12 lakh poor people in Bihar will soon get money for permanent houses, Nitish government assured

Bihar News: Lakhs of poor families in Bihar are still waiting for their permanent houses. There was vigorous discussion regarding this issue in the assembly. The government has assured that no eligible family will be deprived of the housing scheme.

RJD raised questions in the House

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA Saurabh Kumar, while raising the question in the House, said that before the elections, it was promised to build 12 lakh houses, but till now only about 2.80 lakh houses have been built. He said that work on more than nine lakh houses is still pending.

Second installment not received

Saurabh Kumar also alleged that many beneficiaries had received the first installment. After receiving the first installment, people demolished their old kutcha houses, but due to not receiving the second installment, they are in trouble. Many families are forced to live under the open sky.

Rural Development Minister replied

On this, Rural Development Minister Shravan Kumar replied that there has been a slight delay in the scheme, but the government is completely serious. He said that an amount of Rs 91 crore has been received from the Central Government and additional funds are expected to be received before March 31.

hence the process slowed down

The minister said that it is wrong to say that the central government is not giving money. It took time to prepare a new model under the plan, due to which the process slowed down. Now the interim amount has been received and demand has been made for the remaining amount also.

Amount will be released soon

Minister Shravan Kumar further said that 60 percent of the amount in this scheme is given by the Central Government and 40 percent is given by the State Government. The work was delayed due to some procedural problems, but now the government is preparing to move the work forward rapidly. The government claims that soon funds will be released for the remaining houses also, so that the poor families can get their permanent houses soon.
