Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated 3,024 newly-constructed flats at Kalkaji, Delhi under the 'In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project' and handed over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Bhoomiheen Camp.
"Today is a big day for thousands of slum dwellers; a new beginning to life. As I handed over the keys to eligible beneficiaries, I could see their happy and joyous faces. Over 3000 houses have been constructed in the first phase of the Kalkaji extension," Narendra Modi said.
"With the aim to take development to the grassroots, we ensured financial inclusion for all those who did not have access to bank accounts. Our Government has included all those belonging to the unbanked & uninsured section of society," said PM Modi.
"Other families residing here will also get a chance to housewarming very soon. I have faith that these efforts by Central government will play a key role in making Delhi an ideal city... our government has as much focus on poverty-stricken families residing in urban cities too," the Prime Minister said.
"Under PM Modi's leadership, people living in the jhuggis of Delhi will get their own house. Over 3000 flats are arranged in Kalkaji for over 500 people," Delhi LG Saxena, who was also present at the event said.
