“The DDA’s online portal must have a public grievance redressal mechanism, so that there is minimal human interface. Geo referencing of vacant plots should be done, in coordination with the GSI (Geological Survey of India) and NRSA (National Remote Sensing Centre). Two months’ time has been given to the Land Management Wing of the DDA, to compile year-wise data of encroachment of DDA land, along with an action plan for removal of encroachments,” said a Raj Niwas statement, laying out the direction issued.

The agency was also asked to identify pockets of plots and areas, where layout plans have still not been made so that they could be notified as ‘green’ to prevent further encroachment.
