Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has issued directive to expedite the construction of houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) and said that for the implementation of the scheme, utilisation certificate of the funds received from the Centre should be sent to the Government of India in time so that the next instalment could be received in time.

The chief minister has also asked officials to ensure that all the works of the scheme are in accordance with the prescribed standards and guidelines.

The chief minister on Tuesday reviewed the works of various departments at a high-level meeting at Lok Bhawan.

He said that besides providing better employment opportunities to the migrant and resident workers, the state government was also committed to their social security.

While giving instructions to make effective arrangements for social security of the migrant and resident workers, he said that a presentation of the proposed action should be made at the earliest.

The chief minister directed officials to provide benefits of Ayushman Bharat Yojana and Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya Abhiyan to migrant and resident workers.

“The last quarter of the current financial year has started and in view of this the top officials of all the departments connected with revenue collection should review the revenue receipts and ensure achievement of the targets. A strategy should be chalked out to get more revenue under GST (goods and services tax),” he said.

The chief minister directed the Stamps and Registration department to prepare an action plan for maximum revenue generation. He said that details of such immovable properties in the state should be compiled which have not been registered yet.

He said special attention should be paid to the proceedings of the registry of such property. “This will enable more revenue collection by the department,” the chief minister underlined.
