LG Administration should add genuine families to PMAY beneficiaries list: Naik 

RAJOURI, JUNE 13:—It come to the fore that due to errors in the survey being conducted by the Rural Development Department (RDD) in 2017-18, around sixteen thousand families belonging to BPL and AAY categories are not able to avail of benefits of PMAY Scheme in all the three blocks Budhal Assembly Segment of Rajouri district.

Reliable sources said that the concerned officials of the RDD have up-loaded, false and baseless details of such families & hundreds of deserving beneficiaries are getting deprived of the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in these three blocks.

“False & baseless details uploaded by the RDD officials creating lots of problems for genuine beneficiaries and also leading to the rejection of claims under PMAY of such beneficiaries,” said BJP senior leader of the area Manzoor Naik.
For example, a person, Des Raj has been mentioned as ineligible in the survey by the concerned officials of the Rural Development Department to get benefits of PMAY because he is the owner of 5 acres of irrigated land.

This is a sheer injustice with Des Raj as he belongs to the Scheduled Caste community & AAY category as per official records.
“Several beneficiaries had approached the authorities concerned for the redress of their genuine grievance, but have been deprived of the benefits of the housing schemes (PMAY), said Sarpanch Shabir Kamlak.

The false & baseless information uploaded by the concerned officials of RDD, forced many genuine beneficiaries of PMAY (R) scheme to live in Kachha (Mud) houses, which often fall prey to natural calamities.

Manzoor Naik lambasted the RDD officials for their lackadaisical attitude towards their legitimate duties and said: “People eligible for the housing units under PMAY scheme have been left out of it due to the incompetency and nonseriousness of the concerned officials”.

“It is highly unfortunate that the deserving people, including the widows, & destitute, have been left out of the PMAY scheme. As a result of this they are suffering like anything with no justice in sight for them,” Naik added.

Manzoor Naik; BJP Mandal President, Nazir Mohd; Sarpanch, Mohd Shabir Aflatoon; Pandit Tilak Raj, and others have demanded an investigation into such irregularities and houses for the genuine beneficiaries.

Manzoor Naik also appealed to the Lt Governor Administration to initiate a process to add genuine families to the list of PMAY beneficiaries and allot them houses at the earliest as these left-out genuine beneficiaries are suffering for the last four years.

Naik further commented that “An error-free list should be prepared by the concerned department with utmost sincerity so that the eligible left-out beneficiaries shall be benefitted and empowered which is the prime motive of Central Government” said Naik.
