President of Dharwad district unit of Janata Dal (Secular) Gururaj Hunasimarad has accused Hubballi-Dharwad West MLA Arvind Bellad of allotting houses to ineligible beneficiaries under the PM Awas Yojna (PMAY).

Mr. Hunasimarad met Housing Minister Zameer Ahmed in Hubballi on Thursday and submitted a memorandum to him seeking immediate inquiry into the allotment process and action against those responsible for allotment of houses to ineligible beneficiaries.

He said that MLA Arvind Bellad indiscriminately allotted 1,179 houses of KSDB at Lakamanahalli in Dharwad to his followers and their acquaintances without following any guidelines.

He urged the Minister to conduct a thorough inquiry in the issue and take action against those responsible for irregularities. He also pointed out the lack of basic amenities at the Lakamanahalli housing complex and urged the Minister to look into it.
