He was speaking after the foundation stone laying ceremony for the housing project for SC/ST beneficiaries at Akyappa Garden in B Ramaiaha colony.
Around 426 houses would be constructed for the beneficiaries under this project by the BBMP and the houses will be ready within March next year, said Srinivas.The approximate cost alloted for the housing project is Rs 1,600 lakh.
The development work in the park would begin by December 5, 2009, he added.
