There is a place named Lakurganj in Prayagraj, which was discussed a lot two years ago when CM Yogi laid the foundation stone of the houses being built for the poor here. This was the land which was once occupied by Mafia Atiq Ahmed, but the Yogi Government of UP not only vacated the land from the possession of Mafia Atiq Ahmed but also decided to build flats there for the poor.
76 flats ready
Here now 76 flats for the poor are almost ready and their finishing work is being done. The poor are hopeful that soon they will get their dream house. It is expected that after the code of conduct for municipal elections is over, these houses will be allotted.
6 thousand people applied
PDA has received more than 6 thousand online applications for these flats built on 1731 square meters of land. Most of the applications have been verified, now they will be allotted to the people through lottery soon. A total of 76 flats are being built on this land of Mafia Atiq Ahmed under the Prime Minister’s Urban Housing Scheme. In this, parking facility, community hall and common area will also be provided for the people. Finishing work is now being done in these flats.
At the time of the same registration, security money of Rs 5 thousand was deposited for allotment. Those who do not get these houses, then this security money will be returned to them.
Government will also help
Significantly, before the assembly elections, CM Yogi Adityanath had performed Bhoomi Pujan on the land vacated by Mafia Atiq Ahmed on 26 December 2021 in Lukarganj, the constituency of former minister Siddharth Nath Singh. This 4-storey building will have parking, community hall and solar lights. This building will be completely green building. Beneficiaries will get a flat for 6 lakhs. In which one and a half lakh grant will be given by the Government of India and one lakh from the state government. Three and a half lakh will have to be given to the selected beneficiaries of the scheme.
The government fulfilled the promise
This is also the first project in the state to build houses for the poor on the land vacated by the mafia. On the other hand, after the plan to build flats on this land, people are now saying that the government has fulfilled its promise and now the poor will get houses. SP flags are still lying here during the excavation. The end of the terror of Mafia Atiq is definitely over, now soon the poor will get their dream house.
