MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT( SHRI GHULAM NABI AZAD )
(a)to(d): Hon`ble Delhi High Court in CWP No. 689/2004 titled
COURT ON ITS OWN MOTION versus Union of India & Others has
directed on 27.7.2005 that those portions of the river-bed of
Yamuna which are now flooded will not be permitted to be
occupied/reoccupied by any one.
The rehabilitation of slum dwellers in Delhi is governed
under the relocation policy which provides for allotment of
plots to eligible slum dwellers without any discrimination in
regard to the place of encroachment.
The matter is sub-judice.
