Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the officials to complete the comprehensive land survey in a foolproof manner by June 2023.
At a review meeting on ‘Jagananna Saswatha Bhoomi Hakku - Bhoomi Raksha Survey’ on Wednesday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the project was hampered to some extent by COVID-19, and that it needed to be expedited now to finish it within the stipulated time.

The officials told the Chief Minister that 70 base stations had been set up so far and that the project was going on with high accuracy. More base stations were being installed, they said. Drones were being procured with the help of Survey of India.
