Hyderabad: In a major step following the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s announcement, the Telangana State government has sanctioned 15,000 double-bedroom homes (2BHK) for families affected by the Musi Riverfront Development Project. The announcement, made on Wednesday, will benefit those living in the riverbed and buffer zones of the Musi River.
The Musi River Front Development Corporation Limited (MRFDCL) conducted a detailed field survey, identifying around 15,000 households residing in the area. Given the economic vulnerability of these families, the MRFDCL requested the government to allocate 2BHK units in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) region. The District Collector will oversee the allocation process on humanitarian grounds.
The survey revealed that approximately 10,200 residents have been directly affected by the project. The state government will begin the relocation process, starting with 1,600 homes currently occupied within the riverbed area. Teams led by the collectors of Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts will visit affected families to inform them about their new housing allotments.
For landowners within the project zone, the compensation will cover both the value of the land and the construction, along with the allotment of a 2BHK home. Those residing in the buffer zone will be compensated for their structures in accordance with the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act.
The relocation is set to begin immediately, marking a significant development in the Musi Riverfront project and offering relief to thousands of affected families in Hyderabad.
