Burhanpur's PM Awas Crisis: Incomplete Homes, Stalled Funds Force Families into Rent

• Over 5000 beneficiaries in Burhanpur face incomplete Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) houses due to stalled installment payments.
• Many families are forced to live in rented accommodations during cold weather, expressing frustration over continuous rent payments.
• A disparity exists in PMAY funding: ₹2.5 lakh for urban areas versus ₹1.5 lakh for rural areas, making rural construction difficult.
• Beneficiaries like Prakash await final installments, while villagers like Hemant Patil highlight the urban-rural funding gap.
• Municipal Commissioner Srivastava confirmed 3000 urban houses completed but noted recovery action against over 200 who received funds but didn't start construction.

Why It Matters: Stalled PM Awas installments in Burhanpur leave thousands with incomplete homes, forcing them into rented housing.
