Thanks priya for giving us such a useful information .....
One of the benefits flowing out of the proposal to amend the Delhi Master Plan is the possibility that the Delhi Development Authority’s (DDA’s) monopoly over procurement of land in the capital will finally be broken.

As the junior minister of urban development and Delhi MP Ajay Maken points out, the DDA has developed just a sixth of the total commercial space it was supposed to have till date—so, where were the shops that were needed to meet Delhi’s needs? Not just shops, the problem extends to houses. The fact that there are lakhs of persons in queue each time the DDA opens up one of its housing schemes is testimony to the same problem of shortages and poor development. The development beyond Delhi’s borders of flourishing mini-cities like Gurgaon and Noida is a direct result of the DDA’s failure in Delhi.

The authorities need to make sure that the re-development of Delhi (for that is what this could mean) is done with proper planning and standard-setting, to meet the requirements of a modern metropolis in the 21st century.
