BHOPAL: In an effort to recover its pending dues, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) is now asking beneficiaries to deposit house dues and get immediate ownership by getting registered. This initiative is being taken under government’s housing for all scheme.

Recently, BMC commissioner KVS Chaudary inspected one such location -Arjun Nagar phase II.

Residents were given a handbook to facilitate immediate registry and right to ownership.

The housing complex was developed around 2016. According to BMC sources, some of the beneficiaries have sublet the accommodation, which is illegal as per the agreement. Around 288 dwellings are there in Arjun Nagar Phase II. BMC officials also served a warning that the housing scheme is meant for urban poor; strict action would be taken against those who sell or rent the premises.

Additional commissioner Chandrapratap Gohal, city chief engineer AK Pawar and others were present during the inspection. Interest-free, easy monthly installment facility has also been offered by the BMC to the residents.
