A woman from Kota (K) village in Sonala mandal, Adilabad district, has accused a contractor of using substandard materials to build her house under the Indiramma housing scheme and then coercing her family to sign a promissory note for Rs 6.30 lakh.

Adilabad: A beneficiary of the Indiramma housing scheme alleged that a contractor built their house with poor quality, but was forcing them to sign a promissory note for payment of Rs 6.30 lakh instead of the estimated cost of Rs 5 lakh at Kota (K) village in Sonala mandal on Thursday.

The beneficiary Lokande Deeksha told reporters that the contractor Kamble Satyanarayana was harassing her husband Maruthi demanding Rs 1 lakh which was sanctioned (correction) under the housing scheme. She accused Satyanarayana of threatening to raze her house if they refused to pay.
