To fund the slum-free city project, the Delhi government has proposed to sell off land lying unused for years. The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) has identified 80 plots under the department, which can be sold to earn R 100 crore. This cannot be used for commercial purpose so we have proposed to sell it off. Once the proposal is cleared, the department will prepare the plan to sell off other lands, which are lying unused. But the new government has suggested that land can be used for temporarily for commercial purpose,” the official said.
