Transparency in the implementation of Land Pooling Policy had always been one of the underlying concerns around it.  To ensure the same, and for speedy execution of its ambitious land pooling policy, the DDA will now take the entire process online.

This will also mean minimum human intervention in its execution. Per a senior DDA official, a high-powered committee will be constituted to handle any disputes. He said the move is one of the several initiatives to make the policy simpler and viable to meet the growing demand for housing in the capital. The regulations will be formulated in association with National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA).

The UD minister earlier announced that the DDA will now just act as a facilitator and not the executioner of the Land Pooling policy, as was envisaged earlier. To shorten the process and to pave the way for a speedy implementation of an already delayed policy, the earlier process wherein DDA was to transfer land from the Developer entities to itself and then return the developed land back to the developer entities, will cease to exist.

DDA has been asked to prepare rules within a month to simplify the procedure.

UD minister, Hardeep Singh Puri and LG Anil Baijal had approved the changes in a meeting at Nirman Bhawan on 12th of this month.
