Hyderabad: State government has allotted only 1,000 2BHK houses for each of the 95 Assembly constituencies (excluding GHMC), but the demand for houses is at least 10,000 in each segment.Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s flagship housing programme for the poor has evoked enthusiastic response. The administration received 10 lakh applications for the scheme. While the District Collectors are empowered to select the beneficiaries, the ruling party MLAs have recently represented to the Chief Minister that 1,000 units for each constituency cannot satisfy the poor.
Highlights:
- TRS legislators have represented to the Chief Minister that allotment of 10,000 units to each constituency will not satisfy the poor
- They urge Minister for Housing A Indrakaran Reddy to find a satisfactory solution to the problem to pre-empt Opposition onslaught
The government has given sanction for construction of 95,000 houses in the state. The earstwhile Mahbubnagar, comprising 14 Assembly constituencies, has been allotted 14,000 houses, Warangal 12,000), Ranga Reddy 6,000), Medak 9,000, Adilabad 10,000, Nizamabad 9,000, Karimnagar 13,000, Khammam 10,000 and Nalgonda district 12,000. Special Chief Secretary ( Housing) Chitra Ramachandran said that the allotted houses would be distributed between rural and urban areas in the every constituency based on the local demand.
The funds available from Prime Minister Awas Yojana and Housing For All scheme of the Union government would be be dovetailed with the housing scheme by the State Housing Department. The entire programme in both rural and urban areas would be implemented in all the Districts by Collectors.The Housing Department officials said the demand for the requirement of houses in each constituency is 10 times more than the sanctioned 1,000 houses this year.
The selection of the beneficiaries would be done by lottery system in urban areas and through grama sabhas in the villages.
As the district officials are empowered to implement the housing scheme, local MLAs are finding it difficult to come up with a satisfactory solution to the problem.The legislators also brought to the notice of KCR and Housing Minister A Indrakaran Reddy to address the issue promptly to pre-empt the onslaught by the Opposition.
