 "Shivraj Singh Chouhan")
A scheme will be introduced to build houses in urban areas of the state.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced this at a public meeting in Indore.
He said under the scheme, residents of the state would be able to build houses on their plots with help from the state government.
A senior state government official, on condition of anonymity, said this scheme would be different from the “Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana, which was launched recently”. He said more details about the scheme would be given in a few days when it would be officially launched.
Chouhan on August 15 had announced launching the “Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana” and the government is working on it.
Chouhan recently said applications were being invited. He said first the claims would be investigated and then a list would be made.
