NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced that land owners in 1797 unauthorised colonies of Delhi would soon get ownership rights of their properties. The
AAP government in November 2015 had approved a proposal and sent it to the central government for approval.
At a press conference Kejriwal announced that positive response came from central government on Wednesday. The central government has sought replies on some points for which Kejriwal held a meeting with senior bureaucrats on Thursday morning. The Delhi government will soon submit the replies so that the process of regularizing the
unauthorized colonies can be started soon.
"Soon the prepration for starting the registry will begin," Kejriwal stated on Twitter while thanking the BJP led central government on behalf of the people of Delhi.
Regularization of unauthorized colonies is a long pending demand of people owning lands in these areas. It has been dominating issues during elections in the national capital.
