New Delhi, Dec 16 (PTI) South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Monday demanded immediate implementation of the land pooling and green development area policies to prevent the national capital from turning into a "slum".

Bidhuri said the land pooling policy and the green development area (GDA) policy will also help the farmers of Delhi to get market value of their land besides earning revenue for the government.

"By implementing the Land Pooling Policy and the GDA Policy, Delhi can be saved from becoming a slum. The demand of people for houses will be fulfilled and employment will also be generated," Bidhuri said raising the demand in the Lok Sabha.

He said the farmers of Delhi are waiting for the implementation of these policies, which are yet to be operationalised.
