​Hyderabad: Minister for Municipal Administration &Urban Development KT Rama Rao said the State government had taken up construction of 2.5 lakh double-bedroom houses, including one lakh in Hyderabad, at a cost of Rs 18,000 crore and added that no other State government in the entire country had taken up such a big two-BHK housing scheme on such a massive scale.
In Hyderabad, already tenders for 40,000 houses were finalised and works were in progress. Tenders for the rest of 60,000 houses would be finalised in two months or by the end of August, he added.
The Minister laid the foundation stone for 126 double-bedroom houses at Lambadi Thanda, Baghlingampally here on Friday morning. He said the houses were being constructed at a cost of over Rs 10 crore.
Construction would be completed within 10 months. Possession certificates were already handed over to the beneficiaries. A list of beneficiaries was available with local corporator and legislator for the convenience of beneficiaries.
The Minister said that the double-bedroom houses were a matter of self-respect. In the past, governments constructed houses but the poor were made to bear a portion of construction cost, besides making them run around banks for loans.
But the Telangana government was not taking a single penny from the beneficiaries and was bearing the entire cost, he said. Each double-bedroom house was being constructed at a cost of about Rs 8.65 lakh but the market value of the houses after completion would not be less than Rs 30 lakh, he explained.
Rama Rao said the government was trying its best to provide and supply cement at Rs 230 per bag and also maximum concession rates for steel for which the government was planning to conduct a meeting with the industries concerned for the supply of the same on priority.
Speaking on the occasion, Home Minister Naini Narsimha Reddy said Lambadi Thanda in Baghlingampally would be transformed into Bombay Thanda. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government was committed for the welfare of SC, STs and plans were being made to increase the reservation of STs to 10 percent from the existing six percent, he informed.
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner BJanardhan Reddy said the nine-floor structure would be equipped with lift and parking facilities.
There would be eight shops in the ground floor and the rent generated from these shops would be utilised towards lift and other maintenance, he added. Musheerabad MLA K Laxman and others spoke on the occasion.
