NE expo deliberates on challenges of housing

Guwahati: Prominent speakers taking part in a technical session of the ongoing North Expo, an exhibition of real estate leaders, on Sunday deliberated on the challenges facing the housing sector in the region. Participating in the discussion, Association of Real Estate Developvers Associaton (AREDA) president P K Sharma said sky rocketting prises have hit hard the housing sector as far as the common man was concerned. Outling the need for cutting the tax burden, Sharma urged the government to come out with innovative schemes so that the lower and middle income group of people can afford housing. State government’s finance secretary H S Das said public-private partnership is pivotal in the field of real estate development. Indepth analysis has to be made and ways to rationalise the tax system can be mooted, Das said while outling the new schemes taken up by the government in developing the housing sector. (PTI)
