09 Sep 2024 CW Team

The Delhi Master Plan 2041 has been pending for over a year, with the central government likely to miss a crucial deadline for its approval. The plan, essential for shaping the city's development and infrastructure over the next two decades, has faced significant delays.

Officials have yet to finalize the plan, which aims to address various urban challenges, including housing, transportation, and environmental sustainability. The delay has raised concerns among city planners and residents about the future trajectory of Delhi's growth and development.

The postponement underscores the need for timely planning and decision-making in managing the rapid urbanization of major cities.
