Employees say they are facing pressure from local body election duties, SIR of electoral rolls, cyclone-related work, census training, pattadar passbook distribution, festival duties and protocol assignments

The Andhra Pradesh Revenue Services’ Association (APRSA) has called for a reduction in workload for revenue employees engaged in the land resurvey exercise, citing the staff's overwhelming duties and mental stress. At a meeting chaired by the association's president, Bopparaju Venkateswarlu, the group expressed concerns over simultaneous handling of multiple tasks such as local body elections, Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, and cyclone-related work.

The association emphasized the need for adequate manpower, technical support, and funds to ensure the accuracy and quality of the resurvey, while warning that hasty completion could result in errors similar to those found in earlier passbooks.
