Delay in PM Modi government’s flagship rural housing scheme to invite penalty

The Hindu  

Pulling up States for the delay in completion of Narendra Modi government’s flagship rural household scheme — Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana — the Union Ministry of Rural Development has come up with a set of penalties that the State governments will have to bear for any further delay. This is the first time, since the scheme started in April 2016 with a target of constructing 2.95 crore houses, that the Union Government has introduced a penalty clause. The Union Government is yet to release funds for 12 lakh houses in Chhattisgarh and 11 lakh houses in West Bengal. In case of West Bengal, after complaints from the BJP MPs from the State against the Mamata Banerjee government’s move to repackage the scheme as “Bangla Awas Yojana” and other procedural gaps, the Union Government had withheld funds due to pending response from the State government.
