Delhi Group to Protest for Land Pooling Policy Implementation

The Delhi Dehat Vikas Munch (DDVM) has announced plans for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the immediate implementation of the long-pending Land Pooling Policy (LPP) and Green Development Area (GDA) Policy. In a statement, it was reported that Bhupender Bazad, president of the Delhi Master Plan Committee, urged the government to notify the Master Plan Delhi 2041 and take decisive steps to implement the revised LPP and GDA policies. He emphasized the importance of these measures in addressing farmers' challenges and promoting Delhi's urban development.

Bazad further stressed the need for a clear roadmap with specific deadlines to safeguard the livelihoods of millions and support Delhi's future growth. Several political leaders, including BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, and Yogender Chandoliya, have extended their support for the farmers' demands.

Additionally, the DDVM has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court, with a hearing set for December 20.

The DDVM's key demands include the immediate notification of the Master Plan Delhi 2041, which was submitted by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to the central government in April 2023, but has yet to be approved after more than 15 months. The group is also calling for the notification of approved amendments to the LPP to address critical issues, such as achieving a minimum of 70 per cent developable area in a sector, resolving contiguity problems, and simplifying the process of forming consortiums. Furthermore, they have called for amendments to the DDA Act, 1957, to address structural issues that have hindered the effective implementation of urban development policies.

The DDVM emphasised that these policies are crucial for transforming the city's landscape, addressing the challenges faced by over ten million residents living in unauthorized colonies, and providing basic services to more than 50 lakh people lacking proper sewer connections.

Farmers have highlighted that land prices in Delhi remain disproportionately low, at Rs 20 million per acre, compared to Rs 600-800 million per acre in Gurgaon, just two kilometres away. To strengthen their campaign, the DDVM has vowed to mobilize supporters by visiting households and publicly endorsing candidates who support their cause.
