Budaun: Disabled Woman Appeals to DM for PM Housing Aid, Seeks Livelihood Support

RNI Badaun: A physically disabled woman has submitted a petition to the District Magistrate, seeking assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and support for employment, claiming that severe financial hardship has left her struggling to survive.

In her representation, Priyanka Sharma stated that she is unable to walk due to disability in both legs. She said that she used money provided by her mother to purchase a plot and begin construction of a house. However, after exhausting her savings and incurring a debt of around ₹50,000, the construction remained incomplete, leaving only a basic structure standing.

According to the petitioner, the unfinished house lacks essential facilities, including a toilet, water supply, doors and windows. Although an electricity connection has been installed, she claimed that several basic amenities are still unavailable, making the house unfit for habitation.

Sharma alleged that she had applied online for assistance under the PMAY scheme and had approached various officials on multiple occasions over the past three months. Despite repeated visits to government offices, she said no concrete assistance had been provided.

She further stated that her deteriorating financial condition has prevented her from accessing proper medical treatment. The stress of continuous follow-ups and uncertainty has also affected her physical and mental well-being.

The woman has urged the District Magistrate to either facilitate housing assistance under the government scheme or provide her with a small job so that she can support herself. She also requested that if no assistance is possible, the administration should communicate the same in writing to spare her the expense and hardship of repeated visits to government offices.

Sharma appealed to the district administration to consider her case on humanitarian grounds and extend the necessary support.
