Survey to be carried out to find encroachments by Jamuna hatcheries in Medak
Medak: Toofran Revenue Divisional Officer has served notices to Etala Jamuna Reddy, Etala Nithin Reddy and several other farmers informing them that the revenue and survey departments will be resuming the combined survey from November 16 to 18 in survey number 97 at Hakimpet village of Masaipet Mandal in Medak district.
Jamuna Reddy, wife of BJP MLA from Huzurabad Etala Rajendar, and their son Nitihin were having lands in the survey number where Etala’s family set up Jamuna Hatcheries.
Following the instructions of the RDO, the revenue department officials have pasted notices at Jamuna Hatcheries buildings besides handing over the notices to several other farmers from Hakimpet who were having lands in the said survey number. In the wake of allegations of encroachments of the lands by Etala’s family, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had ordered a survey in June month. However, they had stopped the survey as the Jamuna Hatcheries filed a writ petition in the High Court citing Covid-19.
Speaking to news reporters in Medak on Monday, Medak Collector S Harish said the officials had found some encroachments into government lands and ceiling lands by Jamuna Hatcheries during a preliminary survey in June. However, the survey had to be stopped as Jamuna Hatcheries filed a writ in the High Court. He further said the court asked them to stop the survey because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Saying that the Court has asked them to postpone the survey for three months, the Collector said that they have decided to carry out the survey as the district recorded zero Corona cases now.
The Collector clarified that they were going to continue the earlier survey conducted in June. He said there would be clarity on the issue by November 18.
