The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has earmarked
INR 100 crore for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) for renovation and restoration of houses built under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana (Vambay) schemes.
MLAs from Hyderabad limits brought the issue of deteriorating houses in the
two colonies, particularly the ones at Jangammet, Bandlaguda and a few other
localities. They also mentioned the financial constraints of the underprivileged
families and how it was difficult for them to bear the restoration cost.
The state government was investing INR 9,100 crore to build double-bedroom
dignity homes in Hyderabad and they would be distributed for free to the urban
poor.
