Six more families move into pucca houses under CMRHM in Maneybong-Dentam


GANGTOK, 23 April: Six more families moved into pucca houses constructed under the Chief Minister’s Rural Housing Mission in Maneybong-Dentam constituency, West Sikkim, on 19 April. This new set of six houses are in the four Gram Panchayat Units of Shanku Radhu Khandu, Hee, Maneybong  Sopakha and Bongten Sapong under Dentam Block.
The six beneficiaries are Ganga Ram Panth, Manita Chettri, Kedar Nath Thapa, Birkha Bhadur Limboo, Dal Bahadur Limboo and Damber Bahadur Chettri. Apart from now having an RCC ropf over their heads, four of the six families also received a Rs. 10,000 incentive for having completed the constructions within the prescribed timeframe of six months.
An official press release informs that the pucca houses were handed over by the area MLA, Chandra Maya Subba, who is also the chairperson of the Block Rural House Construction Committee for CMRHM, Dentam BAC.
She was accompanied by the Dentam BDO Himmat Rai, AE Ramesh Shama, ADO JB Tamling, Panchayats and local gentry.
With this, the total number of completed Model-C RCC houses under CMRHM in Maneybong Dentam and Dentam BACs has reached nine. One of the panchayat wards, Upper Khandu under Shanku Radhu Khandu GPU has been able to complete both the pucca houses allotted under the first lot well within the time frame of six months despite the village of Bhalukhop where these pucca houses were constructed being very far from the nearest road-link, the release highlights.
Despite high cost of head loads, this panchayat ward has lived up to the essence of mission mode of CMRHM, the release adds. This Bhalukhop experience should serve as an inspiration for the construction of pucca houses in the remote villages of Ferek and Jhakridunga where relatively large number of pucca houses were allotted, the BDO adds.
