Registration on for plot owners in Delhi's 104 villages

A senior DDA official said that so far 6,930 hectares of land has been registered by people in all the villages

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has reopened the registration of land owners in 104 urbanised villages under its land pooling policy till December 24, with officials saying that it is being done due to an amendment in the policy and declaration of nine new villages as development areas by the Delhi government.

Til now, only group housing complexes were allowed in land pooling areas for residential development but the latest amendment allows plotted development as well. (Picture for representation only/HT Archive)

“This has been done to allow land-owners to participate in the scheme. While these villages were notified in 2018, land owners here couldn’t participate as these were not declared as development areas. We have given time for 45 days (from November 11) to register for land pooling,” said a senior DDA official.

Last month, the Delhi government notified nine villages -- Bankner, Holambi Kalan, Bhorgarh, Khera Kalan, Kureni, Mamoorpur, Narela, Mubarakpur Dabas and Barwala -- as development areas.
