Prajavani 2BHK families seek extension of move-in date due to kids’ exams 

Family members of those allotted 2BHK houses requested an extension of the move-in date due to the distance from schools and ongoing exams for their children. A total of 450 grievance applications were submitted at Prajavani on Tuesday at the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Praja Bhavan.
When asked, Mohammad Shafi from Bazar Ghat shared that he and his family were allotted double-bedroom houses in Kullur, with instructions from municipal authorities to move in by December 31. However, Shafi explained that relocating now would disturb his children’s studies, as they are currently attending school in the city and have upcoming exams. He added that shifting to Kullur would force them to travel long distances daily, affecting their exam preparation.
In response to this issue, Shafi filed a grievance at the Prajavani, requesting an extension until the exams are over. Along with 10 other families facing the same problem, he appealed for more time to move into their new homes. He stated that they are expecting a positive response from the officials.
Meanwhile, Yasmeen Begum from Nampally came for updates on her application for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) housing scheme. She noted that despite following all procedures and submitting the required documents, municipal officials informed her there was no record of her application. Yasmeen had filed a written complaint and was asked to resubmit her application, but received no positive response.
As a 60-year-old daily wage worker relying on her handcart for income, Yasmeen said that the repeated application process is causing financial strain. She also pointed out that she has not received any pension benefits, relief on electricity or gas bills, or any housing assistance despite being eligible. Yasmeen urged the authorities to speed up the process of her PMAY application for sanction of welfare schemes.
According to the officials, 150 applications were received for Panchayati Raj and Rural Development, 119 for Power, 68 for Revenue, 2 for Pravasi and 113 for other departments.
