Indiramma houses in G+3 buildings for poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad: Telangana Revenue Minister
Telangana government would construct Indiramma houses in ground-plus-three-storey buildings for the poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad. Similar course of action is being formulated for other districts. People were unwilling to shift to houses constructed on the outskirts of the State capital as they would lose livelihood. Considering this, a decision was taken to construct houses in the localities, said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy. Besides Hyderabad, it would be implemented in Warangal, Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Karimnagar and other urban localities. Though 42,000 houses were constructed away from Hyderabad, only 19,000 chose to occupy them. Recent field level inspection revealed that only 13,000 are living there, said Mr. Reddy at a review meeting on the Indiramma Houses held on Friday (June 6, 2025). The focus of providing the houses shifted ti the poor in the urban localities after the scheme was streamlined in rural Telangana. Around 10.71 lakh applications for the houses were received from 150 divisions in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). It was learnt that around seven lakh were found to be eligible for the houses.

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.

Drone-based survey to be part of Bhu Bharati pilot project
KHAMMAM: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Tuesday described the Bhu Bharati initiative as a historic and rare legal reform in Indian history. He said that the law's primary objective is to comprehensively survey agricultural lands, clearly define boundaries and resolve all disputes related to land ownership. The deputy CM, along with Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao, formally launched the Bhu Bharati survey pilot project at Mulugumadu village under the Madhira Assembly constituency. The trio initiated a drone-based survey in the village as part of the launch. The state government has chosen five villages for the pilot phase of the Bhu Bharati initiative, with Mulugumadu being one among them in Khammam district. The survey process involves the use of drones to map land boundaries, satellite imaging to gather geospatial data, and the application of DGPS (Differential GPS) and rovers to assess ground reality. Officials will demarcate the boundaries of lands and villages using GPS technology, and prepare LPMs (land parcel maps) and nakshas (revenue maps). The government has identified approximately 413 villages in the state that currently lack land records, maps, and clearly defined borders. The Bhu Bharati pilot will focus on such villages, aiming to create comprehensive records and provide legal assurance to farmers regarding their land holdings. D Srinivas, assistant director of Lands and Surveys for Khammam district, explained that the entire land in these pilot villages will be mapped and every farmer will receive a unique QR code to access their land details. He said that the full survey process is expected to be completed within 20 days.

Minister asks engineers to complete Palair UT work on a war-footing to give water by July 10
HYDERABAD Minister for Revenue, Housing and Public Relations Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has instructed the irrigation authorities of Khammam district to complete the work of under tunnel (UT) to carry water from Nagarjunasagar Left Canal to Palair reservoir on a war-footing so that water could be released by July 10 this year. During the surprise inspection of the ongoing construction work on Friday, he said completion of the work would ensure reliable water supply to about 4 lakh acres ayacut in Khammam district by carrying Nagarjunsagar water to Palair reservoir from the coming Kharif season itself. He inspected the work at Jujjularaopeta in Kusumanchi mandal. Speaking at the site, he said the UT of the main canal carrying water from Nagarjunasagar Left Canal to Palair reservoir was washed away in the heavy rains in September last year. Some temporary arrangements were made to give water to the ayacut last year. The construction of new UT along with repairs to the main canal was taken up with ₹14.2 crore. The Palair reservoir would serve an ayacut of 4 lakh acres in Khammam district, including 1.33 lakh acres in Palair constituency itself, he stated. The Minister asked the engineers to execute work in two shifts every day for its speedy completion, keeping in mind the rainy season ahead.
