Hyderabad: The State government has sped up efforts to provide help to people displaced by the Musi Riverfront development project. As part of this, the government has decided to allocate 16,000 two-bedroom houses to families who have lost their homes.
These houses will be given to families who lived in areas near the Musi River that are considered unsafe or in flood-prone zones. According to a survey conducted by authorities, around 10,200 people have been identified as displaced. District officials from Ranga Reddy, Hyderabad, and Medchal will visit these families on Wednesday to inform them about the housing allotment.
A total of 1,600 houses located directly in the riverbed will be removed, and those families will be moved to the new double-bedroom houses. People living in the buffer zone near the Musi River will also receive compensation for their homes under the RFCTLARR Act. If they own the land, they will be paid for it as well. In addition, they will be given a two-bedroom house.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has promised that all people affected by the Musi River project will be rehabilitated according to the law. Recently, State BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar visited the Musi River along with officials to oversee the situation. District Collectors will begin the rehabilitation process by contacting the affected families soon.
