The GHMC Commissioner said that the 2BHK flats would be constructed in identified slums by involving various NGOs. He said that the NGOs would create awareness among the slum dwellers and convince them to allow construction in their areas.
Janardhan Reddy said that that the GHMC would take people’s feedback n the status of drinking water, drainage, electricity, parking and other civic related facilities in their areas. The proposal was discussed during a review meeting held by the Commissioner with Urban Community Development, Housing, Engineering, Mepma and other connected departments today in GHMC Head Office.

The JNNURM scheme was launched with Rs. 20,000 crores. However, it benefitted only 30% of identified beneficiaries. In the first phase, the GHMC will be take up the construction of double bed rooms flats in 30 basthis for which proposals are being planned.
