HYDERABAD: Municipal administration and urban development (MAUD) minister KT Rama Rao on Monday inaugurated and handed over 1,150 2BHK flats to beneficiaries of the 2BHK scheme. The houses, built at a cost of Rs 95.58 crore under the scheme, were handed over to the beneficiaries at Jiyaguda, Ghode Ki Khabar and Kattel Mandi in GHMC Khairatabad zone.
In Jiyaguda, a basti dawakhana, an anganwadi school and a library will dot the newly-constructed housing society.
Speaking on the occasion, KTR said that the pending proposal to build a modern slaughterhouse in Jiyaguda is also being considered. The minister said that though the government is spending Rs 9 lakh for construction of each house, the market value of each house is not less than Rs 40 lakh to Rs 50 lakh and houses will be allocated in a phased manner.
Slamming the opposition, KTR said that the TRS government is ready to put on display one lakh houses being built under the 2BHK housing scheme.
“Some people are resorting to gibberish, they are asking where are the one lakh houses. We will send them the details along with photographs, if needed, we will send them the details through papers too, but we will send them for sure,” said the minister at the inauguration.
Addressing the beneficiaries, KTR said that the houses allotted to the poor by the previous governments were ‘dabba’ (box) houses, due to the small size of the houses.
