Speaking to persons during her visit to a slum, CM Gupta said that the government is building all these facilities, including drains, toilets and parks for slum dwellers.

'I have just come to a slum area where we are laying sewer lines and I want to give a message to all the slum dwellers of Delhi that these people who are in shock that the government has not completed 100 days and so much work is going on continuously are circulating some lists in WhatsApp groups as part of a conspiracy that slums will be demolished. Not even one slum settlement, not even one slum colony of Delhi, will be demolished. We have kept a budget of Rs 700 crores for different kinds of work in the slums. To provide all these facilities like drains, toilets, bathrooms and parks for children, we are investing crores of rupees in every slum area,' CM Gupta said.

'The government is working in the interest of the people and the slum dwellers. Yamuna ji should be cleaned, and we are working on this goal,' she added.

The Delhi CM further stated that the government has appointed responsible officers for every waterlogging point in the national capital, and strict actions will be taken if they fail to fulfil their responsibility. (ANI)
