Ponguleti hands over sanction letters
Khammam: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, on Wednesday, distributed sanction letters to the Indiramma Housing Scheme beneficiaries of Edulapuram Municipality area along with District Collector Muzammil Khan and Police Commissioner Sunil Dutt. Speaking on the occasion, Ponguleti said that he was moved to tears when he saw the joy on the faces of the beneficiaries, who received the sanction documents on the day. He said that the response from them was overwhelming. He said that attention was paid by previous rulers on MLA residences and government buildings and not to the houses of the poor people. 'Their dream of owning a house was ignored,' he said. The minister said that the government has allocated Rs 22,500 crore this year for the dream of owning a house for the poor people, and that despite financial difficulties, the welfare of the poor is paramount. He said that the government will sanction houses in the first phase to the poor living in huts. The minister said that the houses being provided to the people at present are only the first phase, and that Indiramma houses will be sanctioned every year. 'In total, 520 people in the Yedulapuram Municipality received the documents. There are still those who are eligible, and they will also be given houses soon,' said Ponguleti.

Ponguleti Promises Homes for All Under Indiramma Scheme
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has assured that all eligible people will receive homes under the Indiramma Housing Scheme. He announced that 4.5 lakh houses are being built in the first phase. On Wednesday, he took part in a program at Satyanarayanapuram in Khammam district, where land documents (pattas) were given to beneficiaries. Ponguleti criticized BRS leaders for spreading false claims about the scheme. He said his government is sincere and committed to helping the poor, unlike the previous government. He shared that the government plans to build 20 lakh houses over the next four years. In the Paleru constituency, he promised to give a house to the eldest son in every eligible family. He added that even though the state's financial situation is difficult, the government is still issuing ration cards. So far, 19 lakh new names have been added. Ponguleti accused the previous KCR-led government of pushing Telangana into debt. He said the state now pays ₹6,500 crore in monthly interest on loans taken earlier. He criticized the past government for spending on luxury buildings instead of helping the poor. He said the focus should have been on public welfare, not political gain.

Indiramma Housing Scheme aims to fulfill dreams of all eligible poor people to own a house: Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy
The Indiramma housing programme is a continuous process aimed at fulfilling housing dreams of all eligible poor people in a phased manner across the State, said Minister for Revenue, Housing and Information and Public Relations Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. Despite financial constraints, the People's Government (Congress government) has allocated ₹22,500 crore for the first phase of the Indiramma Housing Scheme this year, he said. He was speaking after handing over sanction letters to the beneficiaries of the Indiramma Housing Scheme under Edulapuram municipal limits in Khammam on Wednesday. As many as 3,500 houses are being sanctioned to each Assembly Constituency in the first phase of the scheme. Additionally, houses are being allocated to Chenchus (one of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups) in a saturation mode. The Minister asserted that the houses are being sanctioned in a transparent manner to deliver the benefits to the deserving poor people. Our government is working with resolute commitment for the welfare of poor and marginalised sections of the society, he said, adding that it was the aim of the Congress government to construct 20 lakh Indiramma houses to fulfill the dreams of all homeless poor people to own a house in a phased manner. The BRS government belied the aspirations of homeless poor people by depriving them of a roof over their heads during its nearly 10-year rule, he charged. Khammam Collector Muzammil Khan and Commissioner of Police Sunil Dutt, among others were present. Later, the Minister laid foundation stones for various road works in Khammam rural mandal.

A lifelong dream of 25 nomadic families comes true
A Revanth Reddy, who launched the Indiramma Housing Scheme to provide homes to the most marginalised. In the scheme's first phase, Telakantigudem was sanctioned 107 houses, including all 25 Vaddera families. Their joy is evident as construction begins. Renuka Komarraju, a stone-breaker and mother of two, said: 'We've lived under a tarpaulin sheet on government land for 10 years. When it rains or storms, we run home from work to fix our hut. We applied many times for a double-bedroom house but never got it. This time, the government sanctioned us a house on the same land. We've already finished the basement and received `1 lakh from the government. It has reached roof level now. This monsoon, we won't have to worry. We can finally go to work in peace.' Shobha Rani, a postgraduate beneficiary who works as a daily wage labourer, said, 'Our old hut burned down, and we've lived in one room at my brother's house for 12 years. When I heard about the Indiramma scheme, I applied and was sanctioned a house. We've begun construction and received `1 lakh after completing the basement. For us, this is a lifelong dream coming true.' Interestingly, many of the beneficiaries are building their homes on government land. In three locations across Telakantigudem, clusters of Indiramma houses are rising — 22 in one spot, eight in another — while others are constructing on their own plots.

State reaps bumper paddy crop: Sridhar Babu
Karimnagar: IT and Industries Minister Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu said that the paddy procurement process in the joint Karimnagar district was carried out in a well-organised manner. He said that due to the efficiency of the government, the State witnessed bumper crop, and a large-scale purchase was also made at the same level. Sridhar Babu along with Transport Minister Prabhakar and Power Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy participated in a meeting held in the district on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion Sridhar Babu said that Rs 51 crore have been released as compensation of Rs 10, 000 per acre to farmers who lost their crops due to untimely rains. He said that even soaked paddy will be purchased at the support price and that farmers need not worry. He said that necessary tarpaulin covers should be made available at the purchase centers so that farmers do not suffer due to untimely rains. The minister said that steps are being taken to prevent any loss to the patta holders under the Bhu Bharati Act. Patta holders should also be given names that were changed in the past by terrorising them. Just like a person has an Aadhaar card, the land will be provided with the survey number, ownership, extension and boundary details. Minister Prabhakar said that during the previous regime, farmers faced many problems in the name of weighing at rice mills, but currently there is no problem anywhere in the joint Karimnagar district. He asked for the speedy completion of project works like Malakpet, Suramma, Mothe Narayanpur, Gauravelli and Devadula. He said that the districts of Bhupalpally, Hanumakonda and Siddipet will come under the joint Karimnagar district and the officials should also invite the respective district Collectors to the joint district review meetings. He said that there is no scope for corruption in the implementation of the Indiramma Housing Scheme. The government will sanction 3,500 houses for the constituency. The programmes implemented by the government should be taken to the people in a positive manner. Prabhakar said that the previous BRS government in Karimnagar Husnabad constituency was negligent in the construction of Indiramma Houses. Even the construction of hundreds of houses was not completed in a period of ten years. The Congress government is allocating 3500 houses to each constituency.
