Upon suggestions from MLAs who highlighted the dilapidated condition of the houses, the matter was brought to the attention of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, who then allocated the funds.

As the government is spending Rs. 9100 crores to build double-bedroom houses for the urban poor families, the Minister said that allocating some funds for the benefit of those living in JNNURM and VAMBAY colonies in areas like Bandlaguda was the right move.
