The Parliament on Tuesday passed a Bill to extend by three years the protection given to unauthorised constructions in slums, farm houses and other colonies in the national capital from facing any official action.
The National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second (Amendment) Act, 2023, extends the protection given to unauthorised buildings for a period of three years from January 1, 2024 till December 31, 2026.
The Bill was passed by a voice vote in the Lok Sabha after a brief discussion in which only three members participated, including one from the Opposition. This was the first Bill to be taken up after the suspension of 49 Opposition MPs from the Lower House earlier in the day.
