Suspecting over 76 eligible beneficiaries, collector Verma ordered SDM ON Singh, tehsildar Sandeep Srivastava and RI Patwari to verify them. During verification, it was revealed that only 28 out of 76 beneficiaries deserved to get the benefits of PMAY.
Further investigation revealed that the remaining 48 beneficiaries have already taken the benefits of PMAY. They also owe separate land or house with double storeys.
