Question

According to 2019 statistics, approximately ___ population of Delhi lives in 1797 unauthorised colonies.

• A. 50%
• B. 10%
• C. 30%
• D. 15%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 30%

Few of the unauthorised colonies were recognised by the local authority. They became designated slum areas or resettlement colonies or regularised. But, still there are many areas in Delhi that are not legal settlements. Statistics suggest that in 2019, 30% of Delhi's population lived in 1,797 unauthorised colonies.
