New authority to protect lakes in AP
The Andhra Pradesh state government has endowed the newly constituted Andhra Pradesh Land Management Authority (APLMA) with the responsibility of protecting government land.
Special emphasis has been laid on the tank bed land in the state.
Recently there has been stress on the protection of lakes in GHMC areas as more than fifty lakes in these areas have either been encroached or regularised to realtors after encroachment.
The newly constituted authority is headed by the chief commissioner of land administration (CCLA) and has principal secretaries of various departments dealing with land.
