The "Jaha Jhuggi Waha Makaan" manifesto promised affordable housing to Delhi's slum dwellers, but for many, that promise remains unfulfilled.
On June 11, 2025, 300 jhuggis in Govindpuri's Bhoomiheen camp, Southeast Delhi, were razed to the ground.
Construction agencies are now clearing the rubble of cement, metal, and bricks. According to DDA statements, the government demolished approximately 344 jhuggis, displacing at least 1,860 families. Today, large bulldozers arrived to remove the debris—the remnants.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently stated that authorities cannot defy court demolition orders and insisted that displaced residents "have been provided accommodation."
This claim rings hollow on the ground for many.
