Delhi LG VK Saxena on Tuesday announced that ownership rights of agricultural land in urbanised villages of the national capital will be recorded on the basis of inheritance, Raj Niwas officials said.

Saxena, who has been frequently visiting villages in Delhi, was presented with this demand and related grievances in every single village that he visited. Apart from this, several civic society organisations have demanded the same, the officials said.

In the Samvaad organised at Raj Niwas with residents of villages in Delhi, the primary demand that emerged was on mutation and a delegation of all seven MPs from Delhi had met the LG and presented a representation on the same, they said.

The LG also laid the foundation stone for 41 new projects and inaugurated seven projects spread across 18 villages of northwest Delhi under the Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan (DGA).
