New Delhi, Aug 21 (UNI) The Delhi government will hand over the possession of the land acquired for Rohini-phase III and IV to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Wednesday, Court Commissioner Rakesh Khanna today said.

Mr Khanna had earlier informed the High Court that people were selling and purchasing the land which was already acquired by the Government. He said about 550-600 acres of land notified and acquired for building the Rohini project was being illegally occupied by the land grabbers.

The colonies include Deep Vihar, Begum Pur, Jain Colony, Lakhi Ram Park, Dhruv enclave, Ashok Nagar, Rama Vihar, Sharma Enclave, Baldev Vihar and Mubarkpur dabas.

Delhi government's lawyer, Sanjay Poddar told the Court Comissioner that the acquisition proceedings have been completed and the land will be handed over to the DDA.

The court had directed the DDA to ensure that the project proceeds without delay to prevent illegal occupants from grabbing it.
