 "Watch: Flats for poor being constructed on slain mafia Atiq Ahmed’s ill-gotten land in UP")
Seventy-six flats being built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) scheme on the land freed from the clutches of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed are nearly under completion.
The flats have been developed in two blocks of land that were confiscated from the slain gangster in 2021 in the Lukarganj area of Prayagraj City.
The Uttar Pradesh government is building residential flats in the area for beneficiaries of the PMAY, the allocation process for which is likely to begin very soon, said an official.
