Expedite Master Plan preparation, Delhi CM urges LG VK Saxena
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has requested Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to expedite the long-awaited Master Plan 2041 to address the city's expanding demands. Gupta emphasized that the plan should offer solutions to current development challenges and benefit future generations for the next century.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday urged Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to hasten the "delayed" Master Plan 2041 to meet the city's growing needs.
Speaking after launching works under Gramodaya Abhiyan, Gupta said that the new Delhi Master Plan should be such that it not only presents solutions to the existing developmental issues, but also benefits the upcoming generations for the next 100 years.
The Delhi Development Authority is preparing the Master Plan, she said, "It should be out soon. The Delhi government is ready to give its approval on a blank paper for anything that serves the interests of the city's people."
The chief minister said that after taking charge in February, she summoned the officers concerned and enquired about the draft Master Plan, which had been under preparation for many years.
"I was at my wits end when I saw the draft," Gupta said, adding that the officers were instructed to come up with a concrete Master Plan that served the interests of people.
Gupta lauded Lt Gov Saxena for his efforts behind various projects under the Gramodaya Abhiyan, aimed at developing the national capital's rural areas.
