Constituent Assembly of India (Legislative) Debates Proceedings other than Questions and Answers Monday 6th September 1948 Official Report

I am glad that in both the directions in the direction of the manufacture of fabricated houses as also in the direction of providing brick houses rapid prgress is being made and I only wish that this wdrk should be continued and under no circumstances should it be stopped. [...] If you do not mention here :the period there will always be disputes between the arbitrator and the land holder and the decision of the arbitrator will be challenged in the High 'Court by the dissatisfied party. [...] This class of people can contribute one-fourth of the cost of the house take a loan of the balance of three-fourths from the Government and build their houses. [...] I can assure you that if the Government takes steps in the right direction in this matter a new model town will be created on the effort of the displaced persons of course with the support of the Government and local bodies which will be a pride to the city of Delhi. [...] Therfore I would urge that the condition of payment of compensation provided in this Bill should be waived and in lieu thereof provision be made to the effect that they should be given land of the corresponding value.
