Haryana Government on Tuesday approved five projects costing Rs 317.54 crore for providing housing facilities to poor living in slums in Fardiabad, Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh and Rohtak.
As per the scheme, 7241 multi-storey units would be constructed and basic amenities would be provided to slums of these towns. The decision came in the second meeting of State level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee of Rajiv Awas Yojna (RAY) here, presided by CM Manohar lal.
The CM also directed the officers to prepare slum free city plan of all towns falling in nine Municipal Corporations as well as of Sirsa and Hansi within a period of six months. He asked them to ensure timely completion and quality in the works of all such projects so that beneficiaries could get houses and required basic amenities in time. He said that third party certification in RAY should also be undertaken for quality checking.
Expressing concern over the practice of resale of houses by beneficiaries, Manohar lal asked the officers to draft stern rules so as to curb such practices. Every unit should be given on leasehold and transfer permission should not be allowed. Apart from this, resumption aspect should also be taken into consideration and the same should be strictly enforced.
Keeping in view the weak financial position of beneficiaries, it was also decided in the meeting that grant to beneficiaries would be released in three installments first at the time of foundation; second one before putting the roof and third would be released after completion.
Under RAY, seven projects costing Rs 475.35 crore has been sanctioned for six towns of Sirsa, Ambala, Rohtak, Yamunanagar, Hisar and Hansi for construction of 7842 dwelling units besides providing basic amenities in slums. A sum of Rs 127.11 crore has already been released for implementation of these projects.
The Chief Minister also reviewed RAY projects at Ambala, Hisar, Hansi, Rohtak, Yamunanagar, Jhajjar, Sirsa and Faridabad.
