Slum settlement in south Delhi veiled for BRICS Summit

Authorities in south Delhi have temporarily concealed a slum area ahead of the BRICS summit, prompting local residents to voice frustration. Community members argue that the government’s focus on hiding the settlement detracts from needed investments in welfare and poverty‑alleviation programs. The move highlights tensions between security preparations for the international event and the demands of the affected neighbourhood.
