What happened
In a display of avant-garde governance, recent audits have flagged that over 1,000 crore rupees in central funds were disbursed for houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana that were declared 'complete' despite lacking basic amenities like walls, roofs, or existence. In Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, thousands of families have reportedly been 'housed' in conceptual spaces that exist only in government ledgers. It is a masterclass in minimalist living where the only thing actually 'built' is the contractor's bank balance.
