Rajouri: Jammu and Kashmir authorities are currently constructing 1,900 new pukka houses for below the poverty line families, who are staying in the far-flung hilly areas of Dharsakri village, media reports said.

The houses are constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

The people living in the region generally stays in 'kaccha houses'.

They reportedly face trouble in rainy and winter seasons.

“People in this village are very poor. They live in terrible conditions and dread the rainy and winter season as their houses often get wrecked in harsh weather. Small villages are often neglected by authorities so we are very grateful for this initiative. People are glad that they will now have steady roofs over their heads,” Aijaz Ahmed, Sarpanch of Dharsakri told ANI.

“From 2019 till now, we have given pension to so many people and government schemes have also been implemented well, especially for new mothers and the elderly,” Ahmed added.

Sharing the troubles faced by, new PMAY householder Muhammad Hussain told ANI: "We get a lot of rain and snow in our village. In harsh weather, our houses used to fall down and we used to dread strong winds. The living conditions were very difficult. These pukka houses are going to change our lives."
