Representatives from villages in the national capital met Municipal Corporation of Delhi Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh and submitted a memorandum seeking exemption from house tax for the rural populace (Lal Dora and extended Lal Dora), in line with an assurance made to them earlier.

Exemption from house tax is one of the key demands of the city’s rural population, which had been assured to them during the recent assembly elections, Solanki said.

This waiver is being sought for properties in Delhi’s villages, especially those falling under the ‘Lal Dora’ and extended ‘Lal Dora’ zones.
This type of land refers to the demarcated residential areas within a village in Delhi. During the British era, a ‘red’ line was used to mark the ‘abadi’ area of a village, separating it from agricultural land.
Earlier in 2023, an announcement to this effect was made by then Mayor Shelly Oberoi. However, the notification is yet to be notified.
Solanki also stated that the previous AAP regime had disappointed the villagers.
“Promises of the exemption did make headlines, but no action has been taken on the ground, which is now bothering the village population,” the rural leader had said earlier.
On the other hand, residents of Delhi’s villages have been raising concerns over poor civic amenities, broken roads, and other related issues.
