Minister Promises Indiramma Houses for Every Eligible Poor Family
A government minister said all eligible poor families should receive homes through the Indiramma housing scheme.
He said families should be selected fairly, without considering their caste, religion or political connections.
The government is also adding water, drainage and electricity to a large housing colony in Nookalapalli.
More services, such as a school, ration shop and bus facility, are planned there.
Officials will check applications carefully before approving houses.
The government also plans to resurvey land to help settle ownership disputes.
This survey may find fake land documents and protect genuine farmers.
In Jagtial district, more than 10,000 Indiramma houses have been sanctioned.
Ministers also gave compensation to two families whose children died after entering a pond to swim.
Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said every eligible poor family would receive an Indiramma house regardless of caste, religion or political affiliation.
The government has taken up infrastructure works worth Rs 32 crore at Jagtial’s Nookalapalli 2BHK Colony.
Officials were directed to arrange a ration shop, bus service, school and police station for the colony.
A comprehensive land resurvey is planned within one-and-a-half years to resolve disputes and identify fake pattadar passbooks.
A total of 10,365 Indiramma houses were sanctioned in Jagtial district, with Rs 227.32 crore released to 8,079 beneficiaries.
