In a strategic move to address housing issues, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta unveiled a government initiative to relocate slum dwellers to 50,000 government flats, initially constructed but left unallocated.
After inspecting the Sultanpuri flats, Gupta criticized previous administrations for neglecting the allotment, which led to disrepair. Her government plans to repair and provide adequate facilities for these homes, offering a significant improvement for economically weaker sections.
Gupta assured no slums would be demolished without alternative housing being provided, expressing willingness to adapt policies and engage in legal actions to ensure the rights of slum dwellers are upheld.
