Perni gives away pattas to beneficiaries in Vijayawada East segment
Minister for Transport and Information and Public Relations Perni Venkataramaiah on Saturday said despite many hurdles the Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had fulfilled the dream of 3.5 lakh poor families of owning a home.
Speaking after distributing house pattas to the beneficiaries of the government-sponsored housing scheme at Krishnaveni School campus in Vijyayawada East constituency limits, he said Mr. Jagan had promised during his 2017 padayatra that he would provide houses to all the poor when he comes to power. Now that he was at the helm, he was fulfilling the dream of the poor.
‘Disha Act aims at delivering justice without delay’
Human rights, which the Constitution has guaranteed, continue to be violated long after the country has achieved Independence, and this situation has to change through concerted efforts, Home Minister M. Sucharitha has said.
Participating as chief guest at the Human Rights Day celebrations organised by the National Human Rights and Anti-Crime Council (NHRACC) here on Thursday, Ms. Sucharitha said there were many laws such as the Nirbhaya Act, but criminals were having a field day, mainly due to the delay in justice delivery.
It was against this backdrop that the State government had brought in the Disha Act for speedy trial of cases involving crime against women and children and handing out punishment within 21 days. To achieve this objective, 18 Disha police stations and three forensic science laboratories were set up, and special courts were on the anvil, she said.
