Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday visited residents of Kathputli Colony. Kejriwal's visit comes two days after the residents alleged that they were beaten up by the police during the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) demolition drive and not allowed to take their belongings before their houses were razed.
During his visit, the Chief Minister, flanked by Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot, asked officers to provide basic facilities such as food and tents to those affected by the demolition drive.
Earlier this week, Kejriwal had criticised the DDA over its demolition drive at the colony .
"When the AAP government was formed, we introduced a policy under which no jhuggi would be demolished until the affected people were rehabilitated. People's houses have been brutally demolished. Young girls are on the streets. One child has died," Kejriwal said.
The Chief Minister also said it was not correct to engage the police during a demolition drive. "I am told that there is a high court order according to which houses cannot be demolished in this colony till November 16 and despite this, the demolition drive was launched," Kejriwal said.
After his visit, later in the day, Kejriwal met Lt Governor Anil Baijal over the issue. Sources said that the chief minister had requested the L-G to provide all basic facilities to the residents and the latter agreed.
"Tents, water, food, toilets, etc, will be provided to the residents of the colony by the Delhi government as soon as possible. Orders have been passed to the officers concerned for the same," a government official said.
Meanwhile, in a statement, the DDA countered Kejriwal's remarks and claimed that the chief minister had"appreciated" the work being carried out by it as per the orders of the high court.
