Telangana Chief Minister Monday announced a cash bonanza of Rs 10 lakh each to 2,000 families in his native village of Chintamadaka in Siddipet district and health profiling of its citizens.
Rao, who visited the village, interacted with the residents, took the blessings of his teacher and also offered prayers at a temple.
"You may need any hundreds of houses; you can demolish and construct (new houses) or build new ones by removing old houses.... I am sanctioning you 1,500 to 2,000 houses.
Every family in the village would get Rs 10 lakh, he said and announced that he had sanctioned Rs 200 crore for the purpose.
The festival of entering new houses should be organised by the month of Karthika (during winter), he said, addressing a public meeting in the hamlet in Siddipet district.
