[ZESTCaste] Slum dwellers from SC and ST can now get flats free in Delhi

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/192014/slum-dwellers-sc-st-can.html

Slum dwellers from SC and ST can now get flats free in Delhi
New Delhi, Sep 19, (PTI):

Slum dwellers from SC and ST communities in the city will be eligible
to get flats costing little over Rs three lakh virtually free with
Delhi Government as well as Centre deciding to bear the expenses.

A Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit decided to
waive Delhi Government's share of Rs 60,000 for each dwelling unit if
an SC or ST family gets a flat built under Rajiv Ratan Awas Yojna.

"The Delhi SC and ST Commission will pay the amount on behalf of the
families from these two categories. The Central government and the
land owning agency will also make their contribution," Dikshit said
adding the SC and ST families will get the flats almost free.

Dikshit said Delhi Government will start allotment process of nearly
5,000 low-cost flats to slum dwellers by next month and out of the
total allotees, SC and ST beneficiaries will not have to make any
contribution to the government.

The Chief Minister said the government will start allotment of around
7,000 flats by December.

Officials said government will shift select slum clusters to the newly
built flats and if there was any SC and ST families in the selected
slum cluster, then they will get the flats free of cost.

The government had earlier decided to begin the process of relocation
of 33 slums by allocating low-cost houses to eligible families as
construction of 9,660 flats have been completed and another 5,168 are
nearing completion.
