New Delhi, July 07: Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has finalised plans for in-situ rehabilitation of 'jhuggi-jhopdi' (JJ) clusters in the national capital based on the Mumbai pattern. Three clusters have already been identified for a pilot project under which JJ clusters would be rehabilitated at the very place where they are presently located by construction of flats and allotting them to the dwellers at subsidised rates, a DDA release said here today.
The money for construction of these flats would be recovered by constructing commercial complexes on the land reclaimed after rehabilitation the clusters, the release said.
It added that these steps would improve the environment and also not disrupt the services which dwellers provide to nearby residents.
A team, comprising senior officers from engineering, planning, land management departments of DDA and also of Hudco, have already surveyed 14 clusters located in various parts of Delhi, it said. Bureau Report
