The land dispute surrounding former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s Erravelli farmhouse has intensified as Revenue officials continue their detailed survey and verification of land records in the area. Officials are examining Survey No. 325 and related land records to establish the ownership, possession and classification of different parcels surrounding the farmhouse.
The survey follows directions from the Telangana government to verify allegations concerning government and assigned land in and around the farmhouse area. According to reports, Revenue officials are checking whether assigned lands and government land have been incorporated into the property and are comparing official records with the physical position of the land.
Officials have been conducting field surveys in the Erravelli, Venkatapur and Varadarajpur areas of Markook mandal in Siddipet district. The exercise includes examining old revenue records, survey numbers, pattas and details of previous and present landholders.
Reports indicate that authorities are specifically checking assigned-land records and attempting to identify the people currently occupying various portions of the land. Satellite-based mapping and ground-level measurements are also being used as part of the verification process.The survey is intended to establish the actual extent and status of land recorded in government documents and compare it with the land currently under physical possession.
Survey No. 325 has emerged as a key part of the ongoing inquiry. The government has alleged that around 388 acres of government land fall within this survey number and has directed officials to establish its present status.
The allegation has not been finally established through a completed survey or court ruling. Revenue authorities are currently conducting the verification process to determine the exact extent of government, assigned and private land.Recent reports said officials continued the survey for a second day and marked boundaries involving Erravalli, Venkatapur and Varadarajpur villages.
The wider inquiry concerns land associated with KCR’s Erravelli farmhouse. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had directed Revenue officials to determine how much land was legally purchased and whether any government land was included within the larger property.Officials have been given a deadline to submit their findings. The investigation is also examining the historical records connected with the land and the overlapping boundaries between neighbouring villages.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has said that the survey will establish the exact extent and ownership of the land. He also stated that people holding valid original pattas for assigned land should not be disturbed, while cases involving occupation without valid documentation would be examined according to the records.
As part of the verification process, Revenue authorities are reportedly asking landholders to provide documents supporting their ownership and possession. A recent report said notices had been issued to a number of farmers for document verification in connection with Survey No. 325.The document verification process is expected to help authorities compare historical pattas and revenue records with present-day possession.
The Erravelli farmhouse land issue has also become a subject of political debate between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS. The Congress government has called for a detailed examination of the land records, while BRS leaders have disputed the allegations and questioned the government’s claims.For now, the Revenue Department’s survey remains the key process through which the actual land status is expected to be determined. Any further action will depend on the findings of the official survey, verification of documents and applicable legal procedures.
Revenue officials are expected to continue the field survey and record verification in the coming days. The final report could clarify the extent of government land, assigned land and private holdings in the disputed area.Until the survey and legal verification are completed, claims regarding encroachment or unlawful possession should be treated as allegations rather than established findings.
