Top priority should be given to development of basic infrastructure in Jagananna Colony layouts, he said.

Taking stock of the progress of the construction of houses at a review meeting held in his camp office at Tadepalli on Monday, the Chief Minister asked the officials to ensure that all the resources required for the construction work are available in the housing layouts. It should also be seen whether or not brick kilns are set up in the vicinity of layouts.  

The officials should get clarity on the house sites, which are in litigation, by the end of July and come up with alternative plans by the first week of August. Electrical fittings and other fixtures in the houses should be of high quality. The officials should keep a tab on every level of house construction, he asserted.
