Message-ID: <20041105194912.68814.qmail@web53807.mail.yahoo.com> Weekend newspapers are likely to carry a Public Notice inviting for 30 days our objections and suggestions on a do-it-yourself-at-your-cost bhagidari idea for industries -- to be added to the industrial area redevelopment option that DMP-2001 cautiously opened up (for just 3 areas against nearly 3000 Ha of development options). Industries, still continuing to be shut, are likely to welcome out of no choice this proposition. The buzz is that politicians want them to respond in large numbers in *support*. The Public Notice might be thus *managed*, the *crisis* diffused, but not resolved, left to simmer for later. Or, in the divide-and-loot pattern in this affair since 1999, certain experts, NGOs, etc, might *vote against* – not the idea, but industries – followed by pious pleadings in Court against unholy act of state-as-politician using affidavits, reports, etc, of state-as-administrator, to paint industries as culprits, confuse development law for penal code, etc, etc. This Public Notice is not for industries, but for a wayward state, trying to change definition of redevelopment, and by extension of development, so as to get rid of development responsibilities for which it has development powers, notably over public land acquired over nearly half-century only for development according to Plan, powers that it would rather use to plunder and sell. What Express Newsline has already reported, with misleading title, etc, suggests the battle is already lost (http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=105793). But this Public Notice is a *WIN*. Despite stiff odds of political consensus and divide-and-loot discourse, the shift from unlawful ordinance, enabling provision and whatnot to lawful s.11A Public Notice, from regularisation to redevelopment is a *WIN*. I think this Public Notice offers to those who believe in equity and efficiency and conflict-freedom and suchlike that lawful planned development stands for – not just for lawful compliance through statutory solution for industries, but for all other matters in regularisation limbo and redevelopment haste – a good fighting chance. I am reserving for this Public Notice the mail-list at: http://mail.architexturez.net/mailman/listinfo/redevelopment __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

Too much seems to be filling up the gap between their announcement and publication. I found, among other things, three reports dated November 13, 2004 (my computer is showing Nov 10, am I in a time-warp?) at http://www.tehelka.com/channels/news/news_main.asp - tantalisingly available to subscribers only, and only NRI and overseas readers can subscribe. - Handbrake on relocation? With the Delhi government regularising 24 non-conforming areas, owners are not yet smiling. Industrial workers don’t know if they can escape being uprooted, says Mihir Srivastava - Anything can be accommodated, not the poor By Mihir Srivastava - VIRTUAL REALITY Warehouses of Mass Dirt? The media hysteria underlines the threat to delhi’s working class population DUNU ROY Mr Srivastava's take on industries / DMP I don't know, but Mr Roy's opinions featured prominently in so-called pro-industry (anti-DMP) discourse of 2000. Anyone see anything since the judgment by Mr Roy? (I am curious - since another Tehelka-Roy report lately claimed that after change of government slum evictions have stopped, which is not true). ps: btw, there was no news / opinion at all on Public Notice of 21 June (arising from the judgment) – was there? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
