Following a recent call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Delhi government resolved to ensure the provision of clean water, toilets, and bathing facilities in slums. Under this initiative, South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri laid the foundation stone for the construction and renovation of toilets in more than 12 slums in his constituency, at a cost of 10 crore rupees. He also expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for promptly making the funds available.
