Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "Today is a historic day, there was a resolution which has been fulfilled and a dream of the people here which has come true...PM Narendra Modi sent money for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but houses were not built because the government here at that time was not interested in building houses.

I am happy to be here, congratulations to everyone."

This is truly a landmark achievement! 8 lakh houses will transform so many lives in Chhattisgarh. The focus on naxal-affected areas is especially commendable - development is the best answer to extremism. Hope the implementation is transparent and reaches the neediest. 🇮🇳

Good initiative but why did it take 8 years? The political blame game continues while poor people suffered without roofs over their heads. Hope the new government ensures speedy construction now. The 'Samadhan Shivir' model seems promising though - more such camps please!

As someone from Bastar district, I've seen how PMAY has changed lives here. The houses are basic but sturdy - a huge upgrade from mud huts. My only request: please ensure water and electricity connections come along with the houses. Many completed homes still lack these basics.

Wonderful news! But ministers should focus less on taking credit and more on ground realities. In my village, many eligible people were left out of PMAY lists due to corruption. Hope this new allocation has better monitoring. The surrendered naxals inclusion is a smart move for peace.

Modi ji's vision of 'Housing for All' is becoming reality! This will boost Chhattisgarh's development tremendously. The 85% resolution rate in Bastar shows what good governance can achieve. Next focus should be on creating job opportunities near these new housing clusters.

While I appreciate the housing initiative, I'm concerned about the environmental impact. Chhattisgarh has rich forests - hope the construction follows sustainable practices. Also, houses alone aren't enough - need schools, hospitals and roads to make these communities thrive. 🏡🌳
