Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Delhi CM announced that her government has allocated crores of rupees in the budget for the development of slum settlements, stating that whenever slums need to be removed for any reason, arrangements are being made to provide houses to the eligible residents so that they can be true citizens of the national capital.
The Chief Minister also appealed to the slum dwellers not to be misled by the "broom-wielding" (AAP) leaders, as during their government, they merely saw slum residents as vote banks and encouraged the supply of alcohol to these areas. "Now that the current government is working on developmental schemes for the slum communities, these leaders are trying to incite unrest and mislead the residents," she said.
The Chief Minister visited the slum camp (Faatak wali jhuggi) near the railway crossing in Shalimar Bagh on Sunday morning. The Railways have issued a notice for the removal of this slum settlement, as it is located on railway land. The Railways are expanding the Azadpur railway station, CM Gupta added.
She pointed out that a survey of this slum area was conducted in 2020, but the then Aam Aadmi Party government neither took any decisions nor held talks with the Railways. "But we have now begun working on a plan for you so that you do not face any hardship," she said. (ANI)
