The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced that all the 10 PM-UDAY processing centres will operate seven days a week to expedite the processing of the ownership rights applications for residents of 1,731 unauthorised colonies in Delhi. This decision follows directions from LG VK Saxena after receiving multiple requests from residents. The PM-UDAY Scheme aims to provide legal recognition and ownership rights to these residents. By extending operations to weekends, the DDA seeks to enhance accessibility for residents, particularly those unable to visit during weekdays, and to speed up the processing and issuance of authorisation slips and conveyance deeds.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced that all 10 processing centres under the PM-UDAY (Pradhan Mantri-Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana) Scheme will now operate seven days a week. This decision, effective from Tuesday, comes under the directive of Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena, aimed at expediting the processing of applications from residents of unauthorised colonies. The move follows several requests from residents of these colonies who have faced challenges in accessing services during regular weekday hours.
The PM-UDAY Scheme, a key initiative for unauthorised colonies in Delhi, seeks to grant ownership rights to residents of 1,731 such colonies. The primary goal of the scheme is to provide legal recognition to residents' properties, effectively conferring ownership rights and improving security for property owners. By offering legal status, the scheme helps residents formalise their property ownership, allowing them to obtain conveyance deeds and authorisation slips, which are necessary for legal transactions involving their properties.
The decision to extend the working days of the PM-UDAY centres is intended to speed up the processing of applications. According to the DDA, keeping these centres operational throughout the week will enable faster handling of the backlog of cases and ensure more timely issuance of ownership documents. This is a particularly significant development for residents of PM-UDAY colonies, many of whom struggle to submit their documents or follow up on their applications during the regular workweek. The extended hours will provide these residents with increased flexibility and accessibility.
This initiative is also expected to enhance the overall efficiency of the PM-UDAY centres. By operating on weekends, the centres will increase their capacity to process applications, clear pending cases, and facilitate the issuance of critical documents like conveyance deeds and authorisation slips. The DDA believes this will not only speed up the processing time but also improve the overall effectiveness of the scheme by making it more accessible to residents.
The LG's office received numerous representations from residents requesting that the centres remain open during weekends to help manage the workload and allow residents who have weekday commitments to avail themselves of these services. With this extended operation, the DDA aims to ensure that all residents of the 1,731 unauthorised colonies under the scheme will be better served and able to secure their ownership rights more quickly.
This measure is a part of the broader effort to provide legal recognition and stability to property owners in these unauthorised colonies, ultimately benefiting thousands of residents by providing them with enhanced property rights and security. The DDA expects this step to improve service delivery and speed up the processing of applications, ensuring more residents receive ownership rights under the PM-UDAY Scheme.
