Delhi Development Authority warns against circulation of false notices

Delhi Development Authority alerts citizens about fake demolition notices circulating in slum clusters, calling them politically motivated misinformation causing public panic.

"mischievous elements, driven by vested political interests, are circulating false notices - Delhi Development Authority"

New Delhi, November 7

It has been brought to the notice of Delhi Development Authority (DDA), through public representatives and reports in social and mainstream media, that certain patently false, baseless and obviously politically motivated "notices" of demolitions are being pasted in slum clusters, said the release.

The Authority cautions the general public against false and misleading news being circulated in its name regarding supposed demolitions to be carried out in various parts of Delhi. People are therefore advised not to believe or act upon such unverified information unless the DDA has officially issued it through its authorised channels.

The release stated that it has become conclusively evident that mischievous elements, driven by vested political interests, are circulating false notices, spreading misinformation, and creating unnecessary panic and unrest among the public. They are strongly advised to refrain from such irresponsible acts for petty political gains.

The DDA conducts demolition or removal drives strictly in compliance with the directions of the Courts and only on sites that are not covered under the National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second Act, 2011, as amended from time to time.

Under the chairmanship of Lt. Governor V. K. Saxena, the DDA remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring planned urban development, protecting public land, and promoting inclusive or holistic growth of the National Capital. All actions undertaken by DDA are carried out with complete adherence to the law, guided by transparency, accountability, and with the objective of advancing public welfare.

Good that DDA has clarified this. In today's social media age, fake news spreads like wildfire. People should always verify from official sources before panicking. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the clarification, I hope DDA also ensures that when actual demolitions do happen, they follow proper rehabilitation procedures. Many poor families suffer due to lack of proper planning.

As someone who works with urban poor communities, I've seen how such fake notices create unnecessary trauma. The authorities should take strict action against those spreading misinformation.

Delhi needs planned development, but it should be humane. Fake notices are wrong, but so are sudden demolitions without proper notice. Hope DDA maintains transparency in all its actions.

Political parties should stop using poor people as pawns in their games. This is so irresponsible! Thank you DDA for the timely clarification. 🙏
