Dear Team
We have been requesting for a Rural Road Development/Formation (from MUD Road to Thar Road) in our village to concern (BDO, Collector & Rural Development Director) authorities almost more than 15 years. Every time we are getting standard answer as “This will be taken up in next financial year once the fund is allotted”. But there is action taken so far for developing the road.
This MUD road is used by the public more than hundred years as a pathway to connect main road and hamlets.
Existing Road Details:- (Village - Thathathiripuram, District - Namakkal, State - Tamilnadu)
Length of the Road is 2.1 KM (1.1 KM is Poramboke land and 1.0 KM is of Patta Land – but marked as “Nilaviyal Pathai)
Type of Road – MUD
We understand that (offline feedback from the authorities), reason for not taking up the road is due to the below reasons:-
1. Around 1 KM length is in Patta land in the entire stretch of the 2.1 KM Road length
2. There is no uniform width for entire length of the road (Min width is 13 Feet and Max width is 24 Feet)
3. Contractor may not be ready to take tender thinking that few land owners may object.
It may be noted that, entire road area/length are separately having sub-divisioned survey numbers from the adjacent land survey numbers and marked as “Nilaviyal Pathai” (Cart Track) in A-Register of Revenue Records as well as Government Land.
But still some sub-divisioned survey numbers are mapped to the adjacent land owner’s Patta entry (But marked as Nilaviyal Pathai (Cart Track) in A-Register of Revenue Records), some sub-divisioned survey number are mapped as Poramboke (Government land).
Please clarify, if any sub-division survey numbers meant for road marking having Patta entry but marked as “Nilaviyal Pathai (Cart Track) in A-Register of Revenue Record is a Government Land or Private Land.
If "Nilaviyal Pathai" is a Government Land then how to proceed to correct the revenue records as "Pramboke-Government Land" and whom to be approached, it may be a genuine reason due to which authorities are resistant to take up the road development/formation from MUD Road to Thar Road.
Please suggest and advice your views.
Thanks & Regards - Sundaram S
