KCR

Hyderabad | The complaint of a farmer in Mancherial district of Telangana about a mistake in records over ownership of lands was resolved on Wednesday following the intervention of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.

A farmer at a village in Nennel mandal had two ‘khatas’ (khata is like an account number), official sources said.

In the process of merging the two, one survey number was mistakenly mentioned in the name of others.

This led to the other person benefiting from government schemes also, they said.

The farmer, who faced the trouble due to the mistake, reportedly posted the matter on social media.

On learning about it, Rao spoke to him, TRS sources said.

Some Television channels also aired the telephonic conversation of Rao with the farmer.

Rao spoke to district Collector Bharati Hollikeri, who inquired into the matter.

She told PTI that the land was being restored to the rightful owner and action was being taken against those who made the mistake.

The farmer had earlier approached the district administration and the process to address the issue had been initiated, she said.

Pune | Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Wednesday the Indian defence industry was keen to support African countries in the acquisition of latest military hardware.

He was speaking at the closing ceremony of Africa-India Field Training Exercise-2019 (AFINDEX-19) at Aundh Military station.

Referring to an equipment display organised under the aegis of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) after the exercise, Rawat said it was a “humble attempt to showcase the emerging Indian defence industry”.

“The defence industry is keen to support African nations in acquiring the latest military hardware, aimed at capacity enhancements in tune with emerging trends,” the Army chief said.

India’s relations with African countries were based on a development partnership, on common strategic convergences and economic interests, he said.

“India is one of the largest contributors to peace-keeping operations in Africa and has participated in nearly all the peace-keeping operations in the continent and currently (has) sizable contingents in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan,” Rawat said.

The aim of AFINDEX-19 was to train participating contingents in “humanitarian mine assistance” and peacekeeping operation, enhance cooperation, share best practices and achieve interoperatibility among all African armies, he said.

The focus of “humanitarian mine assistance” was on education, awareness and casualty evacuation and victim rehabilitation, he said.

Such exercises should be conducted on a regular basis, Rawat added.

Representatives of 17 African countries — Benin, Botswana, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe — took part in the ten-day long exercise.

It showcased tactical drills such as convoy protection and neutralisation of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED).

The Indian contingent was represented by Maratha Light Infantry (Jangi Paltan).
