Hyderabad: Urban land in Ranga Reddy district is what the TRS government is set to sell to raise money for welfare schemes.

In Hyderabad district, the government has 66 acres of litigation-free land in 16 mandals. In contrast, the government has over 1,000 acres of litigation-free land in Ranga Reddy district. Most of this is located in Hyderabad, and officials estimate the government can earn Rs 3,060 crore by selling it. Land on the outskirts could fetch another Rs 96 crore.
