Delhi’s Master Plan is unreal, revision next year: Kamal Nath


The city’s development road map, the Delhi Master Plan 2021, is disconnected from ground realities and it will be revised next year, Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath said on Thursday.
The process of revising the document has already begun to make it more accommodating, Nath said, promising the changes will save several residential and commercial areas that currently face demolition.
“If the Master Plan had been correctly made, then those illegal constructions in the last 50 years would not have been there. Drawing the Master Plan sitting in office is different from ground reality,” Nath said, while inaugurating Delhi’s first fully automated car park at Sarojini Nagar Market in South Delhi on Thursday.
Nath said drafting the Master Plan of Delhi would be futile if planners did not take into consideration the burden of increased population and rapid development.
