- Urban Development Minister Satyendra Jain inspects land for EWS housing
New Delhi: 29/07/2016
Delhi Urban Development Minister Mr Satyendar Jain today visited Bhalswa Dairy area in North Delhi and Raja Garden in northwest Delhi to inspect land acquired by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) for constructing housing for the economically weaker sections (EWS). Mr Jain was accompanied by V.K. Jain, Chief Executive Officer of DUSIB and other senior officials of the Urban Development Department.
The DUSIB is primarily responsible for improving the quality of life of Slum & JJ Dwellers in Delhi. The Slum & JJ Department which was earlier part of MCD has now been transferred to Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board, under Delhi Govt. with Hon’ble CM as its Chairperson.
The Delhi Government has focused on in-situ (on site) rehabilitation of slums in Delhi. The government says that relocation would be done only if there is a court order or if the encroached land is required for a specific public project.
The Minister said, “It is my endeavour to provide housing to the economically weaker sections of society, with all civic amenities. We aim to resettle the homeless so that no one is without shelter.”
