The stage is set for inauguration of double bedroom, hall and kitchen (2BHK) houses at Narsapur on the outskirts of the district headquarters town.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is expected to participate in the house warming ceremony of the double bedroom houses, new Collectorate complex and the Commissionerate.
