G+3 Indiramma Houses In Urban Areas: Minister

Telangana Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy today announced that following the success of the Indiramma Housing project in rural areas, the State government was focusing on housing development in urban regions.

In the initial phase, the government planned to construct houses in urban areas, particularly in the slums of Hyderabad, using a G+3 model designed for low-income residents, Reddy said.

During a review meeting on the ongoing Indiramma Housing construction held at the Secretariat, the minister directed officials to take steps to implement the project in towns across Telangana.

He said that 16 slums in Hyderabad had been prioritised in the first phase, and the initiative would be expanded to Warangal, Nizamabad, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Karimnagar and other towns.

The minister also announced that a total of 13,266 Indiramma Houses had been sanctioned for the Chenchu, Kolam, Thoti, and Kondareddy tribes in the four ITDA regions - Bhadrachalam, Utnoor, Eturunagaram and Munnanur - who had long been deprived of proper housing. 8,750 houses also had been allocated to 16 ST constituencies in Telangana, bringing the total number of approved Indiramma Houses for tribal communities across the State to 22,016, he added.

The Minister instructed officials to maintain continuous oversight of the housing construction to ensure alignment with the government's objectives and to act proactively in the allocation and building of homes.
