Karnataka Housing Fraud: Contractors Defraud Beneficiaries

Imagine the government promised to build houses for people, but the builders took the money and didn't finish the job.

In Haveri, India, contractors were paid to build homes under a program called Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

However, they gave the people only some materials and made them do most of the work themselves.

Even the materials they gave were not enough and labor costs were not paid.

A report shows these builders were cheating and not following the rules.

This is like promising to build a toy but only giving parts, so the people had to build it themselves.

It also linked to a bigger problem in the government where people were asking for bribes to give houses to others.
