Congress Pushes for G+3 Apartments in Hyderabad Slums with Indiramma Housing Scheme

Time of Indiaa day ago
HYDERABAD: The Congress govt is actively identifying litigation-free land in Greater Hyderabad and other major towns across Telangana to roll out its ambitious Indiramma housing scheme, which will feature G+3 apartment buildings to address urban housing shortages.

The move comes amid a growing demand from economically weaker sections for housing within city limits, rather than on the outskirts. Based on previous experience-where low-income families refused to relocate to remote housing colonies-the govt has decided to construct apartment blocks at existing slum locations where people have lived for decades.
The housing department has so far identified 16 slums in Hyderabad for potential development.
However, only a few, such as Saraladevi Nagar near IS Sadan and an area near Dilsukhnagar, have clear, dispute-free land. The rest are entangled in local disputes, court cases, or land ownership issues, officials said.
"We want to ensure that housing is created where people already live and work," said housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. "Because of the limited availability of land in cities, we have chosen the G+3 model to maximise space while ensuring urban poor families don't have to move away from their livelihoods," he claimed.
To support this, officials from housing, revenue, municipal bodies, and district collectorates have been directed to identify at least 600 square yards of vacant, litigation-free land in each location. Such plots would be sufficient to build 16 housing units per block under the G+3 design, officials said.
The govt has already sanctioned 3,500 housing units for each of the 119 assembly constituencies, and lakhs of applications have been filed from urban areas like Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal Malkajgiri.

AIUDF will fight 2026 assembly elections alone, says Jania MLA

1 2 Guwahati: All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has decided not to forge an alliance with any political party for the assembly elections to be held early next year and fight the battle of ballots alone. The organising secretary of the party and MLA of Jania assembly constituency, Hafiz Rafiqul Islam, said except the 2021 assembly elections, the party fought the previous three assembly elections alone. "Similarly, the party has decided to fight the ensuing elections alone, and party president Badruddin Ajmal has approved the decision," he added. However, he said the party will consider it later if any political party comes forward with a proposal of alliance. "AIUDF will not send any proposal for an alliance to any political party," he added. Islam, who is also a member of the 126-member legislative assembly, said the party will contest only 35 out of 126 seats. Since it will contest 35 seats, the party will step into the electoral battleground with new energy and full focus. AIUDF, which was a partner in the Congress-led Mahajot, contested in 20 seats in the 2021 assembly elections and won 16 of them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

"The party has a good position in the Bodoland Territorial Region at present, which indicates that we will be able to score well in the BTC elections," he added. He said, the party headquarters has received a number of applications seeking tickets for the BTC elections. "Regarding all these decisions of the executive meeting, which was held a few days ago, we met Badruddin Ajmal on Wednesday. He has given approval to the decisions," Islam added.

‘Equip Israel with bunker busters': US lawmakers push bill to arm Tel Aviv if Iran goes nuclear - The Economic Times Video

Amid rising tensions with Iran, a new bipartisan bill in the U.S. Congress proposes authorizing the transfer of B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs to Israel if Iran resumes its nuclear weapons program. Backed by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Mike Lawler (R-NY), the proposed Bunker Buster Act would give President Donald Trump authority to equip Israel with advanced weaponry to counter Iran's nuclear threat.
