Ministers T Srinivas Yadav and Mahmood Ali today said that as many as 4,358 double bedroom housing units would be offered free to deserving families in 21 places in the city by the coming Dasara festival.
They were speaking in the city after a review meeting on the progress of the TRS government's flagship housing scheme.
The two ministers said that the houses were getting ready with all the specified facilities, and would be handed over to the poor as planned.
"We have asked the officials for speedy completion of the houses," they said.
The housing units fully completed are 840 in Jiyaguda, 112 in Kattela Mandi and 182 in Ghode Ki Khabar.
The ministers added that Rs 812 crore were being spent to complete 7,455 more housing units for the poor in 35 places. Most of them too were close to completion, and would be offered by the TRS government soon, they said.
It may be recalled that KCR had promised 1,00,000 free 2 BHK houses for the poor when he first campaigned for power before the 2014 elections.
