Resgistration process for giving ownership will be completed in few weeks : Union Min Puri

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said here on Monday that registration process for giving the ownership rights to people living in unauthorised colonies of Delhi will be completed in few weeks.

He was speaking at an event here at Talkatora stadium on Monday.

"Delhi Government wanted time till 2021 for mapping of these colonies, we did it in three weeks. We will complete registration process in few weeks and people will get their ownership rights," said Puri.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Sunday said that under Prime Minister Uday Yojna, the residents of unauthorized colonies are being given authorised ownership of their properties.

In a tweet, the DDA said, "For years the residents of unauthorised colonies did not have property rights. It was difficult to buy or sell properties in these unauthorised colonies. It was also impossible to take loans from banks. Under PM UDAY Yojna, the residents of the unauthorised colonies are being given property rights over their properties in these colonies."

"Under this scheme, all residents of unauthorised colonies will get authorised ownership of their house or flat," the DDA said in another tweet.
