HYDERABAD, February 17,2025: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) Commissioner, A.V. Ranganath, has issued a stern warning to the public regarding the purchase of farm plots in unauthorized layouts on the city’s outskirts. He emphasized that such plots lack official permissions and that buying them could lead to significant legal and financial troubles for buyers.
During a Prajavani grievance redressal program held at Buddha Bhavan on Monday, February 17, Commissioner Ranganath highlighted that, according to the Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019, and the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018, layouts cannot be developed on farmland without proper authorization. He clarified that only land measuring a minimum of 2,000 square meters (20 guntas) can be classified as agricultural land. Furthermore, he pointed out that the government has instructed the Stamps and Registration Department not to register any farm plots that do not comply with these regulations.
The Commissioner also noted that complaints have been received regarding illegal layouts being sold as farm plots in various areas, including Lakshmi Guda village in Rajendranagar Mandal. He stated that individuals involved in these illegal activities would face legal repercussions, and HYDRAA plans to intensify its efforts to monitor and prevent such sales.
HYDRAA urges citizens to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any farm plot offers to safeguard their investments and avoid legal issues.
