The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will be conducting the public hearing on the Land Pooling Policy on July 2 and 3, per a statement made by DDA on Wednesday. This will comprise of Individual hearing of the persons who have filed their objections, suggestions/views, before the Board of Enquiry and Hearing.

Below is the chain of events:

Jan, 18: For the implementation of land pooling policy, public notices were published in newspapers for inviting objections, suggestions and observations or views within a period of 45 days from the general public.

Dec 17: Changes in Land Pooling Policy for the simplification of the process were accepted, in a meeting chaired by LG Anil Baijal on 21st of Dec, 2017. This effectively meant the transfer of pooled land to the DDA will not be required. Originally, the land pooled under the policy was to be transferred to the DDA, which would act as the developer entity and undertake further sectoral planning and development of infrastructure on the land pooled.

May 17: In May and June 2017, certain issues pending with the Delhi government, such as, notification of 89 villages under the DMC Act, 1957, and declaration of 95 villages as development area of the DDA under Section 12 of Delhi Development Act, 1957, were resolved.

We would like to update all that our Society’s President, Mr. Dipender Jain, met with an accident in Feb of this year and had been bed-ridden since then.

Because of this unfortunate incident, we had not been able to get any updates from DDA/Govt’s side on any further development on Land pooling. For the same reason, you did not receive any updates from us since last few months.

We are expecting the President to recover in a month’s time and also to take hold of the operational work.
