Delhi Residents Apply for Ownership Rights in Unauthorised Colonies; House Regularisation Pending

Following the launch of the SWAGAM portal for regularising 1,511 unauthorised colonies in Delhi, 15 residents have applied for ownership rights under the Pradhan Mantri Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana (PM-UDAY), but no applications for house regularisation have been received yet. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is conducting awareness campaigns, including announcements via garbage collection vehicles and planned camps, to encourage applications. Help desks and over 700 architects have been engaged to assist residents with documentation and plan certification, aiming to process thousands of applications in the coming months.
