Poor's blessings are behind Indiramma govt: Ponguleti
Nelakondapalli ( Khammam): The Indiramma government has been formed with the blessings of the poor, said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy while addressing at a ration card distribution event held at the Agricultural Market Yard in Nelakondapalli on Wednesday. Criticising the previous government, the Minister said that not a single new ration card was issued in the last ten years, which caused hardships to millions of poor families. In contrast, the current government has added 16 lakh beneficiaries to the ration card system, he emphasized. Highlighting key welfare measures, he noted that fine rice is now being distributed, and bonus payments of Rs 500 per quintal is being given to farmers. The government has already waived Rs 21,000 crore in farm loans within ten months. Focusing on women's welfare, the Minister said that Rs 5,000 crore is being spent additionally for free bus travel for women. 'We aim to make one crore women millionaires,' he declared. Speaking about the Indiramma Housing scheme, he assured that funds are being credited to beneficiaries's accounts every Monday, and houses will be distributed in three phases. 'It is my responsibility to ensure every eligible family gets a house. I will stand with the poor like their elder son,' he said. The event was attended by Irrigation Development Corporation Chairman Muvva Vijay Babu, district Collector Anudeep Durishetty, and DCCB Director Tulluri Brahmaiah, among others.

ESR's claim of beneficiaries of property tax discount for green building norms compliance doubling under PMC questioned
1 2 Pune: PMC's latest Environment Status Report (ESR), published on Tuesday, shows that the beneficiaries of its 'green building norm property tax discount' doubled in the last six years. However, are these effects reflecting on ground? This is the question being asked by citizens, activists and experts, while demanding better scrutiny of compliance from the civic administration. The 'green discount' of 5-10% in property tax is offered to property owners who have installed solar and vermicomposting systems. Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) ESR data states that around 86,000 property owners benefited from it in 2019-20, rising to around 1.5 lakh in 2024-25. Beneficiaries crossed the 1-lakh milestone in 2020-21 for the first time and remained above this mark till the last financial year (FY).

Refuting this, PMC officials claimed they conduct surprise checks and direct property owners to maintain the facilities if any shortcomings are found during the visits. As per PMC data, civic areas hosted around 8.5 lakh properties prior to 2017. After the merger of 11 villages, this increased to around 10 lakh. Thereafter, nearly 2 lakh properties were added to the tax ambit of PMC after the merger of 23 villages in 2021. At present, the total number of properties under PMC limits is at least 12.5 lakh. PMC set a target of Rs2,492.83 crore in revenue from building permissions for FY 2024-25, and a similar expectation of Rs2,549.79 crore from the property tax department. Interestingly, while the property tax department mopped up around Rs2,360 crore in this fiscal, the building permissions department surpassed its collection as well as its own target, drawing in around Rs2,600 crore. In the previous 2023-24 fiscal as well, the building permissions department earned over Rs2,300 crore, surging ahead of property tax collections of around Rs2,268 crore. Amid the evident rise in building permissions in the city, activists are insisting that vigilance must be heightened to ensure green compliance. Social activist Vijay Kumbhar said that PMC needs to ensure regular inspections. "The civic body made this installation of green facilities compulsory, so many societies have done it. Now, PMC should make sure these are functional," he told TOI. Suhas Patwardhan, chairman of the Pune District Co-Operative Housing Federation, echoed, "These facilities are the need of the hour. They are not only helping housing societies but are also good for the environment by reducing use of fossil fuels. Our organisation creates awareness to promote such facilities in societies. However, the implementation definitely lacks consistency." Avinash Sakpal, head of PMC's property tax department, told TOI, "The civic administration carries out surveys annually with the help of ward offices. If any property owner is found to have failed in maintaining the facilities, health officials of ward offices submit reports, and the tax discount is scrapped accordingly."
