Regularization to be key poll issue again

NEW DELHI: The issue of regularization of unauthorized colonies will be a dominant issue in the upcoming assembly elections. Recently, the Delhi government informed the three municipal corporations that it will not pay for the layouts of unauthorized colonies which have been notified for regularization. Sources say that the resident welfare associations have been asked to pay for the layouts. This has given BJP, which is the ruling party in all the municipal corporations, a chance to attack the Congress-led Delhi government and its "flawed policies". However, the government claims that it is following the central government policies.

"The government has communicated to us last month that it will not pay for the layouts. It has been suggested that the RWAs should be asked to pay. We had selected a few colonies for the preparation of layouts and have informed the RWAs of these colonies that they have to pay," said a senior South corporation official.

The BJP, which has been out of power in the state for nearly 14 years, has launched an attack on the Delhi government accusing it of "misleading residents of unauthorized colonies".

"They are not thinking about the welfare of lakhs of people living in these colonies. They notified the list of unauthorized colonies in a hurry," said Subhash Arya, leader of the House, South corporation. Though the government had agreed to pay for the layouts in a meeting with LG Tejendra Khanna, it has now gone back on its word. Now, they want to blame the corporation for not preparing the layouts, added Arya.

While the civic agencies claim that the Delhi government is yet to take a final decision regarding the cut-off date for preparing the layouts, Delhi's urban development minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said, "The layouts have to be prepared as per the present ground situation. The civic agencies have been informed about it. As for unauthorized construction on land, which was vacant in 2007, the civic agency is to be blamed."

In a meeting last week, the Delhi government had agreed to pay the initial amount so that the work can start.

As per the rules, RWAs have to pay for the layouts. The government was to pay the initial amount, which the corporations will collect from RWAs at the time of regularization, said Lovely.

But the corporation, which had roped in three government institutions to prepare the layouts, said it can't start the work if RWAs have to pay. "If the RWAs have to pay, then they can get the layouts made from any agency. We can't force them to get it made from our agencies," said Arya.
