The Story in Brief
Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy on Monday handed over 394 double-bedroom houses to beneficiaries in Kamalapur mandal of Hanumakonda district under the Indiramma Housing Scheme. He said the government was committed to housing every eligible poor family, with no discrimination on caste, religion or political affiliation.
Around 35,000 unfinished houses across the state are being completed, the minister said. Under the scheme, 4.5 lakh houses are sanctioned in the first phase and 2.5 lakh in the second. Each house gets Rs 5 lakh in instalments, transferred directly to beneficiaries' accounts based on construction progress. Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, MLAs Kaushik Reddy and Naini Rajender Reddy, and District Collector Chahat Bajpai attended the event.
The Indian Opinion
The Indiramma housing drive sounds generous, but the test is delivery, not announcements. Telangana has a history of welfare schemes that look good on paper yet stall in execution. Watch whether the 35,000 unfinished houses are actually completed and the 4.5 lakh first-phase sanctions turn into bank transfers. The minister's promise of no discrimination is easy to make, harder to prove. Will the next phase be sanctioned on time, or will funds dry up as they have before? That is the number that will settle this story.
