Chief Minister Revanth Reddy promises better life for urban poor

Revanth lays stone for Indiramma Towers in Kukatpally, which envisages affordable housing for poor with four 10-storey towers coming up – each tower having 120 houses with 12 flats on each floor; on the issue of disputes over lands under Section 22, he says no one will lose ownership

On Friday evening in Hyderabad, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid the foundation stone for Indiramma Towers in Kukatpally, highlighting the government's achievements aimed at improving the lives of urban poor. The CM criticized opposition parties while outlining several initiatives, including the distribution of 200 units of free electricity, benefiting nearly 55 lakh families and resulting in substantial savings for them.

The Indiramma Towers project aims to provide affordable housing for impoverished citizens by constructing four 10-storey towers with a total of 120 houses each. The Chief Minister emphasized that the earlier government had promised housing for the poor but located them far from the city, making their survival financially challenging due to long commutes.

By building these houses within the city, Revanth Reddy expressed his commitment to ensuring a better life for urban poor. Highlighting women's empowerment schemes, the CM announced the distribution of 'Indiramma Saris', free bus travel for women on RTC buses, bank-linked loans for self-help groups, ownership of buses by these groups, and stalls at Shilparamam for selling their products.

Revanth Reddy also assured citizens that no one would lose their land ownership rights, and they should not be concerned about prohibited lands, dismissing false propaganda spread on social media.
