New Delhi: Ahead of the Assembly elections in the national capital, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday handed over conveyance deeds and registry papers of houses to 20 residents of unauthorised colonies.

The documents were given to the residents of Raja Vihar and Samaypur Badli at a press conference here.

Speaking to ETV Bharat, Puri said that more than 40 lakh people will get registry of ownership in the coming days.

"We have chalked out an action plan for the proper development of these colonies," he added.

" I have been living in Delhi for the past 22 years, but today I have become the owner of my property," a beneficiary told ETV Bharat.

"The government had helped me in getting my own house in Delhi," said another beneficiary.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi had recently asked residents of unauthorised colonies not to trust the BJP-led Centre unless they get registry papers of their houses in their hands.
