GO 118 promised titles; LB Nagar got paperwork limbo
The 2022 order created a route to regularise 44 colonies. Four years later, 9,792 applications or plots are reportedly still in the queue, while the Congress government has announced another process without publishing the paperwork that would explain the delay.
Residents covered by G.O.Ms.No.118 remain caught between pending files and a fresh regularisation process.
LB Nagar’s land problem has acquired the one feature no property owner asks for: more paperwork. G.O.Ms.No.118, issued on October 28, 2022, created a regularisation process for 44 colonies across six Assembly constituencies, including LB Nagar. It covered residential structures on plots up to 1,000 square yards, at Rs 250 per square yard, with applications to be processed by the Collectors. [1]
The order created a route to title; it did not automatically regularise every house. K.T. Rama Rao later announced the scheme, and a 2023 report said he distributed documents to some LB Nagar beneficiaries. [2][3] That is evidence of implementation, not proof that the entire backlog disappeared.
A September 3, 2026 memo, reported by two publications, is said to record 9,792 applications under GO 118 and direct officials to process them within a month, subject to court orders. The figure is not independently available from the memo itself, and it should not be casually converted into “9,792 families”. [4] The Congress government has also announced a fresh process and a panel on 22-A issues, but has not published the survey-number list, the operative order or a colony-wise break-up. [5][6]
BRS MLA D. Sudheer Reddy alleges that the Congress government placed GO 118 properties in the 22-A prohibited list. The available records do not establish that allegation. They establish something less theatrical and more useful: a 2022 promise, incomplete public accounting, and a current government asking residents to wait for yet another administrative chapter. [7]
