The first acquaintance. New have put

you are: the First acquaintance

New Delhi always was a city of palaces, country houses and private residences which is difficult for making out behind magnificent greens. Now the city finds other silhouette. In many areas, mostly in the centre, one behind another high-rise buildings of modern architecture rise. They are quite often occupied by headquarters of the state industrial corporations. Streets are reconstructed, in a number of places overpasses for unloading of highways with intensive movement are built.

Here a high-rise building of the state corporation ' Indian ojl '. It is recollected, how in the early sixties in Delhi and its vicinities there were first petrol filling stations with this name. It were units among set of others, belonging to foreign oil monopolies, such, as ' Kalteks ', ' Byormann a shell '. Involuntarily then there was a question, whether will manage ' Indian ojl ' to win to itself a place of honour in the oil market in own country. Now such question does not exist: ' Indian ojl ' has filling stations on all country. At autumn session of the Indian parliament in 1981 decisions on nationalisation in Assam last private oil companies have been made.

Progressive democratic tendencies punch to themselves a way to all aspects of life. So, on a place of pity hovels and slums in Delhi there are quarters of apartment houses for simple people: the workers serving, teachers. Certainly, it only the first steps. The problem of habitation for poor men, for those who at all has no shelter over a head, far is not solved. In a city is to 400 trushchobnyh settlements. But it is important, that a stone will shift from a place. Both in Delhi, and on all country various programs of building of habitation for the poorest levels of population are carried out, and the state puts before itself a problem to find gradually the decision of this challenge.
