The Telangana government has sanctioned 5,230 new Cheyutha pensions for eligible beneficiaries in the Husnabad Assembly constituency, offering relief to thousands of people who have been waiting for financial assistance. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar announced that the beneficiaries were identified after a field-level verification of applications submitted under seven different pension categories.

A total of 6,313 applications were received, of which 5,230 were approved. The beneficiaries include persons with disabilities, single women, toddy tappers, handloom workers and individuals suffering from various health conditions.

Prabhakar announced that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy would launch the Indiramma Intintiki Kutumba Bima Scheme in Siddipet on November 19. The distribution of Indiramma sarees would also begin in Husnabad shortly. He said the allocation of Indiramma houses would prioritise deserving poor families, particularly single women, persons with disabilities, senior citizens and disadvantaged SC, ST, BC and minority communities.

The minister said development works in the constituency would be reviewed every month to ensure timely execution. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka would soon inaugurate and lay foundation stones for electricity development projects. Plans are also underway to open the glass bridge and tourism facilities near Ellamma Cheruvu to the public and take up the Akkannapet four-lane road project.

Playgrounds are planned across 173 villages, with allocations of Rs. 1 lakh per village and Rs. 2 lakh for larger villages. Walking tracks and equipment for kabaddi, kho-kho and volleyball will also be provided. The minister urged senior citizens and persons with disabilities to utilize the ALIMCO camps beginning November 16.

Prabhakar also inspected the construction of the 250-bed government hospital in Husnabad. With slab work underway, he directed officials to accelerate construction, maintain quality standards and complete the project within the stipulated deadline.
