In Southwest, the agencies would survey Indira market and Nand Vihar. Joshi Colony in Mandawali and Harijan Basti in Shakarpur are the colonies selected in the East.

The agencies have been given the task of surveying colonies and preparing their boundary maps and a rough layout plan.

Sources said the land records will be dug out as the available records will be standard for the demarcation of boundaries. “No matter how much such maps will be, they will give agencies a dimension to work with. Superimposition of maps will be done and the ground situation will be approximated in relation to the maps,” a source said.

Boundary maps will be created for every colony and the survey team will also do a rough layout mapping. The government has decided to first focus on 312 colonies that are on private land.

The remaining 895 will be taken up later. Sources said the agencies are expected to take at least a week to survey the colonies and prepare maps.
