31 Tribal Families in Pidathapoluru Receive New Homes
Imagine a village where some families were promised new houses, but the building stopped before they were finished.
It was like having a house with no roof or doors!
But then, a new government came and decided to finish the job.
They found the old houses needed fixing, like patching up weak walls and making sure the roofs were high enough.
Now, 31 families can finally move into their safe and complete homes.
The government also said they are giving more money to help build houses for families, making sure they are built properly this time.
31 tribal families have moved into their newly completed homes in Pidathapoluru.
The housing project had been stalled with incomplete works for years.
Sarvepalli MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy attended the house-warming ceremonies.
The MLA criticized the previous YSRC government for unfinished constructions and alleged financial irregularities.
The current government has increased the financial allocation and support per house for beneficiaries.
