“We will know this is for real, only if people will get their registry done. Otherwise, it would become another poll gimmick ahead of the elections,” he added.

“We had submitted a proposal to the Centre on July 24 on the regularization of unauthorized colonies. The Centre today accepted our proposal. Our government invested 6000 crores to bring changes in these colonies”, CM Kejriwal added further.
In particular, Delhi has about 1,797 unauthorized colonies. The timing of the ‘historic’ decision is significant as the move comes ahead of the assembly elections in the national capital, scheduled for early next year.
Earlier in the day, the Union Cabinet approved a proposal to give ownership to people living in unauthorized colonies in Delhi.
