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."
