KTR Promises Houses, House Sites To All Eligible Poor

Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development K T Rama Rao said the State government was committed to providing houses or house sites to all the eligible poor people in the State, and that one crore families would benefit.

The cabinet sub-committee on house sites met under the chairmanship of Rao at BRKR Bhavan today. The meeting discussed providing house sites to all the eligible beneficiaries in the state. Issues relating to the implementation of GO 58, GO 59, Sadabinama, notarised documents, endowment / Waqf lands etc were deliberated in the meeting.

On the occasion, the minister directed the officials to come up with a "people first" policy wherein for people below the poverty line who were in occupation of sites for residential purposes, action should be taken to issue house site pattas.

Since the verification process in respect of 20,685 houses had been completed under GO 58, the sub-committee directed the expediting of issuance of house site pattas in those cases.

Referring to notarised documents, which were more prevalent in the urban areas, the sub-committee directed the officials to finalise the procedure in those cases and come up with a time-bound action plan.

The committee requested all officials to take a "pro-poor" approach and expedite the completion of all formalities in all the eligible cases.
