Residents await construction of the promised 2BHK houses in the village adopted by the Minister
Demanding that double bedroom houses be constructed for them, some angry residents of Kolgur village in Gajwel constituency held a dharna in the village on Monday. They even burnt an effigy of Finance Minister T. Harish Rao. Police rushed to the spot and promised to take the issue to the notice of officials concerned.
The village was adopted by Mr. Harish Rao after the TRS came to power for the second time.
According to sources, the villagers alleged that Mr. Harish Rao promised to develop the village and as part of that, 16 houses in the village were demolished to construct new houses. Despite repeated appeals, there was no response from the Minister or from the officials and hence they were forced to agitate to push their demands, they said.
