Homeless woman in Gadag receives house under PMAY
Khairunnisa S. Shekhattar has been allotted a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Gadag, Karnataka.
She had lived for nearly 65 years in a makeshift dwelling beneath a railway overbridge on Station Road.
The Railway Department removed the dwelling because the bridge was in a dilapidated condition, leaving her without shelter.
She had applied for a home under a separate housing scheme in 2022, but that application did not lead to an allotment.
She was later selected for a house in a group housing scheme, one of 760 homes available for allotment.
Gadag MLA H.K. Patil handed her the allotment letter at a municipal council programme.
The allotment gives her a home after losing her shelter; the sources do not say when she can move in.
