Delhi urban development minister Raj Kumar Chouhan on Thursday said in the House that property owners in unauthorised colonies can take permission from the area SDM for carrying out repair in their buildings.
The minister’s response came amid allegations that the police has been harassing owners in unauthorised colonies for carrying out repair work.
BSP MLA Ram Singh Netaji told the minister during Question Hour that people in unauthorised colonies have been facing harassment at the hands of the police.
“The government has set up a special task force under the chairmanship of the area SDM for unauthorised colonies. Owners need to submit an application to the SDM informing about the nature of repair work. The SDM will give approval after which the people will not face any harassment,” said Mr Chouhan.

March 24: The sacred books, Gita and Quran, are complementary to each other and several principles laid down in them are surprising similar, said Sansk-rit scholar Dr Mohammed Hanif Khan Shastri.
Delivering a talk on “Gita, Quran and Civilisational Harmony” for the Global Foundation for Civilisational Harmony (GFCH-INDIA) here, Dr Khan, who teaches at Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, a deemed university, said that while Gita held key to the entire Indian philosophy and ancient religious discourse, the sacred book could be hailed as a source for all the existing religions in the world.
