CM opens complex with provision for 1,500 homes; 850 units ready

The residents of the erstwhile Ragigudda slum got secure shelters after a three-year wait on Wednesday, with Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar inaugurating the ‘Vivekananda Vasathi Sankeerna,’ a housing complex for 1,500 families from the slum. The slum-dwellers were displaced from their settlement in 2009 and were later provided temporary accommodation at a public park nearby.
