Cabinet ratifies decision to provide 3,500 housing units to poor in each constituency

The State Cabinet has resolved to provide 3,500 housing units each in all the Assembly constituencies to the poor under the Indiramma housing scheme.

The State Cabinet which met here under the chairmanship of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has approved sanction of 4.5 lakh housing units, with an estimated outlay of ₹22,500 crore, to the poor irrespective of their party affiliations. The State Cabinet has also decided to sanction white ration cards to eligible beneficiaries, the process for which will commence soon.

The white ration cards would not be linked with the Arogya Sri benefits and they would henceforth be used exclusively for obtaining essentials at subsidised prices. Ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, D. Sridhar Babu and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy briefed reporters about the decisions of the State Cabinet on Tuesday.
