17k Delhi slum dwellers awaiting flats for 30yrs
Thirty years after the Delhi Flat Registration Scheme was launched by the state government, 17,000 of the 20,000 slum dwellers from whom money was collected remain homeless, said media reports. Flats were allotted "only to 2,650 persons. At this pace, the complainant shall have to wait for 150 years before getting flats," the Delhi State Commission said.
