New Delhi:
The Delhi government Monday decided to institute a three-member
committee of ministers to formulate modalities for allotment of
nearly 17,000 low-cost houses to the poor in the metropolis.
Presided over by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, the cabinet
discussed in detail the issue of accommodating vulnerable sections
of society and also about development works in slums.
"A policy paper has already been prepared by chief secretary (Rakesh
Mehta) in this regard. A committee comprising ministers of PWD,
urban development and social welfare departments has been set up
for allotment of houses to poor," Dikshit said after the cabinet
meeting.
The committee, chaired by Urban Development Minister A.K. Walia,
includes PWD minister Raj Kumar Chauhan and Social Welfare
Minister Mangat Ram Singhal.
A government official said that already over 9,000 houses for poor
have been built and the construction of another 8,000 such houses
was underway. The committee has been asked to decide on the
modalities-framework soon and bring it back in the cabinet within
20 days, the official said.
These houses are given to the poor under the Rajiv Ratna Awas
Yojna.
The committee has also been asked to decide the time-frame for
allotment of such houses besides the basis on which they are to be
given so that the facility reaches only the vulnerable section and
no else takes advantage.
