New Delhi: A delegation of residents from Delhi’s rural areas on Thursday met Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva and the Mayor of Delhi, Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh at Delhi BJP office.

The delegation, led by Palam’s 360 villages Pradhan, Chaudhary Surender Solanki submitted a memorandum seeking waiver of house tax in Lal Dora areas of villages.

The delegation mainly included Chaudhary Naresh (Lado Sarai), Suresh Shaukeen (Nangloi), Azad Shaukeen, Sunil, Ramkumar Rana, Rajeev Beniwal, among others.

The delegation informed Virendra Sachdeva that citizens residing in Lal Dora areas of Delhi’s rural regions are traditionally connected to a rural way of life, and imposing house tax on them is not only impractical but also an unjust financial burden.

They demanded that Lal Dora areas be completely exempted from house tax and that a permanent exemption be granted with immediate effect.

Assuring the delegation, Virendra Sachdeva said that the BJP has always stood in support of the interests of Delhi’s rural population and Lal Dora areas. He stated that Lal Dora areas are an integral part of Delhi’s original identity and that residents living there will not be harassed in any manner.

Virendra Sachdeva urged the Mayor to take a positive decision on the matter at the earliest and emphasized that a clear relief policy should be formulated at the municipal level to provide relief to the public, so that long-standing confusion and dissatisfaction can be put to rest.

The Mayor also listened seriously to the delegation’s concerns and assured that appropriate action would be taken at the municipal level regarding the issue of house tax in Lal Dora areas, with public interest being given top priority.
