Break For Amaravati R-5 Houses in Andhra Pradesh:- On June 26th, the central government virtually endorsed a plan to construct houses in the Amatavathi region. The Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) of the Union Finance Ministry has okayed for the construction of 48,218 houses at R-5 zone of Amaravati at their 67th meeting. Central government supporting Andhra Pradesh government GO No 55 for the construction of houses in 20 different locations was a big boost to YSRCP.

But, Central Government has a condition to be fulfilled to release the funds for construction. Amaravati court cases needed to be cleared before allotment of funds for the construction of 47,017 houses for the needy. The cases should be cleared before the court of law before the allotted time of the central government or else the Andhra Pradesh government need to construct the houses with state funds without getting any sort of financial support from the central.

On flip side, Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC) has allotted 7.15L houses with Jio tagging, which are yet to start. The state government was scheduled to start 1.10lakhs of houses by June 2023, even though this is pending. CSMC has asked the government to set a deadline and finish the housing construction on time. CSMC also asked for the fund's utilization document for the amount of Rs 145 Cr. They also asked to repay the amount of Rs 52cr used by the state government.

AP government planned to repay all the pending funds and also planned to start the houses with allotted 47,017 housing funds. But the central government has halted the funds and the State government need to look for alternate arrangements to construct the houses on time.
