2BHK HOUSING DEADLINE DEFERRED TO MARCH 2019

The Telangana state government’s flagship double bedroom housing project for urban poor in the city would miss its deadline due to delay in sand supply and steel price hike. Officials claimed that even though the target was to complete the construction of 2BHK houses by December 2018, due to multiple reasons the deadline to finish construction has been postponed to March next year.

According to GHMC officials, the corporation would complete the construction of about 80 per cent of the houses by December and remaining would be completed by March.

The 2BHK project at Kollur in Sangareddy district and at other two locations will be completed by March this year as the tender agreement is for 15 months.

Meanwhile, a total of 1 lakh houses are proposed to be built in the city. The civic body has acquired 650 acres of land at Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medchal and Sangareddy districts and has invited tenders to construct the houses.

Each 560 sq.ft unit home with two bedrooms, two toilets, kitchen and hall will be handed over free of cost. The corporation will construct 90,000 2BHK houses at 69 locations where vacant land is available. Another 10,000 units will be constructed by redeveloping 40 slums.
