House Sites Pattas To Be Distributed On July 8: AP CM YS Jagan

AMARAVATI: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy announced on Tuesday that house site pattas would be distributed to 27 lakh eligible beneficiaries in the state on July 8. The new date for distribution of the house site pattas was announced as the entire state government machinery is currently engaged in preventive measures to contain the spread of coronavirus.

Speaking during a video conference held with District Collectors and SPs at his camp office in Tadepalli, the Chief Minister said that, apart from the eligible beneficiaries if there are any more left out, they would also be given the opportunity later. He instructed District Collectors to have the list of beneficiaries displayed in the Village Secretariats after 15 days.

While discussing the programme details, YS Jagan said: ''Only those who are eligible for this scheme should be given the housing pattas. If need be, we should acquire new lands for this purpose. No one should feel that they had been denied housing sites. We should not get the blame of even one eligible person being denied land in the state.”

The AP CM further said: ''There should not be a scope for discrimination in the allotment of land based on partisan political lines. Every eligible person, regardless of who they voted for, should be given the land. Let us in the meantime complete the pending works to get this scheme started.''

YS Jagan said that the lists should be ready and displayed for social audit, which will be held from May 6 to 21. The confirmed list should be displayed before June 7 for final verification, he said.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy also reviewed, during the meeting, a host of other aspects including state's COVID-19 preventive measures, the agricultural scenario ahead of the kharif season, drinking water supply, initiatives being taken as part of Nadu-Nedu scheme, housing construction, distribution of house sites for the poor and the employment guarantee programmes.
