Overview

  • On June 1, Delhi authorities demolished the Madrasi Camp in Jangpura under a High Court order to clear the Barapullah drain ahead of the monsoon season.
  • Chief Minister M K Stalin announced a Rs50 lakh package on June 16 to deliver one-time cash grants of Rs8,000 and essential commodities worth Rs4,000 to each of over 370 displaced Tamil families.
  • A joint survey certified 189 families as eligible for Economically Weaker Section flats in Narela, but most units lacked running water, electricity and sanitation and were deemed unfit for habitation.
  • Another 181 families have not received any alternative accommodation and remain homeless after the demolition.
  • Stalin has urged Delhi authorities to upgrade community infrastructure in Narela, provide dedicated transport links for residents and relax eligibility criteria to extend housing to all affected families.
