Some hope for slum-dwellers

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, DEC. 15. The Delhi Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, today said the problem of housing in the Capital, particularly for those staying in slums, could be solved through a comprehensive scheme of co-operative housing implemented in co-ordination between the Delhi Government and the Central Government.

Reiterating her government's commitment for in-situ development of slums and a rational and humane rehabilitation policy, Ms. Dikshit said low cost co-operative housing was high on the Government's agenda and concrete steps would be taken in next few months.

Speaking at a national seminar on "Co-operative Housing for Slum Dwellers" organised by the National Co-operative Housing Federation of India, Ms. Dikshit said the Delhi Co-operative Bill would be introduced in the winter session of the Delhi Assembly Session. She hoped that the enactment of this Bill would provide an impetus to the co-operative movement in the Capital.
