Speaking in the house, CM KCR said that Maroon color passbooks will be issued to non-agricultural lands so that these lands can be identified without any difficulties.

He said that a lion share of poor and small farmers who hail from SC, ST, BC, and minority communities in the state own less than 5 acres.

CM KCR went on to say that protecting the lands of Non-Resident Indians (NRI) is on the government and for this, a new mechanism will be put forth to protect these lands.
