Land disputes up in Andhra Pradesh capital area.

The mounting demand for land in the proposed capital in Tullur mandal has led to a rise in land disputes.
 
A majority of land sales and purchases are carried out on agreements, but the increasing demand for land in villages in the capital region is leading to disputes between sellers and purchasers.
 
According to reports, the revenue and police departments have received nearly 400 complaints about land disputes from these villages.
 
A farmer from Tullur, N. Narasimham, said that he sold two acres of his farmland a month ago based on an agreement, but within 15 days, the buyer had resold his land to another person making a huge profit. He claimed that farmers are incurring huge losses due to day-to-day increasing land rates. 
 
He added that several buyers are purchasing lands only for resale and they are making huge profits within a few days. Buyers are paying only the advance to the seller farmer and later paying the rest of the amount after reselling the same land.
 
Another farmer, L. Konda Reddy, said that neighbouring farmers are becoming enemies due to land disputes during sale of farmlands. He added that proper surveying and computerisation of land records are must to avoid disputes.
 
A real estate agent, S. Venu, said that transactions on temporary agreement paper, without registration, are taking place in Tullur and adjacent new capital villages. He said that this is yielding good profits to agents, realtors and middlemen as they are purchasing and selling land without registration in a short period. 
 
He added that the continuous land price hike in the capital region is the cause of several disputes as sellers are demanding extra money against agreement rates.
