DDA assures authorised ownership of the houses to all residents
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Sunday said that under Prime Minister Uday Yojna, the residents of unauthorised colonies are being given authorised ownership of their properties. In a tweet, the DDA said, "For years the residents of unauthorised colonies did not have property rights. It was difficult to buy or sell properties in these unauthorised colonies. It was also impossible to take loans from banks. Under PM UDAY Yojna, the residents of the unauthorised colonies are being given property rights over their properties in these colonies."
"Under this scheme, all residents of unauthorised colonies will get authorised ownership of their house or flat," the DDA said in another tweet.
Hardeep Singh Puri and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday locked horns on Twitter over the issue of unauthorised colonies. Regularisation of unauthorised colonies has emerged as a major poll plank for the upcoming Assembly elections in Delhi. While on one hand, BJP has promised to regularise the unauthorised colonies, the AAP has called it a "blatant lie" of the Centre.
