Deputy Chief Minister K.E. Krishnamurthy on Thursday exhorted revenue officials to double up efforts to create a land bank in the district to attract new industries to the State.
Reviewing the functioning of the Revenue Department, Mr. Krishnamurthy, who also holds the Revenue portfolio, said officials right from the grassroots level had a crucial role to play in the building of ‘Navya Andhra’. He lauded the efforts of the revenue staff in providing succour to people during the recent floods in the district.
He also asked Revenue employees to do self-introspection and resolve land-related matters. The Minister wanted the revenue staff at the village level to camp in each village for days together to swiftly resolve issues concerning farmers.
