He also stated that the government was taking steps to fill all vacancies in the housing department to strengthen it.

He asked the officials to have a separate quota for Adivasis living in the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) areas for allotment of houses under the scheme.

“The village secretary and the mandal-level officials should be held responsible for the construction of houses under the scheme. There should not be any issues with the Indiramma Illu mobile app. There shouldn’t arise any problem for the beneficiaries in the implementation of the scheme,” he directed the officials concerned.
