Delhi Cabinet today decided to take up with the Union Government seeking permission to carry out developmental works in those unauthorized colonies which are now fulfilling condition of more than 50% built-up plots. It also agreed to the proposal of the Union Government for regularizing affluent colonies and has also given its nod to a scheme for conferring ownership rights in resettlement colonies.
While briefing the media after the Cabinet Meeting, Dikshit stated that her government is committed to regularize all unauthorized colonies and to carry out developmental works in such colonies in order to improve the standard of living of the large number of the residents. The colonies were considered for regularization as per norm of minimum 50% built-up plots as on 2007.
The remaining 450 colonies which were not fulfilling the condition on that day could not be considered as built-up percentage of plot varied from 10% to 45% or so, though, the colonies have now become eligible for consideration as the percentage of built-up plots has crossed 50% and is touching around 90% in such colonies. The 450 colonies were also not eligible for developmental works to be undertaken by the government agencies.
The city government would now take up with the Union Government to grant permission for carrying out developmental works and regularization of these colonies as per existing guidelines. Further, the Cabinet has expressed its agreement with the contents of the Cabinet note of the Union Government on regularization of the affluent colonies.
Dikshit further stated that the issue of grant of ownership rights in 45 resettlement colonies developed from 1950 onwards by the DDA/Government of India for relocation and resettlement of occupants of slums & JJ colonies has been awaiting finalization of a proper scheme.
