The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet on Wednesday decided to constitute a three-member committee comprising Cabinet Ministers to inquire into alleged irregularities and corruption associated with Jagananna colonies during the previous YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) tenure between 2019 and 2024.

The committee will also submit a detailed report within 45 days on restructuring plots allotted to beneficiaries who refused them and suggest ways to best utilise the leftover land in the colonies. It will examine the purchase of land unsuitable for housing and recommend measures for its effective utilisation.
