Work to build a flood protection wall between the Krishnalanka area and the Krishna River is in progress.
Some interventions were removed in order to create a free location for the construction of the retaining wall. VMC officials Tuesday allotted houses through a drawing to 168 families relocated from the area.
The assaults have been identified and residents have been compensated and rehabilitated, according to government officials. Over 524 houses and other structures were demolished to pave the way for the construction of the wall.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy laid the foundation stone for the construction of the 1.5 km long retaining wall on March 31.
The project, launched by the Water Resources Department, will protect over 3,000 households and 31,000 people living in the low-lying areas of Ranigari Thota, Bhupesh Gupta Nagar, Taraka Rama Nagar and other flood-prone areas of Krishnalanka. The project cost was estimated at ₹ 122.90 billion.
