Kejriwal Proposes Joint Housing Scheme for Delhi Government Employees

The plan aims to provide affordable housing for sanitation workers and other employees, contingent on central government support for subsidized land.

  • Arvind Kejriwal has proposed a joint housing scheme with the central government to address housing challenges for Delhi's government employees, starting with sanitation workers.
  • Under the plan, the central government would provide subsidized land, and the Delhi government would construct affordable housing units.
  • Sanitation workers would pay for the homes in easy installments deducted from their salaries during their final years of service, ensuring ownership post-retirement.
  • Kejriwal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging support for the scheme to benefit economically vulnerable groups and address post-retirement housing insecurity.
  • The initiative is part of a broader set of welfare-focused election promises by the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the February 5 Delhi Assembly elections.
