Slum clearing drive in Indore

Q: I heard that the slums are being cleared out in Indore. But are the authorities doing something for these slum dwellers, or are they just gonna flock the roads?

Yes you’re right about the lottery system being used for all these slum dwellers. Initially there were 1000 residents who needed to get houses, from these slums. But finally the number came down to 148. They were allotted flats last Friday under the Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana. This was the final batch of the slum dwellers who needed to be allotted houses. So now the slums are all cleared, and they can be demolished and construction work for the proposed park can be started here soon.

No no, don’t worry. Obviously the IMC are going to do something for these slum dwellers, although I don’t know exactly what. All I know is that the places like Panchsheel Nagar (Airport Road) will be totally slum free pretty soon. Basically the IMC are planning to clear out this area completely and create a nice park here. I think there is some kind of a lottery system involved in the flat allocation for all these displaced slum dwellers. I’m not sure, can someone elaborate?
