'High-level meeting on MCD demolition drive soon'
The Centre will hold a meeting to find a way out of the crisis triggered by MCD's demolition drive.
NEW DELHI: The Centre will hold a meeting with Delhi Lt Governor BL Joshi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Lok Sabha MPs from the capital to find a way out of the crisis triggered by MCD's demolition drive on the orders of the High Court.
The decision to convene a high-level meeting was taken during deliberations Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy had with a Congress delegation of MPs led by its local unit chief Ram Babu Sharma here on Tuesday.
"I am planning to call a meeting to find a way out of the crisis as the issue is very serious," Reddy said. Chief Minister Dikshit had also met the Union Minister on Sunday to discuss the issue and had urged him to notify the Master Plan Delhi 2021 immediately.
Sources said the high-level meeting, also to be attended by MCD Commissioner, DDA Chief and Delhi Chief Secretary, could take place on Wednesday...
Reddy said he was talking to officials on the issue, which has snowballed into a controversy after opposition BJP in the Delhi Assembly blaming the government for the demolitions.
"Some structures are irregular and there are others which can be regularised... and everybody has to understand that the demolitions are taking place on the orders of the High Court. It is not easy to find a solution," he said.
He said all possible suggestions, including reviewing the Master Plan and demands for implementing the VK Malhotra committee report, will be taken into consideration before arriving at any decision.
