Union Urban Development Ministry had given its approval for granting freehold rights to the residents of the resettlement colonies.

Last year Congress president Sonia Gandhi had issued provisional certificates of regularisation to unauthorised colonies.

Rahul Gandhi to address Congress rally in Delhi on Sep 10

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will hand over ownership rights of houses to people in resettlement colonies in Delhi on September 10.  This was informed by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday.

"We have so many resettlement colonies and people have been living in them since the time of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. But they have not been given ownership rights. Rahul Gandhi will give out certificates of ownership to lakhs of people on September 10," Dikshit said.

There are 45 resettlement colonies in the city, which are home to lakhs of people. Congress feels that the move could be a game-changer in the Assembly polls. Dikshit made the announcement at a function where the party released a brochure listing the Congress government's achievements in the last 15 years.

Last year, Dikshit had Congress president Sonia Gandhi issue provisional certificates of regularisation to unauthorised colonies. The CM also promised to regularise another 600 unauthorised colonies and said residents in Lal Dora areas would be allowed to expand their properties. "People have been living there for years and their families must have grown, so they need more space.
That is why we are allowing the extension... We are the first one to implement the Food Security Bill and it is Delhi that is governed by Aadhaar cards," she said.
