JNNURM houses only for those eligible: Collector

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: District Collector Natarajan Gulzar categorically stated that the houses constructed at Afzal Sagar in Nampally mandal under JNNURM scheme would be allotted only to the eligible.

Responding to a representation from Gangaputra Society at the weekly face to face programme at the district Collectorate here Monday, Mr. Natarajan said the Tahsildar and the housing department have already conducted an enquiry, and that the houses allotted to the ineligible would be reassigned to the poor and those eligible under the scheme.

Members of Gangaputra Society alleged that some of the houses were allotted to those not eligible under the scheme.

Encroachment

They also brought to his attention the encroachment of 5.38 acres of the society's land by some washer men.

The Collector said he would enquire into the matter. In a press release, he further added that the houses under Rajiv Swagruha scheme would be allotted in a linear fashion, one after the other.

Vacant posts

Taking cognisance of the 105 posts which are lying vacant for being filled up on compassionate grounds, he asked the officials to bring the relevant files to the next meeting.

Fifteen cases relating to grant of pension were also brought to his notice at the meeting.
