State’s urban housing policy draft prepared
The draft would be soon put before the cabinet for final nod. Officials
in Housing Board claim that the policy is likely to be implemented by
April end after cabinet approval.
Housing and urban planning department discussed the policy on Monday.
A major thrust has been kept on well-planned city and also affordable housing projects for economically weaker sections.
The shortage of land in the state has motivated the authorities to
promote vertical growth for both self-financed as well as LIG or EWS
flats.
An official said, “The need of the hour is to provide
all facilities under one room in one project. We have suggested
construction of all amenities, residential blocks, work places,
recreational facilities in one project so that people can have a better
standard of living.”
The policy also lays emphasis on promoting
more private partnerships with builders to create ample housing
opportunities for people.
