Cabinet decides to regularise 895 colonies of Delhi

New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Monday approved amendment to the existing guidelines that enables regularization of 895 colonies of Delhi which have come up till June 1, 2014.

This will provide the benefits accruing from regularization to 60 lakh people in unauthorised colonies that have come in existence between 31.03.2014 and 01.06.2014.

Lok Sabha had earlier passed a bill in this month to regularise unauthorised colonies and rehabilitate slum dwellers in Delhi after incorporating a key amendment suggested by BJP members from the national capital.

The National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Amendment Bill 2014, seeking extension of the existing Act for a period of three years from January 1, 2015, was passed after the government agreed to the amendment.

The amendment sought extension of cut off date for colonies eligible for authorisation.
