HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2024
- The Modi government’s push towards the redevelopment of government housing colonies in central and south Delhi is set to alter the national capital's skyline in the next few years. Old, decrepit government colonies, with single or three-storey buildings will be replaced by swanky highrises, of 10-14 floors. Prime land parcels being opened for other infrastructure development.

A lot of development is happening in India. I wish our previous governments had started development 20-30 years ago.
They were Oxford educated like Pakistani elite and thus the results....
If they win the next election they put 2000 rs in the Bank account call it nyay
And Take India 20 years back
India requires 2000 projects worth ₹2000 crores each year to develop faster not 2000 rs in Bank accounts

There should be redevelopment of all unauthorized colonies of Delhi not just government land and buildings.
Impossible. Vote bank politics
Do you know the Mumbai slums re-devlopment is done by Adani 😂
Why should Unauthorized colonies be redeveloped?
@@aadil4007Yes, and its good . 😍

We have to spread awareness, Congress should not come back. Congress vision is to only defeat Modi
Sadly a good number of population believes in subsidies and free money without realizing the effect it has on their future. These lot along with religion based voters will support government who will not develop India.
The only party which is taking India back to stone age is BJ party which is spending money in researching fairy tale stories in religion. Thats why South India is much more developed than BIMARU states where BJ party get its majority votes from.
Very few understand the reality, majority want petrol at 50rs,gas cylinder at 400rs,government job ,all assets no liabilities,free house ,free current,subside food and free liquor,and sell vote for 6000 and produce many children and live slavery to party and live in misery😂😂😂

BJP don't care about opposition they do whatever they want to do.
The opposition opposes many bills but the BJP passed it.
So please don't blame the opposition here at least be realistic.
BJP Congress ki chuni v sarkar khareed leti hai aur woh ek bill nahi pass kar payegi 😂😂
The Britishers left still we use the word 'Colony' till today. Why can we use words like settlement, community etc. just a suggestion.
I completely Concur your sentiments. Even British have stopped using such word. Neighborhood will be best word instead of colony.
For more such development Modi govt will have to pass land bill which was not allowed to be passed in 2014-2016 due to lack of numbers in RS plus rahul saying poor people’s land will be taken by govt.
To be fair, eminent domain powers are a genuine concern for landowners, but as long as there is just compensation, I think any government purchases will be done smoothly.
There are so many redevelopment project swiftly approved in Mumbai alone. I am not exaggerating, there are more than 100 redevelopment project already under contruction in Mumbai. Mumbai's skyline will see the most change in just 5 years
Say 15 years. Mumbai projects are slow af
Thanks to the BJP Government, mumbai is marching ahead and improving. While delhi is 😢
It should be at least 30 floors
10 floor is very less.
Building should be normally 30-40 floors.
Because lower no. of floors means lower supply of house 🏠
And therefore higher cost.

low rise is no bad, high rise building need redevelpment of roads and utilty infrastructure. changing from single house to ten floor is ten times space. even three floor to tweleve floor is four times space. it is okay to not build high rise. they have logistical changes in delevering basic needs like water and elecricuty
10-15 floors is swanky high rise? Only in Delhi… Delhi needs proper 21st century high rise which symbolises as a modern capital

DDA which has most of the land in urban villages of delhi should develop them and remove encroachments on the land which it owns.DDA and PWD have ruined delhi.
This was my suggestions 20 years ago, noone listened to me. This accomodates more people and most importantly release very precious land for commercial use, parks, greenaries. Most of the offices business are now at residential home, very inconvenient and ugly
I listened to u even 20 yrs ago.
Delhi me bahut saari Unauthorized colonies hai.
Usko redevelop karna bahut zaruri hai.
Aur old Delhi (Sadar Bazar, Chandni Chock, Jama Masjid area etc ) ko to pura hi redevelop karna chahiye.
Bahut kharab area hai wo abhi.
While I do not like the politics of Modi, I greatly admire his economic vision for the country. I just hope in his last term he strives more to unify the country.
May I ask what do you not like or Modi’s politics ?
it is not Modi politics. no one likes politics, especially if they prefer a ideal view. in real world, you can not leave any unfair advantage as opoosition will use it centainly.
This is all Jumla to make money for his Gujju real estate mates who are building substantial apartments. Gujju mafia has destroyed India and they themselves are illegally migrating to Western countries.🤦♂️
The country was divided in 1947 by the con-gress party. So...
10-14 floors is not 'swanky highrises'. I think ThePrint needs to travel the world to know the definition of 'highrises'. Highrise means buildings that are 50-60 floors
Are ye sarkari logon ke liye ha.
True, they should have been atleast 20 floors high to even claim to be highrise
High rise buildings have different meanings in different countries for example in the US it is 7 floors and above while in India it is above 4 floors. 50-60 will be above 200m so that's considered skyscraper
Are any earthquake resistant technologies incorporated in redevelopment into highrise housings given Delhi falls under seismic zone 5? Also what are fire safety and emergency extrication measures and have local municipal corporations inducted adequate numbers of large cranes in their fire brigades?
OC certificate is issued only if a building passed those criteria in India. Different cities have their respective seismic zone criteria.
Irony is they say these are GPRA...General Public....But are restricted to central government employees..
It isnt General public, but General Pool residential accommodation. General pool refers to being open for all central govt employees, instead of specific departments.
General Public nhi General Pool hai 😂. For govt employees like us
The way my country is developing,it is not impossible that we will become a developed nation in 2047. All credit goes to the Visionary Man Narendra Modi "The Doer" I wish we had a stable BJP govt in the 70s,80s, and 90s then we might at par with china or just behind china. Now they are 6 times bigger than Us GDP wise. The 60s were doomed and wasted because of Wars and 70s is ruined by Indira Gandhi.
The problem is ROAD WIDTH. This affects the future quality of life for the citizens in the redeveloped dwelling in the locality/area/region on which there seems to be no planning. Traffic, sound pollution, lack of discipline, garbage collection, the negatives go on & on. Pune is holding its first Pune Public Policy Festival on 19-20 January 2024 to focus on all issues concerning administration. Please see if The Print can cover this. Thanks.
The people who build the road and the people who build next to the road dont comnunicate with each other- so the road is unfit for construction along the roads. Thats why you see Big Malls connected to a single lane road in some places. Next the traffic police which has no power to design roads or decide on giving construction permits has to manage traffic with arbitrary rules.
Finally there is a bunch of corrupt criminals and incompetent jokers called "town planners" - they sit in an office in some remote corner of the city and make plans without knowing head or tail of the area they are planning.
In every dimension our cities are not just Bad - they are in fact Terrible disasters. Even Ant hills and termite colonies have better organized layouts.
What’s your opinion about 15 minute city?
🇮🇳 rising ❤
Like Singapore, GOI should also try to better assimilate people from different cultures into these societies. Right now most colonies are divided based on religion, caste, region. It will help in breaking some bad traditions and will weaken the mafias in these places
These buildings are for government employees
It's impossible bro because of Rohingya and bangladeshi illegal immigrants , they are so many 😢 and goi doing nothing
@@thespiderguy3515 These are Indian government employee quarters. These apartments have nothing to do with Bangladesh immigrants and Illegal immigrants from Myanmar.
You are wrong. Government of India employee quarters are not based on caste or religion. They are based on their grade in government service or department - for example, apartments for employees in foreign service etc. Apartments are not allocated based on caste, religion etc. It is better to check information before you post non-sense information on the net. It shows your lack of knowledge, Mr. Singapore.
jab sab central govt kar raha delhi mein toh woh kejriwal kya kar rha hai ?
kuch nahi. and these projects are related to central ministry adminstration. kejriwal is supposed to run dehli as whole like utility, public tranasport, etc.
Wow the Print showing something positive regarding the government shocked.
Living in East kidwai nagar gpra. The quality of work is bad. Every other day we hear ceiling has fallen somewhere. NBCC did bad job here
There is a government owned and developed DDA housing society in inhabitable condition in North delhi , why is this government blind eyed to it.
Any update on DMRC Rithala Narela metro corridor expension project which is delayed by decade now
Any infrastructure and urban development happening in Delhi is due to Central Government. State government and MCD have been total and utter failures.
I hope they will good world class buildings, not slum scarpers
What Kejriwal is doing 😢 nothing
Whole Delhi is full of poor unplanned colonies .
Delhi govt should start converting them in skycrappers buildings with parks and other facilities ( at least learn from central govt)
1:30 mpd
Those new apartments look very bad. Send them to Mumbai to understand what swanky looks like.
Mumbai buildings are indeed tall
But sorry to say they look extremely Uglyyyt
Mumbai's skyscrapers are very poorly planned
One should see the skyscrapers of US or China
And skyscrapers should be built that way
Thank you Rahul Gandhi for this incredible transformation 🙏🏻
Are they earthquake resistant like building in japan?? If not ,you are building high rise building in a seismic zone...
But AAP will take the claim on this development in Delhi🤪
Redeveloping these govt lands into housing more people is a very good idea however it also has some loopholes and negative externalities to take care of. Making tall tower like structures with huge commercial areas wont stop people from using cars, rather it actually defies the idea of a 'compact city'. Also a few of these colonies such as lodi colony contains a lot of intrinsic socio-cultural value hence erasing them fully and redeveloping them is a loss of those beautiful city places where a lot of people associate with them. It also decreases a sense of belongingness among people which leads to more socio-spatial stigmatization. Also, one of the biggest problems is that this is going to bring in several forms of gentrification, be it the eviction of street dwellers from parks, footpaths and other public spaces or how it will destroy the surrounding local economies and create rent hike in different pockets of the city. Hence, on paper it sounds like a really good idea as it only considers the economic value of land as the main factor behind developing delhi but it ignores the sociological and ecological value of land. Kuala Lumpur, Ho chi minh city, Ha noi like cities are good examples of how to create a balanced development, the MOHUA ministry should do a case study of such cities before taking such desperate decisions!
Great news for govt employees what about the common man?
There are lots of private players on estate for non govt employee citizens. Why should govt plunge into construction business?
@@SiddharthRaiyani yes there are lots of private real estate projects but it's paid by the citizens. But why should the public pay for housing of government employees? Why can't they buy it themselves

They should build similar housing and commercial developments around new metro and intercity railway stations, similar to what Austria, Japan, and Singapore did with their public housing developments.
No more should development revolve around even more highways.
Why can't the make 40-50 storey high buildings
Buildings cost start rising rapidly after 15 floor . Delhi has much more land area in case of Mumbai that can happen
And Delhi also lie on fault line which is why it is quite prone for earthquakes.
It's not happening in Mumbai either. We had a very British mentality not to build high rises it would be prone to earthquakes.
@@ayushgaurincrediblethere are buildings over 50 floors in Mumbai right now
Shekhar Gupta JI, But Modi must resign isn't it?
Need Old delhi areas should be redeveloped on massive scale .
It's gonna happen in a very old style like box building. And you call it modern architect.
it is a goverment quarter, not a personal housing scheme for sell.
What are the recycling plants? So much of trash piling across India what are the plans??
Government should keep a check on number of redevelopment happening in an area, there must be a limit to increase in flats or galas in an area, or else it will be crowded and short on resources, which ultimately leads to death of peace of mind for residents.
Meanwhile P*OP(AAP) Party want Entire Delhi To be Turned into Slum Ridden Old Delhi with Drity Streets, Shanty Town, Road,Non-Tax paying Occupying Street Vendors and most of this for Appeasing a Single Community which has the Lowest Literacy among all religions in India,Has Less Businessmen than Small Parsi or Jain Communities

that is why they did not went for high rise.
Did they leave any open spaces or just kept constructing constructing and constructing?
Just on the smae lines unauthorised colonies need to be evacuated and high rise building need to be made on that land which can be used for both govt officials and for retired govt and civil servants,if we give flats to all the retired civil servants,beurocrats,ex armed forces,ex policeman and even govt officials then after retirement they can live with their families in these flats till they and their spouse are alive,then their families can vacate the flats for others,this will help in reducing the corruption and incentivise fairness in their working days.Only the corruption free officials should be alotted this facility.
Modi 3.O❤
Maharashtra Govt should also learn from this initiative and redevelop dialipaded old Govt colonies in Mumbai and Pune. Lets hope that BJP's corrupt allies in Maharashtra will allow BJP to do good work.
Mumbai me bhi banado kuch
They are redeveloping dharavi.
These are government colonies not illegal slums colonies. For redevelopment of these unauthorised illegal colonies Delhi Government has to invest in the infrastructure.

Hope people remember to develop south India also … south India even though contributing major share for economy doesn’t have a dedicated freight corridor or much needed expressways or infrastructure needed in choked cities
Blame Stalin. He's had been sitting on approvals and permits. AP and KN portions of Bengaluru Chennai Expressway is getting built at a rapid pace but TN section is waiting on land transfers from The State govt. If that's the level of cooperation Stalin is providing for an Expressway, then think how much he cooperates to get larger projects done.
@@libshastrawhatever the politics it’s people of south who are suffering… the cities are choked…you don’t kill the goose that gives you the golden eggs right?… south India is major contributor to Indias progress and it’s heartbreaking that there is not even a dedicated freight corridor linking the ports..
at least read previous comment. it is not that central does not want to redevelop them. it is that state authority does not transfer land. just take Mumbai-ahmedabad HSR. state government stopped the land transfer till BJP won in state election. so even if central passes a project, it will just remain a file. Modi administration don't like to leave project for some future generation. they prefer to complete project on declared timeline.@@sps6
@@sps6 It's not only about the politics. It's about rules and laws which are laid down. Central govt can propose plan but since land is a subject of state list so it's state duty to give lands for development project.
Why would the south need a dedicated freight corridor when it already has seaports. dedicated freight corridor is to connect landlocked states to ports
All that remains is to fix Delhi's air pollution.
The Info Management Should Be Done Well. As Soon As Slums Are Touched, Massive Misinformed Protests & Propaganda Will Start. Hope That Doesn't Become A Hurdle.
