The National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second Act, 2011
This Act regulates unauthorized building constructions and land encroachments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, excluding the Delhi Cantonment. It applies to local municipal authorities, slum dwellers, and property owners within unauthorized colonies, rural areas, and farmhouses. By enforcing a temporary block on demolitions, sealing of premises, and displacement, the law protects residents and business owners from punitive evictions. This is vital because it prevents immediate homelessness and disruption, giving the central government until December 31, 2026, to implement orderly policies for Delhi's sustainable development, rehabilitation of slum dwellers, and formal legalization of existing properties.
