Rekha Gupta Government Takes Significant Step Towards Good Governance; Accountability Fixed for Delays in Delivery of Government Services

The Rekha Gupta Government has notified the Delhi (Right of Citizens to Time-Bound and Easy Delivery of Services) Act, 2026, replacing the 2011 law with a more modern, transparent and accountable system. Citizens will have a statutory right to receive government services within a prescribed timeframe, with a designated officer responsible for every service.

Applications will be made online with a unique number for tracking. If a service is delayed, the application itself will be treated as an appeal before the Citizen Grievance Redressal Authority, to be disposed of within 30 days, failing which it escalates automatically to the Delhi Service Rights Commission.

Officers may be fined ₹250 per day of unjustified delay, up to ₹5,000, and face a penalty of ₹250 to ₹5,000 for rejecting applications without proper grounds. CM Rekha Gupta said timely delivery of services is a citizen’s right and the administration’s responsibility, in line with PM Modi’s mantra of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’.

Delhi Government Notifies New Slum Rehabilitation Policy 2026; Permanent Homes for Nearly 5 Lakh Slum-Dwelling Families Under ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makan’

On the occasion of Diwali, the Rekha Gupta-led Delhi Government notified the Delhi Slum and Jhuggi Jhopri Relocation and Rehabilitation Policy, 2026, aimed at providing permanent and secure homes to eligible families in slum settlements across the capital. The policy is expected to benefit around 4 to 5 lakh families, covering nearly 20 lakh people. Eligible families will be provided 1-BHK units, with in-situ rehabilitation given priority, at the existing site or within a three-kilometre radius. Residential complexes will include schools, Anganwadi centres, healthcare facilities and playgrounds. Slums existing before January 1, 2025 will not be removed without alternative accommodation, families living independently on different floors may be considered for separate units, and eligible families with persons with disabilities will get priority for ground-floor units. Shared infrastructure and security will be maintained for five years from first allotment. Allotment will be through a computerised draw of lots, with a grievance redressal mechanism and a centralised GIS platform to prevent duplicate allotments. Under PPP redevelopment, developers must provide temporary housing, rental accommodation or rent assistance. CM Rekha Gupta said the aim is not merely to redevelop settlements but to give poor families a roof, dignity, security and better living facilities, inspired by PM Narendra Modi’s vision of Antyodaya and Garib Kalyan.
