Receiving thousands of people from unauthorised colonies across the national capital, Dikshit also said her government would take all necessary steps to regularise unauthorised colonies that have come up on Forest and Archaeological Survey of India land.
"I am very happy that so many of you have come here. For the past four years, we have been fighting for making the promise that we made to people true. We fought in the court and made our case before the Union Government," she said, addressing people at her Motilal Nehru Marg residence here.
The notification for regularisation of the 917 colonies would be issued either today or tomorrow, she said, adding that all necessary details about the process to regularise would be out in the next couple of days in the form of advertisement in newspapers.
"The advertisements will tell you where to get the forms to claim ownership for the land. It will also guide you on whom to approach and where to go for registration. Urban Development Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely will help all of you people," she said.
Noting that the unauthorised colonies were provided with water and sewage facilities, Dikshit said these facilities will be further improved once the regularisation is done.
"Very soon, we will try to regularise colonies that have come up on green belt, forest area and ASI land. We will not let even one single house to be demolished in Delhi," she said.
Dikshit also promised that their government was in talks with Centre for ownership rights to 45 resettlement colonies in the capital.
The people, accompanied by their elected representatives, thanked Dikshit for the announcement. (More)
