Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said, “The Panchayati Raj Department is running some of the most important flagship programmes of the State Government. I am glad that since 2014, the department has successfully completed nearly 25 lakh houses, and has taken great strides in fulfilling the dream of providing pucca houses to all eligible families.”
