Indiramma houses: Telangana finalises beneficiaries, begins construction
Hyderabad: Telangana housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said the state govt has finalised the list of 2.10 lakh beneficiaries for sanctioning the Indiramma houses, and construction of 24,000 houses had already begun.
He mentioned that about 100 houses were in the final stages of construction and were ready for inauguration.
During an informal chat with media personnel on Friday, the minister stated that the state govt was giving priority to the opposition party MLAs' assembly constituencies as well, and the MLAs were asked to provide the list of beneficiaries. "Of the total houses allotted, 40% will be allocated based on the recommendations of the respective MLAs, and the rest will be selected by the Indiramma committees," the minister said.
He added that the govt also asked Sircilla MLA and ex-minister KTR to provide the list of beneficiaries, but he did not want to give any recommendation.
Srinivas Reddy mentioned that of the total houses, about 9,200 would be given to Chenchu tribals in the agency areas, adding that chief minister A Revanth Reddy wanted more allocations to these areas. The housing minister said the state govt was considering constructing multi-storey buildings (G+4) for slum dwellers in the identified 16 locations in Hyderabad and other major towns like Warangal, Nalgonda, Karimnagar, Mahabubnagar, and Nizamabad.
He also stated that the govt would soon constitute a price fixation committee for Indiramma houses.

Face-to-face programme flooded with requests for more Indiramma houses in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: Applications for Indiramma houses within the Greater Hyderabad limits flooded the face-to-face programme conducted by BC welfare and city in charge minister, Ponnam Prabhakar, at the Gandhi Bhavan on Wednesday. A majority of the people who came to the programme were from the state capital, with a few from neighbouring districts. The people urged Ponnam to sanction Indiramma houses and requested that he ask the chief minister to increase the quota of Indiramma houses for the poor in the city. The state govt sanctioned 3,500 Indiramma houses for each of the 119 assembly constituencies in the state in the first phase of the programme. Speaking to TOI, Ponnam Prabhakar said there was a lot of demand for housing in Greater Hyderabad and the Congress govt was committed to ensuring that every eligible poor family gets an Indiramma house in a phased manner. "Lakhs of applications were received during the Praja Palana programme for the Indiramma housing scheme, but field-level inquiries and document verification by the officials revealed that only 18,000 families have house sites (land). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Council or Housing Association Tenant?

The minister received over 100 petitions, in addition to grievances and requests submitted orally to him during the face-to-face programme, which was revived after a few months. The programme was stopped midway without any reasons given, but sources in Gandhi Bhavan said it was due to MLC elections and other factors. It has been revived now after TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud spoke to the chief minister and also AICC in charge Meenakshi Natarajan. The AICC in charge also participated briefly in the face-to-face session and interacted with the people about the problems they were facing in getting their grievances addressed by the officials. Applications for jobs, loans for self-employment schemes, resolutions to land encroachments and disputes, new ration cards, inclusion of names on existing cards, allocation of pending allotment of 2-BHK houses, inclusion of names in the free electricity scheme, and other welfare programmes were submitted to the minister. A delegation of the Telangana Udyama Karula Forum told TOI that they urged Ponnam Prabhakar to remind the TPCC president and the CM about the Congress election manifesto, which promised a house site and a monthly pension to those who fought for statehood. They urged Ponnam to speak to the CM and ensure that a committee is constituted to identify all such Udyama Karulu. "It is not only about the monthly honorarium and house site, but mainly about acknowledgement that we fought and achieved statehood. The govt should give us a memento or certificate, which we will display in our houses and offices as a mark of pride and self-respect that we were at the forefront of the statehood agitation," said forum leader Taduri Gagan Kumar.

Congress promises Indiramma houses for every village
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Wednesday said that just like there was no village in Telangana without a Hanuman temple, the Congress govt will ensure that there will be no village in the state without Indiramma houses. He termed BRS MLC K Kavitha's letter to her father and the following developments, like staging dharnas and strengthening Telangana Jagruthi, as a storm in a teacup. "Kavitha is doing all this as part of a family drama to stay relevant on the political turf of Telangana and gain control of BRS party affairs. The Congress is least bothered about the Kavitha-KCR family drama," he said. Mahesh Kumar said that the PC Ghose commission can call anyone to appear before it if it thinks they were connected to the Kaleshwaram irrigation project case. "KCR spent people's money like water on Kaleshwaram. The people, particularly farmers, would have been happy if the previous BRS govt gave water from the Kaleshwaram project, on which it spent nearly 1 lakh crore," he claimed. Later, Mahesh Goud, along with AICC in charge of Telangana Meenakshi Natarajan, held a meeting with party coordinators and PCC observers for the Jai Bheem, Jai Bapu, and Jai Samvidhan programme of the AICC. IT minister D Sridhar Babu and MLC Addanki Dayakar also participated. The discussions focused on organisational strengthening and future action plans to organise the Jai Bheem, Jai Bapu, and Jai Samvidhan rallies and other programmes in the state.
