J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on July 16 clarified that no outsider was being given land under Pradhan Mantri’s Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), in the wake of allegations by the National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of “settling outsiders”.
“Unfortunately, people were being misled that land is being given to outsiders. No outsider is being given land in J&K,” L-G Sinha, who addressing a function in Baramulla, said.
He said 1,99,500 homes have been sanctioned for homeless families, including 46,000 Schedule Caste (SC) and Schedule Tribe. Besides, land for 2711 landless families. “Those who grabbed State land and constructed huge houses, not with their own money, should stop misleading people. These people should stop creating confusion,” L-G Sinha, in an oblique reference to regional parties, said.
