Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the officials to speed up the construction of houses under Pedalandariki Illu scheme, including the 1.24 lakh houses which were recently allocated to the beneficiaries in Visakhapatnam.

He also ordered that the TIDCO houses should have all basic amenities and their registration process must be expedited.

Addressing a review meeting on housing at his camp office near here on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the location of the house sites must be shown to the beneficiaries apart from providing them with the title deeds as per guidelines and as per schedule.

Further, the officials informed Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy that 1.40 lakh houses would be ready in the next 15-20 days. So far, 2,03,920 applicants had been confirmed to be eligible and land deeds were already given to one lakh beneficiaries.
