Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal on Wednesday tasked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) with preparing year-wise data of encroachment on its land in the Capital and devising an action plan to free it.
More facilitation centres
The L-G issued the order at the fortnightly meeting with the land-owning agency at Raj Niwas, where he also approved a plan on ‘Digital Delivery of all Services in DDA’ in a time-bound manner.
The L-G also directed the DDA to set up more ‘Nagrik Suvidha Kendras’ (citizen facilitation centres).
Mr. Baijal stressed that the DDA’s online portal must have a public grievance redress mechanism to ensure minimal human interface.
“Geo referencing of vacant plots should be done in coordination with the Geological Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Centre. Two months time [has been] given to the Land Management Wing of the DDA to compile year-wise data of encroachment of DDA land along with action plan for removal of encroachment,” said an official statement.
The agency was also asked to identify pockets of plots and areas where layout plans have still not been made so that they could be notified as ‘Green’ to prevent further encroachment.
