Delhi govt gets nod to regularise unauthorised colonies
Major relief is provided to around 40 lakh people in Delhi, as the Centre has given green signal to Delhi Government to regularise around 900 unauthorised colonies.
These colonies were given provisional regularisation certificates ahead of assembly polls in 2008. CM Sheila Dikshit‘s Parliamentary Secretary Mukesh Sharma stated that Delhi Government would issue a notification to regularise 917 colonies in the city.
The Delhi government had completed all the ground work for regularisation of the colonies, which has been a key poll promise of the Congress government. The decision is significant as the party is due to face election in 15 months.
Lack of developmental work in unauthorised colonies, considered as traditional Congress strongholds, was identified as a major reason for the party’s defeat in the municipal polls.
