Govt to amend Public Premises Act

Amendment to ensure quick eviction of unauthorised occupants

PTI | July 8, 2010

Government is bringing amendments to a legislation to enable quick eviction of unauthorised occupants from Delhi Metro and New Delhi Municipal Corporation properties.

The Union Cabinet approved amendments to Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act 1971 to bring properties of Delhi Metro and NDMC within the definition of public premises.

"This will enable eviction of unauthorised occupants of the properties without delay," Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said.

She said the amendment with regard to NDMC is only a matter of "abundant caution" to remove any doubt since the properties of New Delhi Municipal Committee were already included in the existing definition of public properties.
