Question

Attempt short notes Urban trade centres

Answer 1

In a judgement dated October 18, 2012, the Delhi high court had stated that “the Master Plan of Delhi is a statutory plan prepared under the Delhi Development Act 1957 and has the force of law”.

Despite this, various government agencies responsible for urban development seem to have scant regard for the Master Plan Delhi 2021 (MPD) and continue to violate regulations allowing development on an arbitrary basis.

With projects worth several thousand crores that have been entrusted to it in the National Capital Region, the NBCC continues to implement projects with disregard for the MPD 2021 and other Zonal Plans, in which specific land use regulations have been prescribed.
