In Raipura, Lakshmipur, 152 newly constructed homes intended for landless and homeless individuals remain locked and unused. Many of those allocated housing have chosen to stay in their original villages instead of occupying the provided shelters. Locals report that some of these abandoned shelters are being used for illicit activities, including drug gatherings in the evenings. Authorities have yet to confirm allegations of drug use and other illegal activities like sex work within the premises. The situation raises questions about the effective implementation of the government’s housing scheme aimed at supporting vulnerable populations in Lakshmipur. Further investigation is needed to determine the reasons for the low occupancy rate and address the reported security concerns. The abandoned properties represent a missed opportunity to provide safe and stable housing for those in need.
