This month, the state government is going to give one-time money to the beneficiaries for the Bangla Awas Yojana. State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will officially launch this work at a function in Kolkata. She will also personally hand over checks to some beneficiaries from across the state. Before that, the state government has started sending the allocation to the districts. So that the money can be sent directly to the beneficiaries’ accounts only after the Chief Minister’s announcement. In Cooch Behar, an allocation of more than Rs 102 crore has been sent to the Zilla Parishad.
Cooch Behar Zilla Parishad Additional Executive Officer Soumen Dutta said, ‘After all the disbursements, 1 lakh 86 thousand beneficiaries of the district will get allocation for the Bangla Bari project. Out of which, 1 lakh 67 thousand beneficiaries have been allocated.
The money will go to the beneficiaries’ accounts only after the Chief Minister’s announcement. Each beneficiary will be given the first installment of Rs 60,000 out of Rs 1 lakh 20,000.’ And the date of the state assembly elections will be announced in a few days. Before that, the state government will once again provide houses to the poor under the Awas Yojana project.
