On the instructions of the Lt Governor, the Delhi Development Authority held the camps for the people residing in the unauthorised colonies of Delhi.

The camps are located in Burari, Najafgarh, Aya Nagar Ext, Karawal Nagar, Budh Vihar Colony, Nangloi, Khirki Extension Malviya Nagar and New Ashok Nagar. On Sunday, Saxena visited the camp at Shyam Vihar in Najafgarh and interacted with the beneficiaries and asked if they were satisfied with the various services offered at the camp. Some of the services that are offered at the camps include matters related to the issue of conveyance deeds and authorisation slips, GIS Survey, and new registration among others, it said.
