In a positive development for 2,500 Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) families, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta revealed plans to distribute keys to their new flats in Savda Ghevra in the upcoming year. This initiative aims to enhance living standards and provide essential amenities for the underprivileged residents. The government’s focus is not just on housing but also on creating well-equipped colonies with education, healthcare, sanitation, water supply, green spaces, and livelihood opportunities.
The Chief Minister criticized past administrations for failing to allocate flats to deserving beneficiaries, leading to a backlog of vacant units in the Savda Ghevra EWS residential colony. The government has constructed over 7,600 residential units in the area, with a significant number currently unoccupied. Gupta emphasized the commitment to offering a dignified life, not just shelter, to EWS citizens in Delhi.
Efforts are underway to develop community facilities in existing EWS residential colonies managed by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB). The government’s top priority includes enhancing basic and social infrastructure in large colonies like Savda Ghevra. The upcoming year will witness the allocation of flats to eligible EWS families, marking a significant step towards providing sustainable urban living.
