De-sealing operation begins in Delhi

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Despite mounting pressure by the Supreme Court-appointed Monitoring Committee, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi initiated de-sealing operations in the Capital on Wednesday, starting with a property in South Delhi.

Addressing an MCD meeting, Municipal Commissioner Ashok Kumar Nigam said the de-sealing process had been started because the civic body was bound to carry out the directives of the Central Government over the issue.

This was also done in compliance with the recent Union Urban Development Ministry notification directing the local bodies concerned to de-seal premises protected under the 2007 Act. Accordingly, zonal Deputy Commissioners were asked on Wednesday to start de-sealing properties protected under the Act and covered by the recent notification.

The following properties fall in the ambit of the Act and the notification: slum dwellers and jhuggi-jhompri clusters; hawkers and urban street vendors; unauthorised colonies; village “abadi” areas and their extensions; existing farm houses; schools, dispensaries, religious and cultural institutions, storages, warehouses and godowns built on agricultural land.
