Residents have intervened in the construction of homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), citing concerns over land ownership. The project, aimed at providing affordable housing, has been halted as villagers claim the land allocated for the development is government property and question the legality of its use for PMAY construction. This unexpected stoppage has raised questions about the due diligence process and land acquisition transparency for the housing scheme. Authorities are now expected to investigate the land dispute and clarify ownership before construction can resume. The PMAY initiative is a flagship program designed to ensure housing for all, and any disruption impacts the government’s commitment to this goal.
