In non-SRA towns civic bodies to provide homes under PMAY
In towns across the state where the Slum Rehabilitation Authority has not been set up, the state urban development department has directed civic bodies to provide homes to encroachers on civic land under the Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana (PMAY). Those eligible will be leased land up to 1,500 sq feet for 30 years at an annual rent of Re 1. Before providing the land, the civic body has to prepare a common layout plan for the encroached land and ensure that land is marked for laying civic infrastructure. A government resolution issued on Wednesday states that in case the SRA cannot implement a slum rehab scheme, then on such lands it can issue an NOC to the local civic authority who can then implement the PMAY.
