New Delhi:
The new Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri has said that the Urban housing and development challenges are transformative in nature and he intends to give his best to meet the targets under various new urban missions.
Puri told reporters after assuming office that the priorities for urban sector have already been outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he would like to work on them.
To a query on how does he look at the challenge of achieving targets under various missions, Puri said “There are two sets of targets viz., some to be achieved by 2019 and some by 2022. If challenges are not met in two years, they can’t be met even in six years. Going by the progress on ground, they can be met”.
The new Minister later held a two hour review of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) and elicited information about various aspects of the target of ensuring decent pucca houses to all the needy urban poor by 2022. He also queried about the expected demand for affordable housing in urban areas besides well performing and not so well performing States and reasons thereof.
