DUSIB said DDA is the state-level nodal agency for in-situ rehabilitation of slum dwellers (in respect of lands belonging to the Central government and its agencies) under the Pradhan Mantri Awaz Yojna-Housing For All (Urban) in Delhi.
The Delhi High Court Friday asked the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) to file an affidavit explaining the reasons for adding and then deleting a slum cluster in Mehrauli from the list of rehabilitated/ notified JJ clusters.
DDA has commenced a demolition drive in Delhi’s Mehrauli area, with the residents protesting against the authority, alleging a political angle in the case.
The plea by the Mehrauli Minorities Resident and Shop Owners Welfare Association has sought for the demolition to be stopped till a fresh demarcation is carried out.
Mehrauli Demolition Drive: For the unversed, the DDA has been carrying out the drive since Friday amid police security, triggering protests from local residents and a blame-game between the AAP and the BJP. aaa
