About 1.5 lakh people affected by Gaja cyclone to get PMAY houses
After the Centre relaxed guidelines of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to enable those affected by Cyclone Gaja get houses, the state government is all set to enlist 1.5 lakh people from four of the worst-affected districts under the scheme. The enrolment process to identify the beneficiaries will start on August 26. As per the guidelines of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (housing scheme) for rural and urban areas, only those people listed in socio-economic and caste census published in 2015 can be beneficiaries. However, the Centre has exempted this to make room for Cyclone Gaja victims following a recommendation from the state government.
