KATHUA, Aug 31: Former MLA from Billawar and senior Congress leader Dr Manohar Lal Sharma has expressed serious concern over failure of DyCM, Dr Nirmal Singh incharge Minister Housing and Urban Development to bring Billawar under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojna (PMAY).
In a press statement, the Ex-MLA said that it clearly shows the lack of political will on the part of Dr Singh to act as per his tall promises made with the peoples of Billawar and the policy and program of BJP. Dr Nirmal Singh seems to be totally ignoring the peoples of Billawar and favoring the Basohli in all acts and deeds. He is more acting as representative of Basohli people, Dr Sharma alleged.
He said recently Government of India announced 19 towns to be covered in Urban Housing Plan under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna but it is very unfortunate that Billawar is missing in the list. The Billawar and Basohli towns are already in Urban Housing Scheme namely IHSDP in which Basohli town is completed but Billawar is still progressing in that scheme and previous Government was committed to take this town under the Rajeev Awas Yojna for completion of balance families under Housing scheme. But due to lack of alertness and will on the part of Dr Nirmal Singh, Billawar has been removed from the list.
