Ranchi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday virtually inaugurated Light House Project (LHP) in Ranchi's Dhurwa area. At a programme in Ranchi, 10 beneficiaries were handed over keys of houses as token distribution, director of Directorate of Municipal Administration Aditya Kumar Anand said.
He said that all beneficiaries of the dwelling units would be provided houses in a phased manner by April. The Prime Minister had laid the foundation stone for the project through video-conferencing on January 1, 2021. Under the LHP, as many as 1,008 affordable houses constructed for the poor and middle-class people. The carpet area per flat will be around 315 square feet.
Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) had shortlisted the names of beneficiaries through a lottery system, an official said.
