VIJAYAWADA: To resolve the long-pending disputes with regard to the lands belonging to the Endowments Department in different parts of the State, Endowments Commissioner P Arjuna Rao asked the Drone Corporation of Andhra Pradesh to survey these lands and submit a report by September-end.
The decision to resolve the long-pending disputes was taken as at least 226 applications seeking no objection certificates (NOCs) have been pending before the Endowments Department for a long time. These applicants have approached the department as their lands are caught in various kinds of disputes and they are unable to either sell their lands or execute gift deeds.
