Two BHK beneficiaries stage protest in Nagarkurnool

The past government had constructed 240 double bedroom houses and the beneficiaries were allotted houses through a lucky draw. However, in the guise of taking up minor balance works, officials in the district were not permitting the beneficiaries to occupy the houses.

The issue was taken up with officials and elected public representatives in Kalwakurthy, besides staging demonstrations. Yet, the officials were not permitting the beneficiaries to occupy the houses.

The beneficiaries protested in front of the Collectorate complex and submitted a representation to the Collector. If the district administration fails to address the issue at the earliest, the protests would be intensified, the beneficiaries said.
