It may also be recalled that the previous BRS government headed by the then Chief Minister K.

The company had won the tender for Rs. 116 crore and sold its shares for around Rs. 1,200 crore. The agency’s activities went bankrupt and it changed its name to Terrasys Technologies Limited. Even the company directors also changed and sold the shares to Falcon Investment Company. All this raised doubts over the confidentiality of land data as well as the details of Aadhaar and bank account details of the land owners. This had become a major campaign issue during the last Assembly elections and the BRS was pushed into defence over the issue. There were allegations that land registrations were even done during midnight in some cases.

As part of the probe being conducted, the Chief Minister instructed the officials to resolve the pending applications in Dharani immediately. Necessary arrangements are being made in all Mandal Tahsildar offices to dispose of the applications in the first week of March.
