Construction of new homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana on government-allocated land has been stopped by a group of villagers. The community has voiced strong opposition, leading to an immediate cessation of building activities. Efforts are being made by officials to understand the villagers’ concerns and find a way to restart the project. The PMAY is a significant government undertaking designed to provide shelter to underprivileged families. Instances like this underscore the necessity of community consultation during the planning and execution phases of public infrastructure projects. The project’s continuation is contingent upon resolving the present local conflict.
