Approval of Ghaziabad's Draft Master Plan 2031 Put on Hold

01 Sep 2023 CW Team

The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has temporarily halted the approval process for the Draft Master Plan 2031. This significant decision comes in light of the ongoing evaluation of a crucial proposal regarding the metro linkage in the region. The move has sparked interest among urban development enthusiasts and residents alike.

The proposal in question involves the integration of an extended metro network within Ghaziabad, which plays a pivotal role in the city's infrastructural development. While the Draft Master Plan 2031 holds the blueprint for Ghaziabad's future growth, the fate of this plan now hinges on the metro connectivity aspect.

The decision to put the approval on hold underscores the GDA's commitment to thoroughly assessing the potential impact of the metro project on the city's landscape and residents' convenience. This pause allows for a more comprehensive examination of the proposal's feasibility, financial implications, and long-term benefits.
