State government providing houses to beneficiaries by taking just one rupee
Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Adimulapu Suresh has said that the State government is constructing over 2.62 lakh AP TIDCO houses to fulfil people’s dreams of having their own houses. The beneficiaries are getting 300 sq ft houses for only one rupee, he said.

Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that out of 2.62 lakh houses, construction of 50,000 houses had already been completed and they were handed over to the beneficiaries. The rest of the houses would be handed over after setting up all the facilities at the TIDCO colonies. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will hand over around 9,000 houses at Gudivada, he said.
He said that local MLA Kodali Sri Venkateswara Rao (Nani) and the District Collector were focusing on completing the construction of the houses and added that the TIDCO colony would be turned into a township.
