Q:I saw in news , the Cabinet extended the cut-off date to be eligible for regularization from March 2002 to June 2014. Can anyone give clear idea about this?
Latest Answer: Hi Mr Akash,
As per Urban Development Minister, we took this matter to Cabinet after holding rounds of meetings with DDA, Lt Governor, Delhi government, MPs from Delhi and three municipal corporations. I also held meeting with law secretary and UD secretary prior to firming up this proposal. First, we gave three years' protection to all such colonies from demolition and sealing. Then we got Cabinet approval to regularize them. It will take some time for regularization, but we will do it.
Latest Answer: Some 205 colonies are planned to be regularized, but it will take time. This proposal was actually pending from last 4 years and now they have got approved. Earlier also some of the colonies got approval for being regularised and that work will be started now. Also the government has directed the municipal corporations to take the help of professional architectsand prepare layout plans for the colonies which were already regularised.
