HYDERABAD: In a major development, the Telangana government on Monday ordered an inquiry into the alleged corrupt practices and misconduct of several revenue employees, including Village Revenue Officers (VROs), Tahsildars, Revenue Divisional Officers and Registrars.

The Revenue Department issued 34 separate GOs for each revenue employee on Monday. For instance, the GO initiated departmental proceedings against retired VRO of Kolluru village S Karunakar Reddy.
