Telangana govt plans to reclaim unoccupied double-bedroom houses

Double bedroom houses allottees, especially those who have not occupied their units, are likely to lose them as the State Government is planning to take back the possession of such units.

The past Government had constructed 15,660 double bedroom houses at Kollur at a cost of nearly Rs.1485 crore. However, of these about 6,500 houses are yet to be occupied by the allottees.

Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has now said that a majority of the allottees were living in different areas and were not willing to shift to



Kollur.

For instance, under Jubilee Hills constituency limits, many poor people were allotted houses in the Kollur housing project. 

But due to several reasons, especially distance and challenges in conducting their petty businesses, about 6500 beneficiaries have kept the doors locked since long, he said, adding a few have even sold their houses to natives of Kollur.

“We have served notices to such allottees. If they do not respond, we will take back possession of those allottees,” Srinivas Reddy
