Amid the glory and beautified Delhi, lies a part of Delhi covered in green sheets to hide the poverty, and unorganized slum areas of the city which is hidden behind green sheets.

The Quint shared some pictures, which shows how Delhi's ambitious beautification project involving the refurbishment of roads, the construction of underpasses, and the creation of murals. All of this has led to displacement of Delhi's slum-dwellers, as well as the areas they live in being covered with plastic sheets and flex boards.

Local shopkeepers and kirana store owners in Delhi's Coolie Camp, which is on the travel route of G20 leaders, also found their shops covered by similar green sheets one fine day.

Shankar Lal, a resident of Coolie Camp for over 50 years, told The Quint that "authorities visited the area less than a week ago and covered all the slums and shops with green sheets."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for India at the G20 is one of a modern superpower, a prominent leader of the Global South, and a vocal advocate for impoverished nations. But will the nation just be developed on the surface and on a deep rooted level the reality of the city will be hidden behind green sheets?
