Call for strict adherence to SOPs in Jagananna Colonies

Vijayawada: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday directed the officials to strictly follow Standard Operating Practices (SOPs) to expedite construction of houses under the Jagananna housing colonies for those opting for option 3 (building by the government). It has been decided to provide internet to all the colonies along with issuance of job cards, mapping and geo-tagging.

During a review meeting held at his camp office at Tadepalli, the Chief Minister directed the officials to follow the SOPs to expedite the construction works for those who choose Option 3. He told the officials to ensure that all the resources required for the construction work are available in the colonies. It should also be seen whether or not brick kilns are set up in nearby areas. In the same manner godowns and other such basic facilities should be created to speed up the construction process. He directed the officials to try to get clarity on the house sites which are in litigation by the month end and in the first week of August they should come up with alternative plans. Importance should be given for drains and other basic amenities in Jagananna colonies. Drainage, power, water supply and other such issues should be focused upon. The fixtures like tube lights, electric bulbs, fans should be of high quality and there should be no compromise on this front.

In some areas in the name of Jagananna Colonies, municipalities are emerging and special focus should be laid in such areas for basic amenities, civic services and other issues. The officials should keep a tab at every level of construction, he said.

The Chief Minister also held a review on the house site pattas in a 90 days programme. The Chief Minister said that relevant documents should be given to the beneficiary besides just showing the house site. An acknowledgement should be taken from the beneficiary on the receipt of house site patta and documents, he said.
