Capt Amarinder Singh
Chandigarh, September 11
The Punjab Government has approved proprietary rights for six more slums in Ferozepur, Jalandhar, Mansa, Patiala and Ludhiana districts under CM Capt Amarinder Singh’s flagship scheme ‘Basera’.
The approval was granted at a meeting of the scheme’s steering committee chaired by Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan here. As many as 8,141 households in various districts have so far been awarded proprietary rights under the programme.
The Chief Secretary ordered a monthly review of the ‘house-for-houseless’ scheme and directed the deputy commissioners to work proactively for its seamless execution. Punjab is the first state in the country to formulate a scheme for slum dwellers in urban areas occupying government land. — TNS
