(a) the actual numbers of slum colonies settled on the Government/Semi-Government land
in Delhi;
(b) whether the Government is planning to rehabilitate the slum dwellers by way of
changing the land-use and constructing multi-storied flats/developing plots on the same
land instead of relocating them elsewhere; and
(c) if so, the configuration of this scheme and the time by which the scheme is likely
to be implemented?

about 1080 jhuggi clusters existing on the government/ semi-government land scattered all
over Delhi.
(b) and (c) While considering the recommendations made by the Committee set up to prepare a
Master Plan for making Delhi slum free, it has been decided to explore possibilities of
relocating slum dwellers in multi-storeyed tenements. DDA has been asked to prepare models
for such relocation.
