THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, DELHI

Hon’ble Lt. Governor of Delhi, Sh. Anil Baijal chaired Delhi Development Authority meeting at Raj Niwas that was convened today to consider the public suggestions/comments which were sought to comply with the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of WP (C ) No. 4677/1985 M.C.Mehta vs Union of India & Ors. on the issue of proposed MPD-2021 amendments in Development Control Norms of Shop-Cum-Residential Plots and in norms for redevelopment of godowns clusters existing in non-conforming areas. This was an important meeting in the interest of people and development of Delhi, and was convened after following due procedure prescribed for such amendments in MPD-2021.

However, after the meeting ended, two Hon’ble MLAs Sh. Somnath Bharti and Sh. S.K. Bagga, who came to attend the meeting, refused to leave the residential premises of Hon’ble Lt. Governor on the pretext of joining the ‘dharna’ of Hon’ble CM. Hon’ble MLAs were repeatedly requested to end their unauthorized occupation of the residential premises of Hon’ble Lt. Governor. However, they refused to leave and continued their unauthorized occupation for about two hours and left only after considerable persuasion.
