HYDERABAD: A home to call one's own happens to be the dream of everyone and the State government was committed to the promise of fulfilling this aspiration, Minister for Home P. Sabita Indra Reddy said here on Sunday.
Participating in the foundation-laying ceremony of housing colonies under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) at Gurubrahma Nagar, Jubilee Hills, the Minister said more than 78,000 houses were being taken up in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) jurisdiction. On Sunday, foundation stone was laid for 272 dwellings at Gurubrahma Nagar and 256 houses at Dhobighat, together being taken up at a cost of Rs.18.09 crore.
In his address, Minister for Health and Family Welfare D. Nagender said the government's various initiatives on social welfare front had the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in jitters. “The TDP seeks to question installation of YSR's statues but they have no right to question it,” he said.
All amenities
Mayor Banda Karthika Chandra Reddy promised to ensure that all amenities were provided in these housing colonies and asked the GHMC to have the work completed expeditiously. Though the Chief Minister K. Rosaiah was to participate in the function, he did not turn up and Mr. Nagender informed the absence as doctor's advice for rest. Those present on the occasion included the Member of Parliament, Anjan Kumar Yadav and GHMC Commissioner, Sameer Sharma.
