Track2Realty-Agencies: Delhi Government on Wednesday, Sep 26, issued directions to allow sale, purchase and registration of property in 312 unauthorised colonies built on private land. These were among the 895 colonies regularised early this month.
Property transactions in the remaining 583 colonies, however, may be allowed only early next year as these are built on government land and the state will need time to remove legal hurdles.
For the Delhi Government, this is yet another attempt to win over lakhs of voters in these colonies in the run-up to the 2013 assembly polls.
While the direction to allow registration in these colonies will translate into an official order only after the law department’s scrutiny, both Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit and Minister for Urban Development, Arvinder Singh Lovely, are pushing for an early declaration.
Chairing the first review of the task force on regularisation of unauthorised colonies, the CM instructed officers to speed up regularisation of the remaining 583 colonies.
As per the notification, these 583 colonies can be regularised only after the state recovers the cost of public land on behalf of the land owning agency.
“Many of these colonies do not fit the exact description of government land and thus a scrutiny is necessary,” Lovely said.
The government plans to be ready with an action plan to allow sale, purchase and registration of properties in these colonies by January next year. Dikshit has also instructed the municipal corporations to finalize layout plans of all the regularised colonies by December 31.
