As you would be aware, after getting consent from over 70% landowners with the expression of willingness to participate under Land Pooling, our sector was notified to form a consortium and get consent from atleast 70% of the landowners for the consortium while ensuring contiguity. We were able to convince a good number of landowners to give consent to our registered consortium but we fall short of achieving 70% mark. We had been trying to get the remaining landowners onboard, and even though majority of these remaining landowners are in agreement with us, but till date they have been reluctant in giving anything in writing.

Also, after the new govt formation in Delhi, we had been trying to meet with the MPs and ministers in Delhi Govt to help us expedite the process. We were assured that the work on the policy is progressing at DDA’s side and we should soon be able to see its ground effect, but we were not able to get their attention towards our concerns/suggestions.

In a previous landowners meeting, held a few months back, we informed all that if the remaining landowners fail to give their consent, then as a last resort, we will propose DDA to further divide our sector. We have now begun discussions with DDA’s Land Pooling (Planning) officials to subdivide sector 7a, further. We are close to 70% participation in the proposed sector 7a-1. We have in principle agreed to acquire the remaining land in accordance with the policy to achieve contiguity. In our meeting on 25th of September, with DDA’s add commissioner, DDA has requested us to submit a detailed written proposal for the same.

As of now, DDA is prioritizing implementation of the policy in another sector (Sec 8b) of P-II Zone. There is a belief that once the policy is implemented in any one sector, it will be easier to convince the landowners of remaining sectors to become part of the policy. They are in advanced stages of implementation in that sector. DDA is hoping to grant approval to that sector in next 2-4 weeks. They have suggested us to wait till then with our proposal to sub-divide the sector.

We have drafted the proposal with all technical details while complying with DDA’s SOP on sector division. As per DDA officials suggestion, we will wait for next few days to check on the progress of the sector DDA is working upon (Sec 8b) and will thereafter submit it for their consideration and approval.
