Hyderabad: The state govt has decided to celebrate Diwali at Indiramma houses under the theme “Maa Indiramma Intlo Deepavali” (Diwali at My Indiramma Home), with an aim to bring festive cheer to the Indiramma housing scheme beneficiaries and highlight the joy of homeownership.
He said govt had sanctioned 5.5 lakh houses under the Indiramma housing scheme through a transparent process, of which nearly two lakh houses had been completed so far. An amount of around ₹8,000 crore had been released to beneficiaries towards the housing programme, he added.
