Imphal, November 05 2020:
Sagolband AC MLA RK Imo distributed advance housing loan of Rs 15 thousand each (2nd phase) to 92 beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) from Ward no 8, today.
PMAY was launched in 2015 to ensure affordable housing for all by 2022 .
The loans were distributed during a function organised by the Sagolband Constituency Progressive Committee at Lainingthou Khamlangba Community Hall.
At the function, RK Imo said the housing loans were distributed from his side in advance as beneficiaries have to start the construction process first to avail the benefits of the scheme (PMAY) .
Advance loans are distributed to only the beneficiaries of Sagolband AC, he said and added similar assistance has also been given to beneficiaries of Ward no 10 and Ward no 8 earlier.
The MLA also said that the advance will also be distributed to beneficiaries of Ward no 7 and 24 after Ningol Chakkouba.
There are about 1,700 to 1,800 PMAY beneficiaries in Sagolband AC, he added.
The MLA also expressed hope that the people of Sagolband will continue to support him to take up more developmental and welfare works for the people.
SCPC president, Laishram Nobo, Ward no 7 Corporator, RK Jiten also attended the programme among others.
