Uttar Pradesh secures ₹12,031 crore under PMAY-Urban 2.0

LUCKNOW: In a major push towards ' Housing for All ', the Uttar Pradesh government has secured financial approval of Rs 12,031 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) Mission 2.0 to provide pucca houses to the urban poor, according to a statement released on Saturday. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to ensure transparency and quality in construction, the statement said. Following this, geo-tagging and photographic documentation of each house will be mandatory under PMAY (Urban), enabling real-time monitoring at every stage of construction. All houses will also be equipped with disaster-resilient features to safeguard against earthquakes, floods, and other calamities, making safety an integral component of the scheme, it said. The cost of construction under the scheme is being shared between the Centre and the state government in a 60:40 ratio. Each eligible beneficiary will receive Rs 2.5 lakh in assistance to build a permanent (pucca) house. Launched on September 1, 2024, the PMAY (Urban) Mission 2.0 aims to ensure pucca houses for all families by the set deadline. The scheme is being closely monitored by officials at both the state and district levels to guarantee timely and quality construction. The initiative not only provides social security to the urban poor but also promotes integrated urban development across Uttar Pradesh, the statement added.

Delhi govt has earmarked 700cr for slum areas: CM

New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta announced on Monday that her govt has allocated Rs 700 crore in the budget for the development of slum settlements. "Whenever slums need to be removed for any reason, arrangements are being made to provide houses to the eligible residents so that they can be true citizens of the national capital," she said. Gupta said that slum dwellers should not be misled by AAP, as during that party's rule they merely saw slum residents as vote banks and encouraged the supply of alcohol to these areas. "Now that the current govt is working on development schemes for the slum communities, these functionaries are trying to incite unrest and mislead the residents," she said.

The railways have issued a notice for the removal of this slum settlement, as it is on railway land. The railways are expanding the Azadpur railway station. Gupta said that a survey of this slum area was conducted in 2020, but the then Aam Aadmi Party govt neither took any decisions, nor held talks with the railways. "But we have now begun working on a plan for you, so that you do not face any hardship," she said. "When a crisis came upon you, I came to meet you because Delhi govt is not in favour of removing slums without a reason," the chief minister said. She added that if slums have to be removed for the sake of development projects or any other legitimate reasons, govt will ensure rehabilitation for the eligible residents so that they too can become a part of Delhi's growth story. She said that she would speak to the ministry of railways and make arrangements for housing for the residents of this area. "You will get complete justice. Delhi govt is fully committed to this," she said, adding that there was no need to panic. The chief minister also criticised the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party govts, stating that in the past 40 years, no development has taken place in Delhi's slums. "These parties have only seen slum dwellers as voters and have constantly tried to exploit them," she said. Gupta also said that the AAP functionaries were making baseless allegations that Delhi govt is focused on removing slum dwellers. "But let me tell them that govt has allocated a budget of Rs 700 crore for the development of slum settlements," she said. The objective is clear: our govt is consistently working towards the development of slum settlements. Roads, lanes and pavements are being constructed in these areas. Arrangement for clean drinking water is being made. Toilets and bathing facilities are being set up for women, she said. Gupta said that AAP was trying to intimidate slum dwellers. However, during their tenure, these functionaries attempted to turn slum residents into alcoholics and made no plans for their development, "whereas we are carrying out genuine and meaningful development", she said.

Public reps most trusted link between govt, people: Yogi

Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that public representatives are the most trusted link between the people and the govt and their ideas and suggestions should be actively incorporated in policy planning and implementation. Holding a special dialogue with MLAs from Kanpur division at his official residence here on Sunday, the CM reviewed 1,362 proposed infrastructure projects worth Rs 10,914 crore and said that priorities should be set in consultation with public representatives to ensure swift and people-centric service delivery. Public representatives from six districts — Kanpur Nagar, Kanpur Dehat, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Etawah, and Auraiya — were invited to participate in the session. "Ideas and suggestions of public representatives are not merely means of dialogue but also reflect public aspirations, which should be actively incorporated in policy planning and implementation," the CM said. He asked officials not to treat the experiences and regional insights of legislators as merely documentary inputs, but to use them as a living basis for policymaking. The CM directed the public works department (PWD) to set priorities for proposed work in consultation with local representatives and ensure timely commencement of projects. He described the initiatives not merely as govt expenditure but as "capital of public trust". The CM asked officials to ensure prompt approval and execution of projects prioritised by public representatives. He asked the urban development department officials to ensure that the names of local public representatives were included on foundation stones and plaques related to urban development work. Yogi also sought feedback on the ground realities, public expectations, progress of development work, and administrative coordination in their respective constituencies. "Kanpur division holds a vital place in the balanced and sustainable development of the state. It is not only the industrial and educational backbone of the state, but also a centre of cultural diversity, historical awareness, and political commitment of public representatives," Yogi said. Describing the Kanpur division as a "pioneer of development", Yogi expressed confidence that it would soon emerge as a model for not just Uttar Pradesh but for the entire country. Kanpur city is set to be gifted with 426 projects worth Rs 5,006 crore, followed by Farrukhabad (308 projects worth Rs 2,476 crore), Kanpur Dehat (336 projects worth Rs 1,214 crore), Kannauj (98 projects worth Rs 1,076 crore), Etawah (128 projects worth Rs 620 crore), and Auraiya (66 projects worth Rs 524 crore).
