Lok Sabha

DDA have reported that applications for resitement of petrol pumps received from time to time on various ground were dealt with under the prevalent policy in this regard. However, as per latest policy approved by DDA on 20.6.2003, resitement will only be made if the land in question is being utilized for any planned project/scheme, which directly necessitates closing down of the petrol pump. No resitement will be made on any other ground and the alternate sites will be allotted through computerized draw. It was decided by the Authority on 20.6.2003 that petrol pump sites will now be disposed of through auction.

The policy in place before the above decision was that only such resitement proposals were considered which were necessary on account of unavoidable circumstances, like closure of traffic, construction of flyovers etc. The Oil Companies were required to submit their report along with all supporting documents in the Oil Industry Meeting.

All requests/proposals for resitement are now being considered in the light of the policy presently in vogue keeping in view the individual merits of the case. Any applications for resitement which may have been pending prior to the adoption of the new policy is also to be disposed off in terms of the present policy. As such, therefore, no seniority list in respect of requests received for resitement is maintained.Three requests pertaining to sites at PVC Market Tikri Kalan, Bindapur and Sector 10, Dwarka are presently under consideration.

This information was given by Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Urban Development, to the question raised by Shri Harikewal Prasad in Lok Sabha today.
