The CM instructed the officials to expedite efforts to secure more houses under the scheme and ensure that all pending dues from the Centre are cleared. He also stressed the importance of continuously updating data related to Indiramma houses and urged officials to submit the required information to the Centre without delay.To address the possible manpower shortages in the housing wing, particularly as construction projects scale up, the CM suggested appointing outsourced engineers to accelerate the work. Additionally, he proposed the auction of unsold apartments and houses under the Rajiv Swagruha scheme, stating that pending sales for years was unacceptable, and preparations for the auction should begin immediately.CM Revanth Reddy also inquired about the delays in handing over completed double-bedroom houses to beneficiaries.
