The Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath, on Friday announced that the government is mulling on the regularisation of all religious structures in Delhi. The religious structures such as temples, mosques, gurdwaras and other places of worship that have been built prior to 2007 and are either on land which is unauthorised or partly unauthorised will be given legal sanction.
When asked will this not encourage encroachment, the minister snapped, “How do you demolish a temple? The minister describe the move as “practical solution rather than a people-centric one”
It must be noted that the Urban Development Ministry had approved the regularisation of 917 colonies out of the 1,600 plus unauthorised colonies on Monday.
