Union Home Minister and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for development projects worth about ₹1,400 crore in Ahmedabad on Monday, with Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel present.
Shah said works worth around ₹1,024 crore were taken up by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), and projects worth about ₹400 crore were completed or begun by the Gujarat government's Roads and Buildings Department and the Centre.
Housing for slum residents
Shah recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scheme in 2007 to give permanent houses to slum dwellers, which he said is now being carried forward by Chief Minister Patel. He said residents of Ramapir No Tekro are now being given private flats, and that once the whole project is complete, more than 55,000 people will have social security, recreation, education and health facilities in one complex.
