The UT administration would use 25 acres of land in Sectors 52 and 56 to create banquet halls and green belts in addition to commercial areas with SCOs. This project will cost Rs 1,200 crore. Dharam Pal, a UT advisor, requested an urban planning department proposal for the use of the area last year.
