Chas Municipal Corporation (CMC) is at work to settle down 760 urban homeless people under Prime Minister Aawas Yojna (Urban). With an investment of Rs 56 crore apartments would be constructed at Kalapathar and Kamaldih in next two years. We have planned to settle down 760 urban homeless people there, said JP Yadav Executive Engineer CMC.
“Layout of apartments has been ready, houses would come-up on 4 acres of land at Kalapathar and one acre of land at Kamaldih where 540 and 220 homeless would be settled,” added Yadav.
Each house will have a bedroom, dining room, kitchen and bathroom.
The beneficiaries have to apply fresh for this scheme either online or at CMC office along with voter ID (must), Aadhar card, three passport size photos, bank passbook and residential certificate issued by revenue official of their hometown.
This housing scheme will consider economically weaker BPL as well as APL categories only, and their annual income should not be exceeded than 3 lakhs rupees, he said.
“The most important thing is that the beneficiary should not have a pucca house is his or her name, or in the name of any of his or her family in any part of India,” added Yadav.
Notably, CMC is also on move to turn Bokaro Steel City into ‘Slum Free’ City, given a requisition of 7 acres of land for the purpose to Bokaro Steel Plant’s (BSL) management.
On the directive of State headquarter we have taken initiation.
People residing in the slum or huts across the township area of BSL will be rehabilitated and settled in the permanent houses, said an official.
As the government’s dream for ‘hut-free’ city in Bokaro, we have started our move. Presently we have given a requisition of 7 acres of land in the township area to settle all slums, said Bholu Paswan Mayor CMC. “There are more than 5000 huts in the township area of BSL, all of them (residing in the huts) will be shifted and settled into their permanent houses very soon,” he added.
We have already identified 4 acres of land in the township area and the process is ‘on’ for NOC from BSL, he said. Soon after getting the required lands from BSL, DPR will be prepared and then construction work will be started, said an official of CMC.
“A Bangalore based firm has been given the responsibility to prepare the DPR,” added the official. “We are also working hard to turn Chas as a slum-free city. A detailed work plan is ready and we are planning to assume that by the end of 2022”, he said.
