Mumtaz Sanghamita asks a Question regarding projects for urban slum development

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Thank you, Madam. We know that urban slums or rather, the dwellers of the urban slums, are in a wretched condition; the slums are very unhygienic, they do not get access to proper toilets or drinking water supply. Neither do they have proper shelters.

During the Budget, it was said that there will be projects for urban slum development in the form of residential houses. I want to know from the Hon Minister, what is the situation in that regard? Are there any projects, and if so, how many projects are there in purview? Is the PIP being made and if so, how many of them are active now? How many of them are in process, specially in the major cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi.
