South Corporation okays regularisation of 3 colonies
Ahead of Delhi Assembly elections scheduled later this
year, the BJP-led civic bodies have expedited the regularisation process
of unauthorized colonies. The South Delhi Municipal Corporation on
Tuesday approved regularisation plan of three unauthorized colonies –
Rajouri Garden Extension, Meethapur and Badarpur.
SDMC
has around 190 such unauthorised colonies in its jurisdiction. Sources
said that ahead of the elections the BJP wants to finalise the plans of
at least 50 colonies.
The North MCD regularised one colony – Bhagwan Park- in May and East MCD regularised three colonies in January this year.
The
Delhi Government had regularised 895 unauthorised colonies out of 1,639
such settlements with certain riders in September last year paving the
way for their development on par with other areas in the city.
