"The beneficiaries had gone ahead to construct houses in anticipation of the amounts. They are facing the situation of stopping the work halfway after beginning the work of foundation and slab as they have not received funds for the last eighteen months. Those who were anticipating the money for constructing houses are devastated. It will be difficult to face the upcoming elections. Therefore, the funds should be released immediately," he stated.
