PTI | 08:09 PM,Sep 28,2011Nath also said that the government should be considering more houses for the weaker sections and also Low Income Group Houses. "I have set a target for Delhi. One Lakh houses for the economically weaker sections. This is one issue we will have to confront otherwise we will see more slums," he said.It is not just the slums of the past but also of the future that need to be addressed, Nath said. One is to rehabilitate those living in the slums from the past and the second task is to create enough houses for the economically weaker sections "in abundance" for the future, the minister told a gathering."In our new Urban renewal mission we are going to incentivise (construction of houses for) Low Income Groups and Economically Weaker Section," Nath added.Earlier Nath said that the country was facing a "huge infrastructure deficits in areas whether it is ports, roads or energy." Finance for creating infrastructure and closing this deficit was not a problem he said. "Financing is the least of our problems. In India it not projects that chase financing.It is finance that is chasing projects," he said.The challenge was to identify the right kind of Public Private Partnership (PPP) and make them work, he said.
