The house was demolished by a bulldozer after communal riots broke out in the city on April 10 during Ram Navami celebrations.
Authorities in the violence-hit Khargone city of Madhya Pradesh have offered another house to an elderly woman whose home, built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), was demolished by the district administration during a drive against properties of the suspected riot accused, her son said on Monday.
However, the affected family has rejected the offer as of now citing security concern and the administration said no formal order has been issued with regards to their relocation.
The woman, Hasina Fakhroo (60), whose demolished home was constructed on a piece of government land in the Khaskhaswadi area, has been offered a house in a multi-storey building in Indira Nagar, which is also built under the Centre's housing scheme.
The woman's son, Amzad Khan, told PTI, "Officials from the municipal body visited us and offered a house in a multi-storey building in Indira Nagar." "However, at present because of concern over security, we have declined the offer," Mr Khan said.
