&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Delhi government has admitted in an RTI reply that there is no law to check the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies, thus defeating the purpose of planned development. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With no law in place to check their inception and growth or to punish the people involved, we are unable to put a cap on their rising numbers. The law only punishes people who buy the illegal properties and start construction. But those who sell these properties after dividing large chunks of agricultural land go scot-free,&amp;quot; said Bijwasan MLA Satprakash Rana, who had filed the RTI with the government last January. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In its reply, the urban development department said there was no information of anyone being prosecuted for the crime so far. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;However, the reply mentioned that the government is planning to form a committee which will look into formulation of a law,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; Rana said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A senior official in the Lieutenant Governor&amp;rsquo;s office said with no check on their growing numbers, the need for a policy to curb the trend is being felt. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a critical issue because in many cases, politicians and influential people are also involved. Every month, at least four small and big unauthorised colonies come up. They are sold either in the form of small plots or houses,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; said the official. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Urban development minister Raj Kumar Chauhan also confirmed that the state government is considering formulating a law to check the growth of unauthorised colonies. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;The way they are growing, the number of unauthorised colonies on agricultural land could touch 2,000,&amp;rdquo; said Chauhan. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In fact, between 1977 &amp;mdash; the year in which the government regularized all unauthorized colonies that had come up till then &amp;mdash; and 2010, over 1,639 illegal colonies have come up in the capital. Between 1977 and 1994, these colonies came up on private agricultural lands. In 1994, the then BJP government prepared a list of 1,071 unauthorised colonies for regularisation. In the next 16 years, their numbers swelled to 1,639. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Delhi government has admitted in an RTI reply that there is no law to check the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies, thus defeating the purpose of planned development. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With no law in place to check their inception and growth or to punish the people involved, we are unable to put a cap on their rising numbers.

But those who sell these properties after dividing large chunks of agricultural land go scot-free,&amp;quot; said Bijwasan MLA Satprakash Rana, who had filed the RTI with the government last January. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In its reply, the urban development department said there was no information of anyone being prosecuted for the crime so far. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;However, the reply mentioned that the government is planning to form a committee which will look into formulation of a law,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; Rana said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A senior official in the Lieutenant Governor&amp;rsquo;s office said with no check on their growing numbers, the need for a policy to curb the trend is being felt. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a critical issue because in many cases, politicians and influential people are also involved. Every month, at least four small and big unauthorised colonies come up. They are sold either in the form of small plots or houses,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; said the official. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Urban development minister Raj Kumar Chauhan also confirmed that the state government is considering formulating a law to check the growth of unauthorised colonies. &amp;lsquo;&amp;lsquo;The way they are growing, the number of unauthorised colonies on agricultural land could touch 2,000,&amp;rdquo; said Chauhan. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

There is no law to curb illegal colonies: Govt by Dipak Kumar Dash

The Delhi government has admitted in an RTI reply that there is no law to check the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies, thus defeating the purpose of planned development. "With no law in place to check their inception and growth or to punish the people involved, we are unable to put a cap on their rising numbers. The law only punishes people who buy the illegal properties and start construction. But those who sell these properties after dividing large chunks of agricultural land go scot-free," said Bijwasan MLA Satprakash Rana, who had filed the RTI with the government last January. In its reply, the urban development department said there was no information of anyone being prosecuted for the crime so far. ‘‘However, the reply mentioned that the government is planning to form a committee which will look into formulation of a law,’’ Rana said. A senior official in the Lieutenant Governor’s office said with no check on their growing numbers, the need for a policy to curb the trend is being felt. ‘‘It’s a critical issue because in many cases, politicians and influential people are also involved. Every month, at least four small and big unauthorised colonies come up. They are sold either in the form of small plots or houses,’’ said the official. Urban development minister Raj Kumar Chauhan also confirmed that the state government is considering formulating a law to check the growth of unauthorised colonies. ‘‘The way they are growing, the number of unauthorised colonies on agricultural land could touch 2,000,” said Chauhan. In fact, between 1977 — the year in which the government regularized all unauthorized colonies that had come up till then — and 2010, over 1,639 illegal colonies have come up in the capital. Between 1977 and 1994, these colonies came up on private agricultural lands. In 1994, the then BJP government prepared a list of 1,071 unauthorised colonies for regularisation. In the next 16 years, their numbers swelled to 1,639.
