  5. Verification of ‘Sazra’ maps for these villages by local authorities.

Developments made so far, this year:

Gram sabha land was identified and marked to be kept separate from Land Pooling, as was asked by Delhi Govt.

North and South Muncipal bodies have passed resolutions for notifying 89 villages as urban areas.

Delhi Govt gave a in-principal nod to the Land Pooling Policy. Chief Minister, Mr Arvind Kejriwal, openly lauded the policy.

Pending issues and work being done on their resolution:

Issue: Delhi Govt has sought some clarifications regarding provision of civic amenities in the developed areas.

Solution: Both the MCDs (North and South) have been asked by the Ministry to expedite their reply to the Delhi Govt.

Issue: Delhi Govt had asked for 10% of developed land for infrastructure development.
