Home buyers' interest paramount: Yogi at RERA conclave

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said safeguarding the interest of those who give their life-time earnings to builders in the hope of having their own home, is of paramount importance to him.

"For me, the interest of those who stake their earnings for a home, is supreme. Such people face problems as despite all the money being stuck, they also have to pay the bank loan," he said at the first national conclave of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.

"However, this does not mean we will neglect the interest of other sectors associated with the real estate. If builders fulfil their promises in a transparent manner, they too will be given all possible help as per the rules. If this happens, the real-estate sector will once again recover from recession and touch new heights," the chief minister said.

Citing the example of a Ayodhya resident, Mahabir Harijan, a mason by profession, whose fate changed after receiving the money from PM Housing Scheme, Adityanath said, "Owning a house is associated with self-reliance."
