Sunam, November 10:- Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora today handed over documents confirming ownership rights of their houses to 1,338 families from five villages in the Sunam Assembly constituency under the ‘Mera Ghar Mere Naam’ scheme. Separate distribution programmes were organised in the villages of Bharur, Namol, Qila Bharian, Lohakhera and Buggar. The Cabinet Minister congratulated the families who received the documents.
Sharing village-wise details, Shri Arora said that ownership documents were given to 133 families in Bharur, 585 in Namol, 260 in Qila Bharian, 213 in Lohakhera and 147 in Buggar. He said that organising distribution programmes at the village level enabled beneficiaries to receive these documents in their own villages.
Addressing the gatherings, the Cabinet Minister said that many families had been living in their houses within the Lal Lakir areas of villages for generations. However, several of these families did not have documents to establish ownership of their houses. He said that the objective of the ‘Mera Ghar Mere Naam’ scheme is to provide eligible families with documentary proof of ownership of their houses.
Shri Arora said that having proof of ownership of one's house is very important for every family. With the details of the house and its owner recorded in the documents, families can present proof of ownership whenever required. This record is also important for future generations, as they will have written details establishing ownership of their family home.
The Cabinet Minister said that the Punjab Government is making efforts to ensure that every eligible family receives the benefits of the scheme. He urged beneficiaries to carefully check the names and property details mentioned in their documents and preserve the ownership papers safely. He added that if any clarification regarding the details is required, families should contact the concerned office.
Besides various office-bearers and prominent personalities, a large number of village residents were present at these programmes.
