Many recently regularized colonies were based on OUTDATED Layouts. Please discuss.
Note that these are not encroachments. Those colonies which were regularized in 2013, was a Much Delayed Decision. Eying the State Assembly Elections of 2013, the then Delhi Government did not consider that many Plots had NOT been shown on the Layout Plans of these colonies. They quickly regularized the earlier proposed Layouts/Maps which were ERRONEOUS and OUTDATED. Many owners had challenged the earlier proposed Layouts. In response, the concerned authorities acknowledged and assured (in writing) that their plots would definitely be part of the Approved Layout (whenever regularization happens).
Thereafter, these owners/victims have been repeatedly assured (both verbally and in-written also) by local politicians and concerned authorities that their plots would soon be regularized. But in reality nothing has been done so far.
Some people had invested lifetime savings to buy these plots. All these plot-owners were confident that whenever these colonies would be regularized, the Layout/Map will have their plots too (because they had written assurances from authorities). But due to the negligence of previous Delhi Government (of Congress), they were shocked when their plots were NOT visible in the Layout approved by the then State Government. Also note that these plots were Non-Disputed and had single owner always.
Also note that when these colonies were regularized, these owners had approached the authorities before itself for inclusion in the Layout to be approved. But in spite of all sorts of written assurance from the concerned authorities, their plots were not included because of the then State Government's lethargic behaviour. Since then, these people are just chasing every door they can, be it a politician or a bureaucrat.
As part of newly regularized colonies, these plot-owners should also be brought to justice. I request the newly formed Delhi Government to help these victims/owners by regularizing their plots too. Satyamev Jayate ! more
