7 lakh families live in thousands of illegal colonies

Unauthorized colonies have existed in Delhi since the establishment of the Delhi Development Authority in 1957. These settlements were built without official approval, due to the DDA being unable to construct sufficient low-cost buildings and the influx of migrants from neighboring states.

At present, there are about 1071 unauthorized colonies in the capital Delhi, all of which have been developed without following building and civic rules and in violation of the master plan. It is estimated that about seven lakh families live in these unauthorized colonies.
