The housing crisis in Ranchi deepens as PMAY faces a funding shortage, leaving a trail of incomplete projects in its wake. The initiative, designed to provide affordable housing to eligible beneficiaries, now encounters obstacles that compromise its ability to fulfil its objectives.

Addressing the funding shortfall becomes imperative to ensure the timely completion of housing units and to honour the commitment of providing affordable housing to those in need.
