‘Telangana govt will provide Rs 5 lakh for house construction in own plots’

Jagtial: Welfare Minister Koppula Eashwar said on Thursday that facilitating the poor to live with dignity in double bedroom houses was the main aim of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in implementing the 2BHK scheme.

Speaking after inauguration 65 double bedroom houses in Nukapalli of Malyala mandal, Eashwar said though there was a huge demand for double bedroom houses from the public, the construction was delayed due to various reasons. Besides non-availability of land, contractors were not coming forward to construct houses. In the wake of huge demand from the public, the Chief Minister was going to launch a new scheme under which the government will sanction Rs five lakh to people having their own plot to construct houses, he said.

Stating that the launch of the new scheme was delayed due to financial problems on account of Covid pandemic, he said it would be launched soon. “Last year, Chandrashekhar Rao allocated Rs 11,000 crore for the housing scheme. Steps have been taken to develop villages across the state,” he said adding that drinking water was also being supplied to each and every house. Nurseries, dumping yards, tractors, and graveyards were also developed in all villages. Green cover has been enhanced in the state due to the Haritha Haram progrmme taken up in a big way.

Telangana was the only state which was implementing innovative schemes such as pensions, kalyanalaxmi, shadi mubharak, KCR kit, rythu bandhu, rythu bima, 24 hours free current and others.

The Chief Minister has designed Dalit Bandhu scheme for the uplifment of dalit communities in the state and Huzurabad constituency as well as four other mandals has been selected to implement the scheme on pilot basis.

Local MLA Sunke Ravishankar said while the State government was taking steps for the welfare of farmers, the Union government was implementing anti-farmers’ policies.

The Chief Minister was working hard to fulfill the poor people’s dream of staying in double bedroom houses, he said and informed them to complete 200 houses each in Choppadandi and Arnakonda by February next year.

The Chief Minister has assured to sanction 2,000 more houses to Choppadandi constituency. Drainage, drinking water, roads and other basic facilities would be arranged in the newly constructed houses.

Informing that the flood flow canal has turned alive with the construction of Kaleshwaram project, he said farmers of six mandals were getting sufficient water.

Paddy has not been purchased in BJP and congress ruled states. However, the Telangana government procured each and every grain produced by the farmers despite the corona pandemic.

While the state government was supplying 24 hours current to the agriculture sector free of cost, the central government was trying to fix meters to agricultural pump sets. Though adjacent Andhra Pradesh has already started fixing meters, Chandrashekhar Rao refused to fix meters.

The Union government was trying to continue its hegemony on irrigation projects constructed across Krishna and Godavari rivers by spending crores of rupees. Power cuts have been implemented in some states due to shortage of coal. However, there was no such situation in Telangana.

Later, they participated in a community lunch along with beneficiaries. Zilla Parishad Chairperson Dava Vasantha, Collector G Ravi and others participated in the programme.
