Rajganj, 03rd December: Two physically challenged brothers from Rajganj, whose names were initially included in the housing scheme list, have expressed their disappointment after being left out of the final selection.
Reportedly, Subodh Roy and Sunil Roy, residents of Mahanavita village under Majhiali Gram Panchayat in Rajganj block, have been disabled since childhood and currently live in dilapidated mud houses.
According to the brothers, they applied for a house under the government housing scheme several years ago, but despite three surveys, their names were excluded from the final list.
The brothers stated that even if one of them had received a house, they could have managed to live together. However, they allege being repeatedly deprived of this basic necessity and claimed they received no assistance despite informing the gram panchayat authorities about their plight.
In response, Majhiali Gram Panchayat Pradhan Sumit Dutta clarified that the housing scheme is implemented through the BDO office. He advised that those whose names were omitted should apply to the Anchal Office, from where their applications would be forwarded to the BDO office for further action.
