PMAY Housing Project Stopped Amidst Land Dispute

Construction of new homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has been brought to a standstill following a protest by local villagers. The community’s objection stems from allegations that the designated land for the housing project is actually government-owned. This development highlights a potential flaw in the planning or allocation of resources for the ambitious housing scheme. The villagers’ action underscores the importance of clear land titles and community consultation in government-led development projects. Officials are reportedly reviewing the land records to resolve the ownership conflict and allow the PMAY project to proceed.
