Hyderabad: Along with shifting residents in the Musi buffer zone to alternative accommodation in 2BHK houses, the state government has prepared an action plan prioritising education of children and livelihood of the affected families.
It has also been decided that families who are living in the buffer zone and having pattas will be rehabilitated and given compensation as per the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
The marking of houses for demolition in the Musi buffer zone will commence on Saturday.
According to municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) department officials, the structures will be removed only after the residents are provided all the benefits that are due to them under the law.
In addition to getting 2BHK houses, the oustees will also get benefits of other state government schemes, the officials said. As part of this, the MA&UD department will tie up with SC, ST, BC and minority corporations in addition to NGOs.
One of the tasks is enrolling students into gurukulas and schools near the 2BHK houses. MA&UD principal secretary M. Dana Kishore on Friday held a meeting with NGOs and social workers. “The government will stand by the residents who are rehabilitated,” he said in a statement. “Structures will be removed only after providing all the benefits due under the law,” he added.
For women, the MA&UD department will arrange interest-free loans under the Mission For Elimination Of Poverty In Municipal Areas (MEPMA). This is in addition to the employment generation programmes that will be held near their new homes.
“The employment and training programme will be taken up as a part of the government’s Mahila Shakti scheme,” said an MA&UD official.
“There are 10,000 structures in the Musi buffer zone, the task of marking these structures will be taken up with the help of the district collectors, deputy collector and other officials,” said an MA&UD official.
