragati, and officials from Revenue, Engineering, and Panchayat departments.
