Centre set to push amendments to DDA, to give fillip to land pooling policy
The Centre is all set to push amendments to the Delhi Development Act, 1957, to give a fillip to the
Land Pooling Policy
and involve private developers in vertical development in 129 sectors spread across 104 urbanised villages of the capital.
With the BJP government taking charge of Delhi, the Centre has decided to bring focus back to the long-pending Land Pooling Policy which, though notified in 2013 and 2018, has not been operationalised. The Centre is planning to push amendments to the Delhi Development Act which will make land pooling mandatory for all residents if a certain percentage -- 70% -- of owners of land in an area agree to pool land. The amendments also give power to the Centre to declare mandatory land pooling and mandatory
urban regeneration
even if a minimum threshold participation of 70% has not been achieved. The amendments were first proposed in 2022 and were put out for public consultation. However, they have been pending with the ministry of housing and urban affairs. According to sources, the amendments are likely to be pushed once again to operationalise the policy and build residential high-rises and
housing for economically weaker sections
in these areas.

The LPP envisages high-rise residential buildings in so-far underdeveloped and chaotic areas of Outer Delhi like Narela, Bawana and Najafgarh. Earlier, DDA used to acquire land, build flats, provide community infrastructure like parks and then float housing schemes to dispose of these flats. However, this DDA-led colony development has become outdated and being challenged due to complicated land acquisition processes.
In 2018, DDA came up with a LPP which gave the opportunity to the landowners of a notified sector to organise themselves into a "consortium", pool their land and keep 60% for development of residential high rises and other facilities and hand over 40% to DDA for community infrastructure like roads and sewer networks. As per the policy, 70% of the landowners of contiguous land in a sector have to give consent for their land to be pooled.

The response to the scheme has been tepid as not a single sector has been developed. The biggest challenge in implementation remains the consent of landowners. This is why the Centre is now keen on bringing the amendments to make it mandatory for landowners to participate in the scheme. The Centre is also likely to increase the floor area ratio allowed from 200 to 400. This will make it more lucrative for private builders to come and participate in vertical development of the city.
The policy is included in
Master Plan for Delhi 2041
, which has not been notified pending approval of the Centre.

Shah inaugurates new CFSL building in Kolkata, stresses on modernisation of forensic infrastructure
Kolkata, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday lauded the role of forensic science in cracking cases and said that the Centre has plans to spend ₹2,800 crore for the modernisation of forensic infrastructure in the country. Shah said the Centre would spend ₹1,300 crore to set up nine more campuses of NSFU and another ₹860 crore to establish seven more CFSLs in Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Kerala and Bihar. The Home minister, who inaugurated a new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in Rajarhat on the outskirts of Kolkata, said that the modernisation of the forensic infrastructure would help the country to establish a foolproof, evidence-based criminal justice system. "We are planning to bring about a ₹2,080 crore project for more modernisation of forensic science facilities, and another ₹200 crore to set up a national forensic data centre where we will be able to store a huge pool of data, and that could be analysed through AI ... This will make the process of entering into a foolproof, evidence-based criminal justice system much smoother," he said. Shah, who was speaking at the inauguration programme of the CFSL said it will help in taking a holistic approach towards the investigation of complex cases in eastern and northeastern states. He said the inauguration marks a significant milestone in the Centre's long-standing efforts to build a secure, transparent and evidence-driven criminal justice system. The Home minister also noted the impact of recent criminal law reforms and said that after the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , "In 60 per cent of cases, we have witnessed chargesheets being filed within 60 days." "I would like to speak about BNS, BNSS and BSA. These are brought to protect the constitutional rights of the common people of the country, putting an end to the 160-year-old British law. This is revolutionary and I am sure that innocent people will not be framed and the victim will get quick justice," he said. Shah further stated that in special cases trial was starting within 90 days. "We have also ensured trial in absentia for those who escaped abroad and were operating crime from there. We will conduct their trial even in their absence and punish them. We will then bring them back to the country using our international understanding," Shah said. He said that the Home Ministry will be working on the training and its application in investigations. "From January 2026, we will start taking forensic science to every police station, public prosecutor, and court to make them aware of the importance of forensic science," he said. He said that the Centre is building a CFSL network in the country through the cluster approach so that complicated cases are solved and the entire criminal justice system is changed. "Those who are victims, through the phone all kinds of information and are assured that they do not need to go to the police stations we have arranged for that," he said. "I am proud to say that 17,184 police stations are connected to CCTNS, are online and their data is being generated collectively. The Home ministry monitoring them online. This shows how big a change we have brought in such a short time," he said. The Home Minister said that every state has been offered to have one forensic mobile van. He said the central government is planning to set up seven more CFSL laboratories in Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Kerala and Bihar. The CSFL West Bengal, would help in cracking cases from Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Sikkim, Assam and all the states in the northeastern region would benefit, he said. "It gives me immense pleasure to see the Indian government with a vision for several years. It is a moment of immense satisfaction as we continue to strengthen each link in the chain of modern forensic and investigative infrastructure," Shah said. "This will significantly contribute to strengthening the criminal justice system in West Bengal and the Northeast," Shah said."It is a moment of immense satisfaction as we continue to strengthen each link in the chain of modern forensic and investigative infrastructure," he said.
