M Venkaiah Naidu, Union Minister for Urban Development

Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and all the municipal bodies of Delhi have been instructed by the Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu to get their respective land mapped properly using latest GIS and Information Technology, a statement from the ministry said.

The minister on Tuesday reviewed issues relating to urbanisation and development of NCR with Members of Parliament from Delhi, Mayors and Chief Executives of municipal bodies including NDMC and DDA.

Naidu instructed that details of the land should be made available in the public domain and all MPs, MLAs and Corporators and general public should provide necessary information in this regard to respective agencies so that the problem of encroachment can be addressed.

He also suggested that DDA submit full details of various pending court cases in respect of its land and launch a campaign for eviction of its encroached land.

Institutional framework would also be put in place for creation of a separate agency for maintenance of public toilets in Delhi on PPP basis which would be examined by Urban Development Ministry in consultation with Delhi Government, the statement added.

Naidu also directed that a concept paper be prepared within 15 days for a fresh look at regularisation of all unauthorised colonies in Delhi, after which the Delhi Government in consultation with Urban Development Ministry would prepare an action plan.
