AndhraPradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday distributed house regularisation pattas worth Rs9,000 crore to more than 24,000 families in Vijayawada.

The regularised documents grant full ownership rights to beneficiaries of decades-old NTR era house sites under ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme.

Under this initiative, each beneficiary family will get assets valued up to Rs45 lakh, said an official release earlier. As part of ‘Pedalaku Pattabhishekam’ programme, the government will regularise houses built on land covered by NTR-era (former CM NT Rama Rao) house pattas issued decades ago.

The regularisation will cover 617 acres, equivalent to nearly 30 lakh square yards, whose market value is estimated at Rs24,297 crore, said the release.

Beneficiaries span across eight assembly constituencies and 15 mandals in NTR and Krishna districts.
