GHMC TO HOLD LRS MELA ON NOVEMBER 30

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation will hold an LRS mela on November 30 to process applications for the Land Regularisation Scheme in the city limits. Applications sent in on or before December 31,

2016, will be dealt with at the mela.

GHMC commissioner D.S. Lokesh Kumar said a total of

85,291 LRS applications have been received, of which 28,935 have already been processed and 2,516 rejected. The corporation will now look into the remaining 25,726 applications, which have missing documents.

“GHMC is organising an LRS mela to enable applicants to submit short fall documents and also for payment of fee,” he added.

The commissioner also reviewed the pending contempt of court cases, personal appearance, writ petitions, number of counters filed and counter affidavits that should be filed within 15 days on contempt cases.

He instructed town planning officials to take action on the orders with 15 days in writing of court orders, duly following procedures, failing which action will be initiated against the officials concerned.

Further, he said action should be initiated on the representations of illegal constructions, unauthorised constructions and encroachments, and applicants informed of the action taken within 15 days, and with this the number of court cases would be reduced.
