Bakkarwala Resettlement Colony, New Delhi
LOCATION
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING
The primary occupation within the settlement includes construction workers, domestic labourers, factory workers and street vendors. The community receives an average monthly income of INR 4,000-10,000 Many houses on the main streets have been rented out, or turned into small shops, while some vacant edges have been converted into small religious shrines. High groundwater level and water quality is hard, but it is still used for non-potable household chores.
COMMUNITY CONTEXT
The site is mainly occupied by Rajasthan, Gujarati and Bihari communities. These communities have been relocated as part of proposed developments around the Commonwealth Games held in 2010.
KEY COMMUNITY CHALLENGES
The overflows from the drain seep into the water storage tank, thus compromising the quality of water. This issue seems to be prevalent during monsoon.
