Hyderabad , Dec. 18 The Andhra Pradesh Government is planning to set up a cell under Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) to identify and take back all `assigned' lands from unauthorised people and redistribute those lands to the poor and needy. Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Chief Minister, has directed the District Collectors to set up cells at district level also and get a registry of assigned lands and see how much of it was in the hands of unauthorised people.

The scheme would be introduced in three districts of Anantapur, Mahboobnagar and Srikakulam on a pilot basis. As many as 23.16 lakh people would be covered. The Government would form a Trust, headed by a senior doctor to oversee the scheme. After reviewing the results, the scheme would later be expanded to other districts.
