He said that the population living in irregular colonies have to face all kinds of problems. The people living there are also deprived of basic facilities, so the Center has decided to give ownership to the people living there. With this, those people will be able to take their land from purchase to sale and loan.

Along with this, the Union Minister also said that, since the people living in these colonies belong to the lower income group, their land rates will be fixed on the basis of their annual income. In deciding the rate, it will also be checked what the current circle rate of the land being traded at. He said that 1797 colonies have been identified by the Central Government for regularization. These exclude forest department land, protected land and 69 other identified colonies.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal while welcoming the decision of the Center said that this is a very old demand of the people of Delhi. We welcome this decision and I want to thank the Central Government for this step on behalf of the public.
