"If required, the amount will be suitably enhanced for development work in unauthorised colonies. It will no suffer due to lack of funds or want of funds," Delhi Chief Minister Dikshit said in her budget speech in the Assembly.
The government has invested Rs 2,597 crore till March 2012 for providing civic services in these colonies and proposed to spend another Rs 631 crore in the current financial year.
The Delhi government had issued provisional regularisation certificates (PRCs) to over 1,200 unauthorised colonies ahead of assembly polls in 2008.
The then Dikshit government, while distributing the certificates, had promised to regularise the colonies if Congress came to power for third term.
Work of laying sewerage systems in villages and unauthorised colonies is in progress, Dikshit said, adding, with the covering of more villages and unauthorised colonies by sewerage system, the discharge of untreated waste water in the Yamuna will be checked.
The first allotment of 500 EWS houses, constructed under JNNURM would commence soon, Dikshit said.
To provide basic civic amenities in urbanised villages and rural villages, Rs 53 crore and Rs 192 crore would be set aside respectively.
Confirmed ownership rights would be granted to the original allottees of JJ Resettlement colonies, Dikshit said.
