Delhi Master Plan 2047 tabled for approval at DDA meeting
The city of Delhi wants to plan how it will grow over the next 20 years.
A big document called the Master Plan for Delhi 2047 has been written for this.
On Wednesday, a group called the Delhi Development Authority will look at the plan.
Their job is to decide whether to approve it.
If they say yes, India's central government will officially announce it a few days later.
The plan is meant to guide how land in Delhi is used.
There are some tricky parts, like how to share land fairly and where green areas should go.
It also talks about protecting the Yamuna river's floodplain, a special area that can flood and needs care.
At first, the plan was supposed to run until 2041, but leaders are now thinking about 2047 instead.
Everyone is waiting to see what the DDA decides.
The Master Plan for Delhi 2047 will be tabled at the Delhi Development Authority's meeting on Wednesday for approval.
If approved, the plan is expected to be notified by the Central government within a few days.
The DDA did not respond to queries about the meeting.
The Union government has been deliberating on changing the plan's horizon year from 2041 to 2047.
Key issues include land pooling, green development areas, and the Yamuna O-Zone eco-sensitive floodplain.
