Tihidi: The district administration launched an investigation into alleged irregularities in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana at Narendrapur under Tihidi block in Bhadrak.
The investigation was initiated after it was alleged that a girl was granted a housing unit by projecting her as a widow.
When contacted, assistant project director Rajendra Panda said the girl’s name was included in the list of PMAY beneficiaries by showing her as a widow.
Her family is eligible to get a housing unit while the girl is a major, he added. However, due to a faulty computer entry, she was mistakenly named as a widow.
