Chief Minister Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that the government will roll out a scheme to provide housing plots to the middle class at affordable prices.
At a review meeting on Monday on solid waste management and urban housing at his camp office, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the government was aiming at providing low-cost housing with premium features and clear title deeds.
“I want the urban development and municipal authorities to work on the proposals on land procurement and create the infrastructure. Providing housing plots to the middle class should be a continuous process,” the Chief Minister said. He said a decision has been taken to create 18 layouts in 12 cities surrounding the ring roads.
“Smart towns will be designed in the area ranging from 25 acres to 200 acres within 18 months,’’ said Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
