The new Congress govt had formed three committees to fix the prices for auction and it has submitted a report to the govt.

Chief minister A Revanth Reddy is expected to take a decision soon on the auction prices.

A senior official in Rajiv Swagruha Corporation told TOI that 2,956 flats had been sold in previous auctions and there are another 760 flats up for sale in Rajiv Swagruha gated community townships at Pocharam and Bandlaguda near Nagole.
