A serious case of irregularities in the selection and allocation of beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has emerged in Balbhadrapur village, under Jayantipur Panchayat in Nauhatta block. Nikki Kumari, a resident of Balbhadrapur village, has submitted an application to the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) demanding an investigation into the alleged irregularities in the scheme.

The application claims that eligible and poor families have been deprived of the scheme's benefits, while affluent individuals have been included in the beneficiary list. According to the complaint, many names on the list belong to people who already own concrete houses, two-wheelers, and fertile agricultural land. The PMAY scheme is intended for poor families who lack proper housing, but in this instance, wealthy individuals with existing concrete houses have reportedly been granted benefits.

Taking the matter seriously, Sub-Divisional Officer Nilesh Kumar has assured immediate action. He stated that the beneficiary list for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Balbhadrapur village would be investigated promptly, and appropriate action would be taken against any irregularities found. This incident highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the implementation of government schemes.
