Every illegal construction in Delhi's residential areas that came up before January 1, 2006 will be regularised. For, demolition on "such a large scale' may lead to "law and order problem' and the "displacement of millions of people requiring rehabilitation which the Government can hardly afford.' This is how the draft ordinance sent by the Sheila Dikshit Government to the Centre last week tries to go around the High Court's severe indictment of illegal constructions in the city.
