Minister for Housing Jogi Ramesh has instructed officials of both Guntur and Palnadu districts to complete the construction of houses in the Jagananna Colonies as per the schedule and urged them not to delay the houses for any reason.
Mr. Ramesh, along with Ajay Jain, Special Chief Secretary for Housing, visited various layouts and held high-level meetings at Guntur and Palnadu Collectorates, in which all the officials concerned and public representatives participated at their respective districts.
During his visit to a layout at Perecherla village in Medikondur mandal of Guntur district, the Minister said the road network should be developed, and observed that there were some more houses that needed to be grounded in that venture. He said there should not be delay in executing the infrastructure works and construction works.
Maddali Giri, Guntur West MLA, urged the Minister to develop the connectivity to Perecherla layout from Guntur and also develop the internal roads in the venture.
Guntur district Collector M. Venugopal Reddy said the government sanctioned a total of 67,678 houses in the district, out of which construction of only 8,025 was completed.
Mr. Ramesh held a review meeting with Palnadu district Collector Siva Sankar Lotheti at the district headquarters at Narasaraopet and suggested that construction of houses be speeded up. In the meeting, Minister for Health V. Rajini and others participated.
During his visits to the layouts, the Minister interacted with the beneficiaries and enquired about the problems they had been facing in constructing the houses.
Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
