Telangana to Upgrade Sub-Registrar Offices with Modern Amenities
The Telangana government has decided to upgrade over 100 sub-registrar offices currently operating out of rented spaces. Plans are underway to construct state-of-the-art offices with modern facilities to improve services for the public. In the first phase, the focus will be on the city of Hyderabad and its suburbs. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, during a recent review meeting with district collectors and officials, emphasized the need for better facilities and instructed officials to identify suitable land for building these new offices.
Currently, out of 144 sub-registrar offices in the state, only 37 operate from government-owned buildings. Many of these rented offices lack basic amenities such as proper seating arrangements, forcing people to wait outside for long hours. Minister Reddy directed officials to ensure that the new buildings are built to the standards of corporate offices and equipped with all necessary provisions.
As part of Phase-I, several offices have been selected for relocation or new construction. These include Sangareddy and Patancheru offices in Sangareddy district, Medchal, Quthbullapur, and Uppal offices in Medchal-Malkajgiri district, and the Kandukur office in Ranga Reddy district, which will move to the Fourth City. Additionally, offices in Gandipet, Serilingampally, and the Ranga Reddy district registrar office will be shifted to a new integrated facility in Gachibowli at the Academy of Land Information & Management.
The foundation stone for these projects is expected to be laid in January. The integrated sub-registrar offices will feature modern amenities like parking spaces, waiting halls, and drinking water facilities. Hyderabad offices currently located in Banjara Hills, SR Nagar, and Golconda will be relocated to Shaikpet on government land. Officials have been asked to secure plots of at least three acres for each office in Phase-I.
Minister Reddy has called for robust designs to ensure these new offices meet all basic requirements while promoting smoother and more transparent services. He also urged officials to use technological advancements to curb corruption in sub-registrar offices, ensuring efficient processing of applications and delivering services without delays or malpractices.
These modern facilities aim to transform the way sub-registrar offices function, making them more accessible and user-friendly for the public while reducing existing inefficiencies.
