Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated several development projects in Shalimar Bagh, emphasizing that 'achhe din' have arrived for slum dwellers. Gupta committed Rs 700 crores from the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) for slum welfare, promising to renovate and allocate 52,000 flats constructed a decade ago to these communities.

Criticizing former administrations, she accused them of neglecting slum dwellers and misleading them about the BJP's intentions. Gupta assured citizens that the BJP government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, is prioritizing the provision of basic amenities such as water, parks, and toilets.

The Chief Minister's recent high-level meeting with District Magistrates focused on enhancing administrative efficiency and problem resolution. Key topics included public service delivery, digitization of land records, and disaster preparedness. Gupta reaffirmed the government's zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, insisting on transparency, accountability, and addressing everyday issues such as waterlogging and traffic congestion.
