Mayor unveils plans for Delhi's face-lift

Delhi Mayor Arti Mehra has revealed a 15-point reform plan for curbing haphazard growth of unauthorised colonies so that the city can present its best face to the world during the Commonwealth Games 2010.

In a letter to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, Mehra suggested a slew of measures to prevent unauthorised construction and haphazard growth of unauthorised colonies.

She recommended categorising all unauthorised colonies and prioritising them as per their financial status and plan the re-development accordingly. The colonies which are beyond minimum livable conditions like those alongside nallahs or river banks, should be relocated and not regularised, she said, according to a press statement by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
