Digital mapping of unauthorised colonies by December 31

New Delhi: Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said in Lok Sabha that the process of digital mapping of 1,931 unauthorised colonies of Delhi will be completed by December 31 this year.

Moving the bill to grant ownership rights to residents of Delhi's unauthorised colonies for consideration, Puri said the process to map these colonies digitally should have started in 2008.
