Hindustan Times ( 21 Feb ) carries a news report with
following headline :
Extract :
In 2010, a similar Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the state government and the
Maharashtra Chambers of Housing Industry (MCHI) for five lakh houses, but eight
years later, not a single housing unit
has come up.
Another problem with
constructing affordable houses is that often they are built in unliveable
areas, places that have no infrastructure. “There is no point in constructing
houses in areas with hardly any economic activity. Such areas have neither got
proper transport facilities nor social infrastructure for residents,” said
Kapoor.
No surprise here !
Even a tiny 245 sq ft flat costing Rs 45 lakhs, is
beyond the reach of the so called “ middle class “ persons whose annual salary
is Rs 2.5 lakh / year ( Rs 20,000 per month )
