Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that the Delhi government is developing a comprehensive strategy to address the demand for one million houses for economically weaker sections (EWS) and slum dwellers across the Capital.

During a visit to EWS flats built in 2011 in Sultanpuri, which are now in a dilapidated state, Ms. Gupta stated that the government plans to renovate around 50,000 unused flats constructed under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and allocate them to slum residents.
