Not receiving funds under PMAY for last three years, says Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday, accused the Centre of not releasing funds under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) to the state government for the last three years.

“For the last three years, we have not received any funds under PMAY. A total of Rs 1.70 lakh crore of Central funds are due to us. Still, we are trying to allot as many houses



as possible from our limited resources,” the Chief Minister said at the sidelines of an administrative review meeting at Bolpur.

She also said the money for 11 lakh houses in the district will be released shortly. She also announced that the expenditure for restoration of roads damaged because of flood will be met from the development funds allotted to the legislators.
