Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on the issue of postponing the evacuation of the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) colony in Sarojini Nagar.

He has written to Naidu in this regard and sought an appointment a week after he asked postponement of the evacuation of the GPRA colony in Sarojini Nagar till the flats at Kidwai Nagar were ready.

A senior government official said that the Delhi Chief Minister has written another letter expressing his desire to meet him over the issue.

In his first letter, Kejriwal had said he had received representations from the Joint Federation of Residents Welfare Associations of Sarojini Nagar, seeking a postponement of the evacuation.
 

He had also said that though the Directorate of Estates had evacuated five government colonies -- at Kidwai Nagar, Nauroji Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Mohammadpur and Sriniwaspuri -- new flats for government employees were yet to come up.
