HYDERABAD: A meeting on Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewable Mission

sanctioned several housing, road, water supply and drainage projects for
Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada.
It cleared proposals for taking up integrated housing projects in the slums

Collectors, Municipal Commissioners and officials of Housing Department and
Andhra Pradesh Urban Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation,
nodal agency for JNNURM in the State, have been asked to make arrangements
to implement the decision.
Officials informed the Chief Minister and Home and Housing Minister K. Jana
Reddy that projects valued at Rs. 975 crores had already been approved by
the Government of India under JNNURM to provide housing and infrastructure
facilities in slums of Hyderabad and the adjoining semi-urban areas. These
included 49,000 dwelling units in semi-urban areas. The Chief Minister was
told that projects worth Rs. 92 crores had been sanctioned by the JNNURM's
Central Sanctioning Committee for Vijayawada and schemes worth Rs. 212
crores were likely to get its approval shortly for Visakhapatnam.
Officials said schemes valued at Rs. 297 cr. had been recommended by State
Level Sanctioning Committee for the three cities. In case of Hyderabad, the
