‘Will affect skyline’: HC tells DDA to cease construction near Lotus, Kalkaji temples

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to cease construction on land adjoining the Lotus Temple and Kalkaji Mandir, observing that it is likely to affect skyline in the area.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh, who was handling a number of pleas against the redevelopment of the Kalkaji temple, perused several photos and stated that large-scale construction is being carried out on the land.
Even though the DDA argued that the work was only temporary, the court said that any development of this kind would impair the vista of the Lotus Temple.

It also said that the land in question is adjoining the Kalkaji Mandir, the redevelopment of which is being considered.
The court was informed that new construction and excavation are taking place in the land adjoining the Kalkaji Mandir and the Lotus Temple.
It was claimed that a third party to whom DDA leased the land is responsible for the construction activity.
Although the DDA has maintained that the area surrounding the Kalkaji Mandir is a green space from its beginning, Justice Singh stated that suddenly the site “seems to have been demarcated by DDA on its own and large-scale construction is being undertaken”.
“Accordingly, subject to further examination, and to ensure that the redevelopment of the Kalkaji Mandir is not adversely affected, it is directed that the DDA or the contractor/licensee on its behalf shall cease construction on this land,” the court ordered.

It directed the DDA to file an affidavit detailing when the land was last utilised for social and religious events and whether the DDA was maintaining it as a green space, within two weeks.
Accordingly, Justice Singh posted the matter for hearing next on May 25.

Delhi: BJP, VHP protest after temple demolished as part of DDA anti-encroachment drive

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) demolished a temple in the Rajender Nagar area on Thursday as part of its anti-encroachment drive, triggering a protest by the BJP and the Vishva Hindu Parishad.
An official of the DDA said, “For demolition of religious structures, the nod of the religious committee (formed by the government) is required. We sought the committee’s approval and following its go-ahead, the demolition was carried out.”
A senior police officer said that adequate security arrangements were made for the demolition exercise in the Rajender Nagar area of central Delhi.
“The demolition drive was carried out Thursday morning. Forty per cent of the structure was demolished and the process was conducted peacefully,” the police officer said.
Several BJP and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leaders and workers staged a sit-in at the temple in protest against the demolition exercise.
Former Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal government was targeting temples in the city.
“We are protesting the action by DDA and I appeal to people to gather here and oppose the effort to demolish the temple,” Gupta said.

HC asks DDA, DUSIB to file affidavits in Mehrauli demolition drive case

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) to file affidavits by February 21 in a plea filed by the Goshiya Colony Sewa Samiti and others residing in Mehrauli.
Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora dealing with a plea filed through advocate Anupradha Singh also directed the petitioner to file its rejoinder within three days after DDA and DUSIB file their affidavits.
The court listed the matter for next hearing on February 28.
The plea challenges the December 12, 2022 demolition notice, wherein DDA purports to carry out a demolition drive in the entire Goshiya Colony, which is in existence for more than five decades and consists of over 600 houses, with approximately 4,000 population.
The plea stated, citing the ‘Ajay Maken and others vs Union of India’ case that a demolition drive cannot be carried out without following the protocol for removal of jhuggis as per the order of Delhi High Court.
The plea stated that before beginning any demolition drive, the land-owning agency must send a request to DUSIB, which will determine if the jhuggis qualifies for rehabilitation in accordance with the cut-off.
The petition claimed that the land-owning agency cannot begin the demolition process until DUSIB determines that the jhuggis are not eligible for rehabilitation.

After DDA demolition drive stops, AAP seeks compensation for victims from L-G

[ad_1]
Delhi: After the much disputed DDA demolition drive in Mehrauli was stopped on Lt Governor VK Saxena’s direction, the Aam Aadmi party on Wednesday sought compensation from him for the victims of the area.
In a letter to the L-G, AAP MLA Somnath Bharti said, “Direct the concerned to assess the damages already caused to many houses by the said demolition and do the needful, including appropriate compensation and to get them reinstated at the locations from where they have been uprooted without any further delay”.
The AAP leader further said that till the time it takes place, please direct the concerned to put some makeshift arrangements like tents etc.
Bharti also sought the investigation into the issues, calling it “serious breach of transaction of business rules, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Act, Constitution of India and various judgments of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India” and has urged to punish the officials guilty of this severe dereliction.
“When it became apparent after making enquiries with District Magistrate (South) Office that the demarcation which became the basis of demolition, in Mehrauli, by DDA was neither in the knowledge of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal nor Revenue Minister Kailash Gehlot ji, then why the press release released from your office attributed the flawed demarcation to the Aam Aadmi Party Government? the letter reads further.
Such an attempt was surely political from the L-G office with the sole intent to malign the clean image of Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party government, he said.
“On 14.02.2023, the reason issued by your esteemed office for stopping the massive and inhuman demolition exercise being carried out by DDA in Mehrauli was the same which we have been agitating since day one under the leadership of Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal i.e. the flawed demarcation report.
“Had you agreed on this most important flaw brought out to you/your officers’ notice by us on day one of the demolition exercise which rendered many people, including old people, women and children homeless then such a massive tragedy would have been avoided”, the AAP MLA stated in the letter.

The letter reads, “Since in the urbanised villages applicability of Delhi Land Reforms Act ceases and hence the demarcation work should be carried out directly by DDA following the due process, which requires the demarcating agency to invite objections from the people who at present are residing on the land being demarcated and ensure their full participation before finalizing the demarcation report or if you still wish to go ahead with the Revenue Office of Delhi government then it is urged that offices of Chief Minister and Revenue Minister must not be bypassed”.
