Adilabad: A large number of beneficiaries of the Indiramma housing scheme have begun construction of their houses, with local political leaders participating in the ground-breaking ceremonies. A festive atmosphere has gripped the villages as many beneficiaries start construction work.
Housing department officials are expediting the construction process in anticipation of possible heavy rains, which may cause delays in the coming month. However, interior work on the Indiramma houses is expected to continue despite the weather.
Many families are in a joyous mood, hopeful about finally owning a home. In some villages, Indiramma houses sanctioned under the first phase have already reached the lintel and roof levels.
