New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta lauded the Central government for regularizing Delhi’s unauthorized colonies on an “as is, where is” basis under the PM-UDAY scheme, saying the new framework allows 1,531 colonies to be regularized without the need for layout plan approval. Further, he informed that all plots and buildings within these colonies will be considered residential. Addressing a press conference at the National Media Center on Tuesday, he further informed that the joint survey will be conducted by the revenue officials under strict timelines. DDA-GIS survey will be completed within 7 days, deficiencies resolved within 15 days and conveyance deed issued within 45 days. He also said that out of 1,731 unauthorized colonies, 511 were being regularized immediately. “…In 2019, the government launched the PM-UDAY scheme for unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Under it, ownership transfer and mortgage rights were provided to residents. So far, around 40,000 conveyance deeds and authorization slips have been issued, although technical problems slowed down the progress, especially with the approval of the layout plan. Thanks to the intervention of the Prime Minister and the Urban Ministry, a major step has now been taken. There are about 50 lakh residents in unauthorized colonies in Delhi, about 10 lakh families. The new scheme allows regularization of 1,531 colonies, without requiring layout plan approval. CM Gupta said, all plots and buildings will be considered residential. “The approval process has been simplified: the responsibility now rests with the Revenue Department of Delhi, with ADM level officers as the single-point approval authority. The survey will be conducted jointly by revenue officials and strict timelines have been set. DDA-GIS survey within 7 days, resolution of deficiency within 15 days, and issuance of conveyance deed within 45 days. Of the 1,731 unauthorized colonies, 511 are being regularized immediately. The remaining excluded colonies are in restricted areas such as ridge areas, ozone-sensitive areas or near protected monuments. Authorization certificates will be issued by MCD…” CM Gupta said. Earlier, the central government had launched the Prime Minister-Unauthorized Colonies Housing Rights Scheme (PM-UDAY) in Delhi in 2019 to provide ownership rights to residents. However, progress under the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) remained slow for a long time. Therefore, in a significant change, the government has now approved regularization of these colonies on “as is, where is” basis. Under this principle, existing constructions would be accepted in their present form and given legal status. According to Union Housing Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, this step will provide great relief to small traders, because small shops up to 20 square meters will also become regular under certain conditions. The application process is scheduled to begin on April 24, with a fast-track timeline that includes a strict deadline of 7 days for GIS survey, 15 days for rectifying application deficiencies and 45 days for issuance of conveyance deed. “Under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister @NarendraModi Ji, today begins a new chapter of dignity and rights for residents of unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Under the PM-UDAY scheme, 1511 out of total 1731 unauthorized colonies are being regularized on “as is, where is” basis without the mandatory requirement of layout plan. Additionally, the land use for all plots and buildings will be treated as residential, and regularization will be done only for existing built-up structures. Will be done on “as is, where is” basis. Giving relief to small traders, small shops up to 20 square meters will also be regularized with conditions. This application process will start from April 24, with a deadline of 7 days for GIS survey, 15 days for processing deficiencies in applications and 45 days for issuing conveyance deeds,” Khattar said.

इसके तहत अस्पतालों में आइसोलेशन वार्ड तैयार करने के निर्देश दिए गए हैं. साथ ही पॉजिटिव केस को अविलंब आईडीएसपी पोर्टल पर अपलोड करने का निर्देश दिया गया है. आमतौर पर डेंगू के मामले जुलाई के बाद ही सामने आते हैं, लेकिन मार्च-अप्रैल में डेंगू के मामले सामने आने पर स्वास्थ्य विभाग सतर्क हो गया है।

विभाग ने इस क्रम को तोड़ने की तैयारी शुरू कर दी है। हाल ही में मुख्य चिकित्सा अधिकारी ने जिले के सभी सरकारी और निजी अस्पतालों को एडवाइजरी जारी कर डेंगू और मलेरिया से लड़ने की तैयारी पूरी करने को कहा है. इसमें सभी अस्पतालों में आइसोलेशन वार्ड रखना अनिवार्य होगा. इन वार्डों के सभी बेडों पर मच्छरदानी लगानी होगी। इसके अलावा सभी जरूरी दवाएं भी रखने को कहा गया है.

एलाइजा टेस्ट में पॉजिटिव मरीजों को ही डेंगू पीड़ित माना जाए।

विभाग ने सभी अस्पतालों को सख्त निर्देश दिए हैं कि केवल एलाइजा पॉजिटिव मरीजों को ही डेंगू का मरीज माना जाए। कई बार अगर अस्पताल का कार्ड जांच में डेंगू पॉजिटिव पाया जाता है तो उसे डेंगू पॉजिटिव माना जाता है, लेकिन बाद में जब एलिसा से जांच की जाती है तो वह नेगेटिव आता है। डेंगू के लिए एलिसा सबसे विश्वसनीय परीक्षण है।

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar (left), 47, and her daughter Sarinsadat Hosseini, 25, relatives of the Iranian leader, were living a luxurious life in the US.

After the State Department revoked the green cards of Hamideh Suleimani Afshar, the niece and granddaughter of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and her daughter Sarinsadat Hosseini, the administration is targeting other elite Iranians living in the US. Katie Miller, the podcaster wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, appeared on Fox News and said she was aware that President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were working diligently to revoke the visas of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 Iranian elites living in the US. Miller also asked why so many elite people of the Iranian regime were given protection not only in the US but also in European countries. “The double standard, not only in their wardrobe, but the fact that they get to live here in the greatest country in the world in security and prosperity, you can’t get enough of that,” Miller said. After the outbreak of the war, Dr. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, whose late father was a top official in Tehran, was removed from Emory University, prompting a massive backlash asking why she was allowed to retain the prestigious position of assistant professor at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta.However, the most high-profile cases are the ICE arrests of the mother-daughter duo as their arrests revealed that they were living a luxurious life in Los Angeles. “While in the United States, he (Afshar) promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against U.S. troops and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced the U.S. as the “Great Satan” and voiced his unwavering support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization. “Afshar Soleimani promoted this propaganda for Iran’s terrorist regime while enjoying a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles, as evidenced by his frequent postings on his recently deleted Instagram account,” the State Department said. Afshar entered the US on a tourist visa in 2015 and was later granted asylum by an immigration judge in 2019. She became a lawful permanent resident in 2021. But in his 2025 naturalization application, officials say he disclosed multiple trips to Iran after receiving his green cardWhich is now grounds for disqualification. His daughter entered the United States on a student visa in July 2015. In 2019, a judge granted him asylum. She became a green card holder in 2023.

The British government on Tuesday barred Kanye West from entering the country, citing public interest concerns over his past anti-Semitic comments, prompting organizers to cancel London’s Wireless Festival.

The sale of tickets had started a few hours in advance.

Sponsors reach out, offer outreach

The controversy intensified after major sponsors, including Pepsi and Diageo, withdrew support from the event.Amid the growing backlash, West attempted damage control by offering to meet with members of Britain’s Jewish community. In a Wall Street Journal advertisement titled “For the People I’ve Hurt,” he said his aim was “to present a show of change, bringing unity, peace and love through his music.”“I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet members of the Jewish community in Britain in person,” he said, acknowledging that “words are not enough.”

The song came under renewed scrutiny in May 2025 after West released a track titled “Heil Hitler”, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II – leading to further outrage.While the rapper had previously expressed regret over his anti-Semitic comments, attributing them to bipolar disorder, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting called such justification “appalling”.Prime Minister Keir Starmer also expressed concern over West’s booking, saying it was “deeply worrying” given his past comments and “celebration of Nazism”.
