PM Modi to inaugurate development projects in Delhi on Friday

The inauguration of the projects comes ahead of the PM’s first election rally in Delhi expected on Sunday. The rally was initially scheduled for the last Sunday of December but was deferred in view of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s death.

According to a statement by the Prime Minister’s Office, PM Modi will visit Ashok Vihar where he will hand over the keys to flats at Swabhimaan Apartments that were constructed as in-situ rehabilitation for residents of the slum cluster.

The statement said PM Modi will inaugurate the 1,675 newly constructed flats for the slum dwellers. Eligible beneficiaries will have to pay ₹1.42 lakh as nominal contribution and ₹30,000 as maintenance for five years for every ₹25 lakh spent on the construction of a flat by the government.
