Warangal Textile Park land losers to get 863 Indiramma Houses (Invest Telangana)
More than seven years after the foundation stone was laid for the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Shayampet in Geesugonda mandal in Warangal district, those who gave up their land for the park are set to get houses under the Indiramma Housing programme.
The state government issued an order on Saturday, 16 November, saying that it was sanctioning 863 houses under the state reserve quota (SRQ) after relaxing the eligibility criteria fixed for the allotment of Indiramma houses.
The government took the decision after the managing director of Telangana Housing Corporation Ltd requested consideration of the district collector’s proposal for sanctioning houses as a special case.
Under the scheme, the government will pay ₹5 lakh for each Indiramma house to the identified previous landowners under the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, Warangal, to enable them to construct their own houses.
For the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, foundation stone was laid on 22 October 2017, by the then Chief Minister, K Chandrashekar Rao. It was supposed to come up in an area of 1,200 acres.
In March, this year, the Centre included Kakatiya Park among the seven Prime Minister’s Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks, which has come as a shot in the arm for the state.
It raised hopes that Warangal would become a major textile hub. The park will have world class infrastructure including plug and play facility with an outlay of ₹4,445 crore over a period of seven years till 2027-28.
The state government claimed that it would be the first park in India based on development on the concept of ‘’Farm to Fibre, ‘Fibre to Fashion’ and ‘’ Fashion to Foreign.”
