Cuttack: A six-member team of the Union Panchayati Raj Ministry visited Mahanga block office in Cuttack district on Saturday to inquire alleged irregularities in construction of houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

The officials verified several important documents and papers pertaining to allocation of funds for construction of houses in different panchayats of the block under PMAY.
