Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday distributed house regularisation pattas worth Rs 9,000 crore to more than 24,000 families in Vijayawada.The regularised documents grant full ownership rights to beneficiaries of decades-old NTR-era house sites under ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme. Under this initiative, each beneficiary family will get assets valued up to Rs 45 lakh.
As part of the ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme, the government will regularise houses built on land covered by NTR-era (former CM N. T. Rama Rao) house pattas issued decades ago. The regularisation will cover 617 acres, equivalent to nearly 30 lakh square yards, whose market value is estimated at Rs 24,297 crore. Beneficiaries span across eight assembly constituencies and 15 mandals in NTR and Krishna districts.
They come from Vijayawada East, Vijayawada West, Vijayawada Central, Gannavaram, Jaggayyapeta, Mylavaram, Nandigama and Tiruvuru constituencies.
A significant number of beneficiaries reside in houses constructed on hill areas within the three Vijayawada city constituencies.
Regularisation of these properties is expected to provide the residents with permanent security over their homes and greater certainty for their future. Residents of the hill areas have been demanding regularisation for decades, stating that legal ownership would provide permanent protection for their houses and property.
The beneficiaries include 12,093 BC families, 6,130 OC families, 4,546 SC families, 955 Muslim BC families and 333 ST families.
