HOUSEFED TO BUILD DWELLINGS FOR WEAKER SECTIONS

Kapurthala November 17:
Punjab Housefed will develop cooperative housing projects in all the cities of the state under the scheme of the state government to provide houses at cheaper rates to weaker sections of society.
First such project of 906 flats is already under construction at Banur in Patiala. The foundation stone of another such project of 240 flats was laid by cooperation minister Capt Kanwaljit Singh at Circular Road in Kapurthala on Sunday. This project would be completed within two years.
Capt Kanwaljit Singh said, “Private companies construct housing colonies for their financial benefit but the Punjab cooperation department would construct residential flats without any financial benefit to provide them to weaker section on easy instalments.”
Welcoming the decision of constructing flats in Kapurthala district, former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur and former Punjab minister Raghbir Singh said the poor and middle-class families would be benefited with the construction of these flats. Later Capt Kanwaljit Singh, Bibi Jagir Kaur and Raghbir Singh saw the model of the flats to be constructed in Kapurthala.
Deputy commissioner J.M. Balamurugan said that self-help group schemes should be initiated in the district as pilot projects so that general public might get benefit of the scheme. Housefed chairman K.K. Bawa, managing director V.K. Bansal, joint registrar Jalandhar division K.S. Sangha also spoke on the occasion.
