Mr. Ramakrishnudu said the the new housing policy had been finalised, under which the State government would allocate Rs. 2.25 lakh per unit to the beneficiaries towards the cost of construction, instead of hiring contractors and paying them Rs. 2.75 lakh per unit. “Despite having a deficit budget, we are not compromising on implementing welfare schemes. As the burden of debts has been increasing manifold, it is time the Union government reacted swiftly and allocated funds to the State,” he said.
