He said of the total 66,842 acres, 25,462 acres worth ₹ 7,700 crore was government land, 23,262 acres worth ₹ 9,200 crore was private land, 4,457 acres worth ₹1350 crore was acquired through land pooling and 1,074 acres valued at ₹325 crore was CRDA lands.

The Chief Minister further said that officials should gear up for the distribution process slated for August 15.
The house pattas would be registered in the names of the women of the house, he added.
The lists of the beneficiaries should be displayed at the offices of Village/Ward Secretariats and if there was a case of anybody left out, the officials should accept the application, scrutinise it and include the name based on eligibility norms.
Sand supply
The Chief Minister reminded the officials of the 72-hour time frame for supply of sand to those who place the order for it.
Pointing to backlogs, especially in East and West Godavari districts besides Guntur district, he wanted the officials to implement special drives to clear the backlogs.
