Srinagar, Mar 12: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Wednesday said that 135,925 houses have been constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Awaas Yojana (PMAY-G) in the last two years.

In response to a question by MLA Arjun Gupta, the minister incharge for the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj said that since the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 and AwaasPlus database have been completely saturated, there is no separate target for the 2024-25 financial year.

However, the remaining spillover target of 140,021 houses from previous phases will be completed in the current financial year, he said.

He said that 109,412 houses were built in Jammu Division, while 26,513 houses were constructed in Kashmir Division—(KNO)
