Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has made scathing remarks against people, who were reportedly opposing housing in the R-5 zone in Amaravati. Hurdles were being created by a certain section of people with a view to deny houses for the poor, he said.
Chairing a review meeting on housing at his camp office at Tadepalli, near here, on Thursday, the Chief Minister said that some sections of people did not want the government to provide housing for the poor in the R-5 zone. Several people had joined hands and filed petitions in the court only to hit the poor below the belly. Necessary legal action should be taken to tide over the problem, he said. He urged the officials to expedite the construction of houses with a strong resolve.
Mr. Jagan made these observations when the officials told him that the court cases were coming in the way of construction of houses.
