Cabinet nod for additional ₹35,000 loan for housing beneficiaries who are SHG members
In a move that provides huge relief to those who have availed themselves of loans from the A.P. State Housing Corporation (APSHC) between 1983 and 2011, the State government has decided to bring in a one-time settlement (OTS) scheme.
The OTS amount in the rural areas is ₹10,000, ₹15,000 in municipalities and ₹20,000 in corporations.
The loanees can avail themselves of the scheme by paying the prescribed amount up to December 15. The revenue officials will register the land for beneficiaries on December 21, 2021.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
