Medchal Survey No.145 needs facts, not rumours

A report claims a private venture cut a road through “Rs 100 crore” worth of government land at Medchal and kept using it after demolition. The math might add up — the paperwork doesn’t. Until officials put the record on the table, this stays an allegation, not a verdict.

A Telangana revenue office desk holds a huge rolled land map marked Survey No. 145, a calculator, a measuring scale and two conflicting folders labelled ‘2.29 guntas’ and ‘2 acres 29 guntas’; behind them, an unguarded concrete road cuts through scrubland beside a local highway.

The Survey No. 145 allegation awaits the records that could establish it.

News, real-estate

A local report says a private venture carved a cement road through government land beside the Medchal–Kishtapur main road in Survey No. 145, that officials dug it up after a complaint, and that the road is still being used because it wasn’t fenced. It pegs the land at “2.29 guntalu” and nearby rates at Rs 80,000–1,00,000 per sq yd, implying roughly Rs 100 crore in value if “2.29” means 2 acres 29 guntas. The source for ownership, the demolition order and the valuation is the report itself; no official record is produced. (ntnews.com)

What is on the record: Naresh, CPM mandal secretary, Medchal, publicly urged protection of “government land in Survey No. 145” and suggested fire/ESI uses. A suggestion is not evidence of title, nor of encroachment. (ntnews.com)

What is missing: a revenue extract showing Survey No. 145 as government land; the Collector complaint; the demolition file; the name of the venture; and any HMDA/panchayat approvals for the nearby layouts the report cites. An HMDA master-planning page lists layout references, but without village/approval numbers it cannot be tied to this parcel. A RERA record mentioning Survey No. 145 is for Bachupally, not Medchal.

The arithmetic might check out if the area is 2 acres 29 guntas (~13,189 sq yd at the stated rates). If “2.29 guntas” was literal, the crore claim collapses. Until revenue and planning documents are put up, readers are being asked to take a nine-figure allegation on faith. Telangana deserves better than faith-based land records.
