500 flats allotted to slum dwellers [1]

Nearly 500 jhuggi dwellers from eight slum tenements on Wednesday became proud owners of their dwelling units, at least on paper, as they were presented with allotment letters to their houses at a function at Delhi Secretariat. The Government has in this scheme for the first time used biometrics to ensure that there was no duplication in allotment and no sale of the flats that are meant for rehabilitation.

While Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit handed over the allotment letters to 40 eligible beneficiaries, the rest were presented the allotment letters at the function itself.
