Telangana Orders Fresh Survey of 45 Acres Near KCR’s Erravalli Farmhouse

The Telangana state government has ordered a comprehensive ground survey after official records revealed a 45-acre land discrepancy in Survey No. 325 at Erravalli village in Siddipet district. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy issued the directive during a high-level review on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, instructing revenue officials to establish the exact location and legal status of the unaccounted-for parcel.

Officials Identify 45-Acre Mismatch in Erravalli Survey 325

During the review meeting, revenue authorities briefed Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy that official revenue records list a total of 388 acres under Survey No. 325 in Erravalli village, located in Markook mandal of Siddipet district. However, a preliminary field survey carried out by officials identified only 343 acres on the ground, creating an unexplained gap of 45 acres.

In response to these findings, the state government has issued an official survey notification covering Erravalli and the neighbouring village of Venkatapuram. Field teams have been instructed to conduct an exhaustive survey across both revenue jurisdictions to determine the physical boundaries and verify whether the missing acreage stems from documentation errors or boundary overlaps with nearby holdings.

As part of the verification exercise, officials were directed to issue formal notices to former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and his family members, whose landholdings border the survey area, requesting them to submit their relevant Bhu Bharati Portal revenue records.

Impact on Local Farmers and Neighbouring Landholders

The outcome of the comprehensive survey directly affects local agricultural communities and adjoining property owners. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy stated that following the completion of the survey and formal verification of revenue documents, authorities must initiate steps to distribute land within Survey No. 325 among eligible local farmers.

Neighbouring property owners who share boundaries with Survey No. 325 are being asked to provide property titles and related revenue filings to help cross-check land extents. Officials emphasized that the notices are procedural requests for documentation necessary to reconcile administrative discrepancies.

State authorities reiterated that the reported land shortfall does not represent a conclusive finding of wrongdoing against any individual or prove that any particular landholder holds unlawful possession of the unaccounted-for 45 acres.

Hyderabad Review Focuses on High-Profile Siddipet Land

Although the land under inquiry is situated in rural Siddipet district near KCR’s farmhouse, the administrative review was conducted from Hyderabad, drawing significant attention to state-level revenue transparency. The inquiry forms part of a wider administrative push to ensure accurate rural land administration and boundary demarcation across Telangana.

In addition to the survey directive, the Chief Minister instructed officials to develop a dedicated Telangana Martyrs’ Colony in the Survey No. 325 area. The administration has set a firm project completion deadline of June 2, 2027, for the residential development.

“Decisions on distributing land in Survey No. 325 to eligible local farmers will follow the completion of the comprehensive survey and verification of revenue records.”

Discrepancy Uncovered Between Revenue Records and Field Surveys

The core of the Erravalli inquiry lies in a substantial statistical mismatch between historical land registries and physical on-ground measurements. When revenue officials cross-referenced the Record of Rights Telangana documentation with actual ground layouts, the survey revealed an unaccounted-for gap of 45 acres from the recorded 388 acres.

Resolving such acreage gaps requires detailed examination of historical village maps, boundary demarcation stones, and digitized entries in the Telangana Pahani. The current administrative mandate seeks to systematically trace where the discrepancy originated over previous settlement and survey cycles.

Boundary Verification Across Erravalli and Venkatapuram Next

The next phase of the investigation involves on-ground survey teams conducting detailed border checks across Erravalli and neighbouring Venkatapuram. Surveyors will systematically map physical parcels against archived revenue registers to establish the exact geographical coordinates of the 45-acre gap.

While notices are being served to border landholders, including K. Chandrashekar Rao and his family members, the state government has not specified an official completion date for the final survey report. Land distribution to eligible local beneficiaries will remain paused until all parcel boundaries are formally validated, alongside the planned progression of the Telangana Martyrs’ Colony targeted for June 2, 2027.
