Chief Minister is holding a meeting on October 28 during which funds will be sought: Muthusamy
Steps have been taken to rebuild the 50 tenements constructed by Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) that were found to be fully damaged, in two years, said Minister for Housing and Urban Development S. Muthusamy here on Saturday.
Addressing the media at the Collectorate, the Minister said 195 tenements in the State, both rented and sold, were found to be in a damaged condition and steps were taken to repair them. “The Chief Minister is holding a meeting on October 28 during which funds will be sought for demolition and rebuilding of tenements,” he added.
To a question on whether another opportunity would be given for regularisation of unapproved plots and layouts, the Minister said many opportunities were given already. “But regularisation should be done within the time frame stipulated by the government. It is not to harass anyone, but to help people,” he said and added that a decision on extending the time period of regularisation would be announced.
