Govt to complete 1.25 lakh houses by year-end: Kolusu

Housing Minister says target is to complete 7 lakh houses by August next year
The Minister for Housing, Information & Public Relations, Kolusu Parthasarathy, has revealed that his government is targeting to complete 1.25 lakh houses by the end of this year. “However, the government aims to complete around seven lakh houses by August next year,” he said. Also, he pledged to strive to complete the houses sanctioned earlier.
Minister Parthasarathy made a sudden inspection of the housing material godown at the marketing yard at Kankipadu in Krishna district, along with Krishna District Collector DK Balaji, Penamaluru MLA Bode Prasad and State-level Housing officials, on Tuesday.
He verified the stock registers, distribution receipts, material stocks, and other records. Also, he spoke to the Housing officials regarding cement bags, steel, doors and other materials arriving at the stock point and their distribution. Later, officials explained the housing material distribution to the beneficiaries.
Speaking to the media later, Minister Parthasarathy said that the TDP-led NDA government aims to construct houses for all poor people who have no houses by 2029. Also, he asked the beneficiaries to complete their houses by March next year. Otherwise, they may not get any financial support from the government, he warned.
He alleged that the previous YSRCP government deliberately did not allot AP TIDCO houses to beneficiaries, even though they were completed before 2019. He claimed that if the houses had been allocated, Chandrababu Naidu would have earned the credit and so, YSRCP withheld the allotment out of political malice. He assured that his government will complete the TIDCO houses this year
