The Union government announced a new policy to regularise all unauthorized colonies in Delhi on an 'as is, where is' basis. Under the scheme, residents will be able to obtain legal status for their homes without the need to relocate or demolish structures. The decision aims to provide clarity and security to millions living in informal settlements across the capital. The government will set up a process for residents to apply for documentation and will outline the timeline for completion of the regularisation.
