The High Court of Manipur has directed the state government to file counter affidavit over the complaint of not releasing fund of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) for beneficiaries under Wangoi Municipal Council within four weeks.
While hearing a petition filed by one Chingakham Chaoba Singh and five other petitioners, justice Kh Nobin on August 18 reminded that the High Court had served notice to commissioner or secretary of MAHUD and three other respondents to file counter affidavit over the petition earlier on January 14, 2020 .
Four weeks' time has been given to the respondents for filing their affidavit as last opportunity, failing which relevant process would be initiated to dispose of the matter in the next hearing, the HC order dated August 18 said and it also fixed the next hearing on September 22.Mention may be made here that the petitioners in their prayer said that fund for their housing projects under PMAY-U had been sanctioned after approval from the state town planning department but so far the authority has not released the fund.
