DUSIB Begins Feasibility Studies for In-Situ Rehabilitation of 4,870 Jhuggis in Delhi
The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) has initiated the process to rehabilitate 4,870 jhuggis across Sultanpuri, Lajpat Nagar, and Seelampur through in-situ redevelopment. It plans to appoint transaction advisers to conduct feasibility studies, secure approvals, and assist in selecting private developers. Separate proposals for each location have been issued, with consultancy expected to conclude within 16 weeks. This effort aligns with Delhi's broader Slum and JJ Cluster Rehabilitation Policy, focusing on redevelopment rather than relocation.
