Why it matters
This policy represents a significant shift toward zero-tolerance urban governance in Delhi, aiming to protect public land through rapid enforcement.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Sunday said it has framed a standard operating procedure (SOP) for flying squad teams and quick response teams (QRTs) to secure DDA and government land and prevent unauthorised constructions and encroachments. The SOP mandates demolition, wherever required, within 72 hours of detection.
