The Slum and JJ Wing of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, responsible for implementation of various schemes and programmes to provide minimum civic amenities and resettlement of sqatter families, has miserably failed to provide the intended amenities and relocate slum dwellers due to its officials lax attitude. Pulling up officials of the Slum Department, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its report for the financial year 2001-2002, has said the MCD needed to 'review' its activities to streamline the procedures for effective implementation of schemes to ensure the intended benefits reached the poorest of the poor.
