areas to industrial complexes at Narela, Badli, Jhilmil, Patparganj
and Bawana. Infrastructure including roads, power, water and drainage
works are in various stages of progress or have been completed.
To facilitate the remaining 11,000 eligible applicants, the Delhi
Development Authority and Government of NCT of Delhi have identified
additional land measuring 1930 acres at Narela, Mundaka and Rohini
Zones. Encumbrances and obstacles for acquisition of land are
encroachments and non-availability of sufficient infrastructure.
Various steps to identify and acquire land for relocation and
for providing for infrastructure facilities are stated to have
been taken by the Government of NCT of Delhi.
It is a fact
that number of unauthorised colonies exist in rural areas in Delhi.
The Government has filed guidelines for regularization of unauthorised
colonies in Delhi, in the Delhi High Court in CWP No. 4771/93

directed the Union Government to notify the colonies which would
be regularised in terms of the guidelines. However, the list of
such colonies is awaited from Government of NCT of Delhi.
