Madhya Pradesh to Regularize Unauthorized Colonies

25 May 2023 CW Team

According to the chief minister, the government will also ensure all infrastructure, energy, and water preparations. “The state government will also provide necessary funds for development in these colonies. All arrangements related to infrastructure will be made. Along with water and electricity, other arrangements will be made. The aim of the government is to make life easier for the people," CM Chouhan said.

People living in these colonies will not be asked to pay any development fees, and the dwellings will be regularized in their current state, according to Chouhan.

He further noted that after regularization, residents of these colonies will be eligible for bank loans, and allocations from the MP/MLA local area development funds will be made available to them.

Chouhan advised residents to join resident welfare associations to ensure the appropriate development of their communities, emphasizing the need for cleanliness in particular. "Illegal colonies means, "Have we become criminals? Today, we have come to remove the stigma of illegality that was attached to the name of these colonies.

Why is it illegal? "If we bought something with wrong earnings and we have made the home with hard work, then why is it being called illegal?" CM said.

He added, "It is a matter of thinking, On the one hand, we are running the Chief Minister Land Residential Rights Scheme in the village and giving a piece of land free of cost to those who do not have a place to live. Even in the cities, we are making people landowners who have been in possession of the land for many years. While on the other hand, those who have built their houses by investing their life's earnings, we are calling them illegal?" The legalization decision came only days after the Chouhan-led BJP government announced free plane travel for senior citizens on pilgrimages.

Ahead of the important Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh later this year, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that all unauthorized colonies built in the state until December 31, 2022, will be legalized. According to the chief minister, the government will also ensure all infrastructure, energy, and water preparations. “The state government will also provide necessary funds for development in these colonies. All arrangements related to infrastructure will be made. Along with water and electricity, other arrangements will be made.
