Elderly woman seeks Collector’s help in transferring late husband’s land ownership during grievance programme

Distressed over the alleged delay in registration of her late husband’s agricultural land in her name, an elderly woman from Porandla village in Thimmapur mandal knocked on district administration’s doors here on Monday.

The woman, identified as K. Lakshmi, submitted her petition to Collector Chitra Mishra during Prajavani, the weekly grievance redressal meeting, at the Collectorate on Monday.

In her petition, she alleged that her application for transfer of her late husband Raji Reddy’s three-and-a-half-acre agricultural land in her name was pending with the officials concerned for a long time.

She deplored that despite multiple visits to the mandal Tahsildar’s office, her application remained unresolved.

According to sources, she suddenly tried to touch the feet of the Collector while seeking her intervention to resolve her grievance.

The Collector reportedly asked the officials concerned to resolve her grievance promptly.

Sources added that around 225 petitions were received during the weekly grievance redressal meeting on Monday.
