Madikeri: The State Government and District Administration have come forward to construct houses to rehabilitate the flood victims of Kodagu. About 110 acres of land has been identified at various places in the district and work on levelling the ground has begun.
Three model houses of built-in areas 307 sq.ft, 415 sq.ft and 500 sq.ft are being constructed on a pilot basis by three different private companies — Karnataka State Habitat Centre, Netaji Welfare Association and Bird Utilising International Technology — on a plot adjacent to the RTO Office on the outskirts of the town. It is said that the pilot houses can resist earth quake and fire disaster and obviously are environment-friendly.
