DDA approves Master Plan Delhi 2047; affordable housing, Yamuna O-zone

The people in charge of Delhi made a new big plan for the city, called the Delhi Master Plan 2047.

This plan will guide how the city grows over the next 20 years, all the way to 2047.

The plan wants to build many homes that people can afford.

Tall apartment buildings will be allowed near metro and railway lines, so lots of new houses can be built.

In the next 10 years, about 17 lakh new homes could be built.

The plan also protects the Yamuna river's floodplain area.

No concrete buildings are allowed close to the river, but parks and other recreational spaces can be made there.

Getting permission to build will also become easier and faster, because builders won't need many extra certificates.

Old homes built by the Delhi Development Authority can now be repaired and rebuilt under new rules too.

The plan still needs final approval from the central government before it becomes official.
