Chandigarh's Clean Slate: Shahpur Colony Razed as City Becomes India's First Slum-Free Urban Centre

Chandigarh: In a historic milestone, Chandigarh has officially become India's first slum-free city after authorities demolished Shahpur Colony, the last remaining slum within the city limits. The move marks the culmination of a twelve-year drive by the local administration, which has reclaimed over 520 acres of public land and paved the way for modern urban development.
