Slum dwellers of Patiala, Bathinda and Fazilka districts will get proprietary rights in the first phase of the Chief Minister’s Slum Development Program — BASERA. Those living in the slums of Moga will be granted their rights by shifting them to a separate municipal land.
Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh gave his approval to the decisions at a high-level virtual meeting on Wednesday, thus paving the way for helping a total of 2,816 individuals/units in 10 slums — 364 in Patiala, 200 in Bathinda, 2,000 in Abohar (Fazilka) and 252 in Moga (residents in three slums of Moga will be shifted), in the first go, with one lakh slum dwellers to get such rights eventually across all districts of the state.
