Loans on priority to allottees of houses under JNNURM
GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu recently said that
bank loans would be made available on a priority to persons allotted
houses in the colonies developed under the JNNURM scheme and
contributing 10 per cent of unit cost.
Announcing the
successful signing of a memorandum between the banks and the APUFIDC
for sanctioning a loan of up to Rs. 80,000 for each beneficiary, he
pointed out that 19,1919 have already handed over their 10 per cent
contributions of the 21,594 chosen.
Directive to SBH
The
government has released Rs. 102 crore through a Government Order, which
in turn, has settled the problem of drinking water connectivity to the
various housing colonies for the poor which are well outside the
geographical circle of the municipal corporation.
The
Commissioner directed SBH officials to designate certain banks as
JNNURM banks for Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy and Medak districts in order to
sanction bank loans. The engineering officials concerned were directed
to make available the necessary details and maps to agencies like the
A.P Industrial Technical Consultancy Organisation (APITCO) to help
document the work of loan disbursal.
Hyderabad, Ranga
Reddy and Medak Collectors are to issue notices to allottees to pay up
the remaining amount before September-end or face the prospect of the
unit being allocated to another person. A few houses could be spared for
accommodating the people being evicted from the storm water drains too
as a means of rehabilitation.
Slum dwellers paying
the 10 per cent contribution should be identified in Hyderabad district
so that the in-situ construction of new dwelling can be taken up, he
said.
