Speaking in the Press Conference, Aam Aadmi Party President and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal added that registries of around 1,797 unauthorized colonies will soon begin after Centre’s nod.

He further added his government has allocated Rs. 1,500 crore in the budget for the development of these unauthorized colonies.

It should be noted that the Delhi ruling party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), days after facing a humiliating victory in the national polls, has intensified its mission ‘Delhi’. AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal has clearly directed all the MLAs to reach out to their constituencies and ensure to complete every pending work on time.
Earlier, AAP Chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his plans to provide free rides to women in Delhi Metro and DTC Buses in Delhi.
However, the announcement has been criticized by experts who termed the move will make the Delhi Metro economically weak.
