Talasani assured transparency in the process through the lottery draw and advised those who didn't secure allotments in the first phase not to worry, assuring that all eligible individuals would receive houses.

In Kollur, Health Minister Harish Rao distributed 2BHK housing certificates to 3,500 beneficiaries in the Patancheru constituency. In Secunderabad Cantonment, the late MLA G Sayanna's daughter, Lasya Nandita, attended the launch at Bahadurpally.

Various ministers who presented keys to beneficiaries highlighted the numerous welfare schemes implemented by the Telangana government. Each housing unit is estimated to cost between Rs5 and Rs 6 million.
