Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today said that the state government has created a record by providing houses to 62 lakh families in nearly nine years under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The Chief Minister transferred the first instalment amount to the accounts of 2 lakh 9 thousand 421 approved beneficiaries of the state at a programme organised at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow.

 

The Chief Minister described it as a historic step for the poor, middle class and urban needy. He directed the officers to appoint nodal officers in municipal bodies to ensure that there is no irregularity at any level with any beneficiary, construction material is available on time and at appropriate rates, and instalments are released on time.

 

The Chief Minister said, this achievement is the result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision and leadership.
