Delhi BJP president meets Kamal Nath, demands regularisation of 100 colonies
He has also demanded that the ministry allow further constructions to be carried out in those areas.
‘Due to application of `O’ zone in these colonies and villages, no developmental activity, including construction of hospitals, dispensaries, community centres, and schools can be carried out even on gram sabha land due to ban on construction activity in those areas,’ said Goel.
‘This is highly discriminatory with lakhs of residents living in these colonies and villages and justice needs to be done with them without any further delay,’ he added. He contended that these regularised colonies are situated more than 300 meters away from river Yamuna.
The BJP delegation also urged Nath to issue directions to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to allocate adequate land in these areas for construction of schools, community centres and hospitals for local residents, as only DDA is authorised to allocate land. It was also pointed out that in the rural areas of Delhi, no building by-laws were applicable and it was only on 17 January 2011 that DDA notified building by-laws for rural villages of Delhi, which is unfeasible keeping in mind the fact that there is no clear ownership of land or layout plans prepared for these villages. As a result, these rural areas should be exempted from application of building by-laws.
