Talking to Dynamite News, Nursery People told that 'injustice was done to them'.
"The law of Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) is that the slums which were built before 2006 are listed by DUSIB. These slums have been settled much before 2006. We have ration card and voter ID card here. They have done injustice to us,” one the persons of the slum told Dynamite News.
