Rohtak, June 24
A draw of lots was conducted for the allotment of 30 square yard plots to 3,070 beneficiaries of the Chief Minister’s Urban Housing Scheme in Rohtak today. It was organised at Tagore Auditorium on Maharshi Dayanand University campus for the allotment of plots to Antyodaya families of widows, Scheduled Castes and nomadic communities.
Beneficiaries of the scheme stated they were staying in rented houses and would construct their own house on the plots allotted by the government. “It will be a big support for me as I will not have to change houses,” says Urmila, a young widow with two children, who works on daily wages to make ends meet. Kiran, who lives in a rented house with her son, said she and her son work as labourers and she also gets a widow pension. “We are thankful to the government for providing us a space of our own to live with dignity,” she maintains.
The draw was held under the supervision of a team constituted under the chairmanship of Rohtak Additional Deputy Commissioner Vaishali Singh. She said the Haryana Department of Housing for All had implemented the Mukhyamantri Shahri Awas Yojana for people of Antyodaya families living in urban areas.
“Under this scheme, the Antyodaya families with an annual income of less than Rs 1.8 lakh are being given plots of 30 square yards each in the urban areas,” she maintained. She said 7,176 applicants from the district have applied online in various categories, of whom plots were allotted to 3,070 applicants today. “Plots in Sectors 5, 21, 27 and 36 have been alloted to them,” she added.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will hand over the allotment letters of these plots to the beneficiaries of the scheme at a state-level ceremony in Rohtak on June 26.
