Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Commission chairman Kodanda Reddy interacting with M. Sunil Kumar, the legal expert who played key role in drafting Bhu Bharati Act, at Gajulapahad village, where a farmer committed suicide due to land related problems. Farmers continue to face problems related to their land transactions a year after the enactment of Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights) Act, 2025. The recent suicide by farmer Madhav Rao in Gajulapahad village of Kangti mandal in Sangareddy district is indicative of the difficulties faced by farmers in securing rights over their lands. Madhav Rao reportedly took to the extreme step unable to face pressure from his family members after the ownership of the 8.25 acre land owned by the family was transferred to others through sada bainama (plain paper transaction) without their knowledge.

How Vikram and Jyotika’s busy schedules led to the start of Vijay and Trisha’s on-screen journey | Tamil News

Published by Parlour News

The story of how Ghilli came to be is, in many ways, the story of how the best accidents in Tamil cinema happen. Director Dharani had watched the Telugu blockbuster Okkadu (2003), directed by Gunasekhar and starring Mahesh Babu in the lead, and immediately saw in it the bones of a Tamil film waiting to be made. For the lead roles, Vikram and Jyotika were the first choices, a pairing that made sense given the star equity both carried at the time. Due to other commitments, both were unavailable, and the movie almost did not happen. Then Vijay and Trisha were brought in to replace them. It was a replacement that nobody made much of in the moment. Vijay, at the time of Ghilli’s release in April 2004, was at an interesting stage of his career. The early 2000s had brought Tamil cinema a new generation of directors and a new kind of filmmaking, with names like Gautham Vasudev Menon, Selvaraghavan, and Ameer redefining what a Tamil film could look like and what it could …

The promised land record – The Hindu

Ever since the Congress government came to power in Telangana, it has taken a series of measures to streamline the land ownership process, rectify deficiencies in the previous system that had caused sleepless nights for farmers, and improve revenue administration. Farmers began to struggle when, in 2020, the Telangana Assembly enacted the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, popularly known as the Record of Rights Act. The previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government had also introduced the Dharani portal, a land record management portal, billed as one-stop solution for land-related issues. However, the portal was rife with errors. There was often a mismatch between the physical records and the digitised records, and 18.36 lakh acres of land were pushed into the prohibited list even though farmers had been tilling them for decades. The portal was operated by a foreign company. To make matters worse, the new law left no scope for grievance redress at the local level. The power of redress was mostly vested with the District Collector or Chief Commissioner of Land …

In Telangana, a major revamp needed for Dharani

Published by Parlour News

The Dharani portal, which was launched in 2020, has drawn flak right from its inception from both political parties and land owners. The Dharani portal, the much-hyped one-stop solution for land-related transactions in Telangana, is apparently headed towards a major revamp so that it is user-friendly and ensures seamless transactions. The portal, which was launched in 2020, has drawn flak right from its inception from both political parties and land owners. The Congress, which was then in the Opposition, claimed that land was being alienated in favour of leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the name of Dharani at the expense of poor landowners, who were made to run from pillar to post to get their problems resolved. Complaints about the portal include patta land being included in the prohibited list, mismatches between the extent of land in records and the actual field dimensions, and the absence of a provision for registering lands in the name of multiple owners, On becoming Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy appointed a high-level committee to evolve guidelines …
