Works  Department  (CPWD)  are  Annexed.  CPWD  has  informed  that continuous efforts are made to remove these slums for their relocation and  rehabilitation  with  the  help  of  Delhi  Urban  Shelter  Improvement Board  (DUSIB),  a  body  under  the  Government  of  National  Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD).   CPWD has informed that these slums have come up over a long period of time, as the appurtenant land was lying unprotected.

Further, the National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second  (Amendment)  Act,  2014,  provides  protection  from  punitive action till 31 December 2017, inter-alia, with respect to (i) Encroachment or unauthorized development as on 1 st  January 2006; and (ii) Unauthorized colonies, village abadi area (including urban villages) and  their  extensions,  which  existed  on  31 st   March,  2002  and  where construction took place even beyond that date and upto 1 st   June, 2014.
