Discussion with L-G on the need to redefine household industries

NEW DELHI: A PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry delegation called on Delhi’s Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna recently to discuss the need to redefine household industries, use of residential premises by professionals and enforcement of Apartment Ownership Act in the Capital.

Led by PHDCCI president Sanjay Bhatia and comprising senior members, the delegation pointed out to the Lieutenant-Governor several policy issues relating to the Master Plan for Delhi-2021 that need to be addressed, particularly the work on zonal plans. The Chamber representatives underlined the need for co-ordination among different Government agencies involved in the organisation of the Commonwealth Games-2010 such as the Delhi Government, the Delhi Development Authority and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

Mr. Khanna informed the delegation that a committee had been constituted under his chairmanship to monitor the progress of work on a monthly basis. PHDCCI representative would also be invited to the committee.

During the discussions, Mr. Bhatia pointed out the need for re-assessing the role of DDA and confine it to an infrastructure provider from the present primary responsibility as a house provider. He also dwelt on the need for scientific handing of waste management, application of Information Technology to improve traffic management, introduction of feeder services to enhance efficiency of Metro rail services and to develop Delhi city as a ``knowledge and cultural centre”.

The Lieutenant-Governor informed them that the Delhi Assembly proposes to bring up a Bill on Enforcement of Apartment Ownership Act. Mr. Khanna also emphasised the need for setting up of the Delhi Real Estate Commission to take up digitisation of land records. He also sought active participation of the Chamber in tourism promotion and maintenance of historic monuments.
