New Delhi, April 17: Following the interaction, the LG directed the concerned departments to address residents' concerns on priority.

  • Seepage in some flats

  • Poor garbage management

  • Irregular functioning of lifts in a few towers

  • Problems caused by miscreants in the area

Directions Issued

The LG directed DDA, district administration, and Delhi Police to resolve the issues on priority. He stressed that Swabhiman Apartments represents transformative infrastructure and that poor maintenance must not be allowed to undermine such landmark initiatives.

Project Background

Swabhiman Apartments is among the flagship housing projects being implemented under the Prime Minister's vision of "Jahan Jhuggi, Wahin Makan" , aimed at rehabilitating residents of jhuggi-jhopri clusters through in-situ redevelopment.

Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated 1,675 newly constructed flats at Swabhiman Apartments and handed over keys to eligible beneficiaries, marking the completion of DDA's second successful in-situ slum rehabilitation project.

The housing complex comprises modern pucca multi-storey residential units with ownership rights, designed to provide dignified and secure housing to economically weaker sections.
