Andhra Pradesh: No eligible person should be left out of housing scheme, officials told

Amaravati: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy directed the officials to ensure all the eligible people get the house sites, without fail, stating that the government doesn't reduce the number of beneficiaries to save funds.

Addressing officials at his camp office here on Thursday, the Chief Minister said that all the eligible beneficiaries must get covered by the government's welfare schemes, leaving no one behind. The state government is working relentlessly for the welfare of the poor and in case if any eligible was left out by mistake, they should be immediately included in the welfare activities. Any applications seeking ration card, pension, and housing should not be pending and must be resolved at the earliest possible.

He said all applications of ration card, pension must be resolved in 10 days, Aarogyasri card in 20 days, and housing applications in 90 days. He directed the authorities to display these particulars at all ward and village secretariats.

He said that the desecration of idols will not be tolerated and stringent action will be taken against those responsible. He termed the destruction of idols 'atrocious' and God will surely punish those who keep messing up with temples and idols. The Chief Minister directed the police to take strict action to prevent such incidents from happening again.
