Request Centre to alter Masterplan: HC

According to New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), as per the Zonal Development Plan, about 18 acre land on Bhai Vir Singh Marg was marked for the Central Business District (CBD) and a portion of the area has been allotted to DMRC.

“The ground coverage of CBD plot having been fully exhausted, the NDMC could not have statutorily accorded sanction to the building plans of DMRC,” said NDMC, adding the sanction to such building plan would violate the Delhi Master Plan.

At this juncture, a Division Bench headed by Justice Mukul Mudgal suggested both public bodies to request the Ministry of Urban Development for modification of the Master Plan. Asking them to resolve the issue jointly, the Bench told them to submit the representation to Centre in week’s time.
