Chandigarh, December 8

Members of the UT government housing scheme employees union held a meeting today and decided to protest against the BJP during the MC poll.

They said even after a decade, there was no respite for 3,930 UT employees, who were selected by a draw of lot for the self-financing housing scheme. They will hold a meeting of all employees on Sunday.

The draw of lots for the scheme was conducted on November 4, 2010. Under the scheme, 336 three-bedroom flats, 888 two-bedroom, 564 one-bedroom and 320 one-room flats were to be built on land measuring 61.5 acre. However, the scheme is yet to see the light of day.
