The 'error-free Pahani' taluks are Hunsur with 1,000 land records, K R Nagar 250, H D Kote and Periyapatna with 400 each, Hunsur sub-divisional officer M K Jagadish said on Monday.

In all, 64 Hadis and Thandas have been proposed to the government to be converted into revenue villages in the four taluks. About 350 burial grounds have been declared as general burial grounds under the state government's proposal to have common cemeteries for all sections of the people, the highest being Hunsur sub-division with 112, followed by K R Nagar 108, H D Kote 55 and Periyapatna 75, he added.

Deputy Commissioner C Shikha said steps had been taken to fill up all vacant posts of village accountants in Mysuru district by January 2015. The government had directed officials to conduct revenue adalats at village level itself, to avoid farmers run around offices.

MLA H P Manjunath asked officials to identify land for starting an ITI at Bilikere.
