Delhi accepts all conditions of Central govt for regularisation of unauthorised colonies

NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi, gave directions to his ministers to immediately accept all conditions laid down by the Centre related to the proposed regularisation of unauthorised colonies in the Capital

The directions to this effect were issued during a meeting of Cabinet, on July 20, where the CM reviewed points regarding the regularisation of the colonies.

“It is not the time for blame game. Even a minute’s delay will not be tolerated. It has been decades since the residents of unauthorised colonies have been waiting to lead life with dignity. We have to cooperate with the Centre on this very important issue to every extent possible,” Kejriwal said at the meeting, as per sources.

Earlier this month, the CM announced that the Centre has agreed to the Delhi government’s proposal of providing ownership rights of their houses to the residents of unauthorised colonies in Delhi .

Post strict directions by the CM that no delay will be tolerated, the concerned ministers gave their inputs which are now being collated and will be sent to the CM’s desk for his approval before communicating the same to the Centre.

As per the government sources, the CM has already given directions to the Revenue department to be prepared for providing ownership rights to residents of unauthorised colonies soon after the Centre’s approval.
