Delhi land pooling portal to begin in January

A single-window portal where land owners will be able to apply for developing land parcels under the land pooling policy of Delhi Development Authority is likely to become operational this month. The portal for implementation of the policy promises to complete all processes, including receiving applications, verifications, grant of approvals and licenses, etc, in a time bound manner. DDA vice-chairman Tarun Kapoor said that the portal is going to ready very soon. Sources in the authority said that it is likely to become operational by the end of January. The land pooling policy was notified last year by the Union housing and urban affairs ministry and will be applicable in the ‘urbanisable’ areas of urban extensions in 95 villages in the capital.
