He further stated that the department has created a portal to facilitate the provision of housing for the poor in the state, where applicants are verified after registration.
If anyone has the guarantee of providing houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added.
The Chief Minister also said that injustice was done to the youth during the police inspector recruitment in 2008 under the Congress government, which is a matter of concern.
He said that the Punjab and Haryana High Court, in its judgement, had expressed its concerns about the recruitment process followed at that time.
The Chief Minister made these remarks in the House while speaking on the issue of nepotism in recruitment during the Congress rule raised during the zero hour of the ongoing budget session on Tuesday.
He highlighted how the top-performing candidates were sidelined and not recruited, while others were selected.
He also said that during the recent assembly elections, Congress leaders misled the youth by promising them jobs if they secured 50 votes.
