Yesterday, Tiwari had said, “Now is the time to work for slum dwellers in the city, which is possible only if Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Housing for All by 2022’ scheme is implemented, according to PTI report. Tiwari also said that he is committed towards upliftment of the lives of the Delhi’s ‘jhuggi’ dwellers. He said this during his visit to Surajpur Jhuggi Basti in Samaypur Badli of north Delhi to learn about the problems of the families living there.
The Delhi BJP chief, accompanied by Leader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta and the area councillor Preety Agarwal, said the “jhuggi dwellers have a crucial role in Delhi’s development but it is regrettable that no government has brought a holistic policy for their cohesive betterment”.
