NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Subhash Chopra along with some party MLAs called on Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy on Friday demanding notification of the Tejinder Khanna Committee report and its incorporation into the Master Plan for Delhi-2001.

According to Mr. Chopra, the Minister assured him that the July 21 notification about implementation of certain portions of the Tejinder Khanna Committee report on mixed land use and building by-laws would be notified and incorporated into the Master Plan for Delhi-2001 soon. This would provide relief to large sections of the affected people.

Ground realities

Mr. Chopra said the Minister assured him that the Union Government was well aware of the ground realities and there was no need to panic as adequate measures were being put in place to ensure that the law was also complied with and relief was also provided to the common man.

Uncertain future

Mr. Chopra said he had urged the Union Minister to speed up the work on finalising the Master Plan for Delhi-2021 so that the uncertain future facing the people of Delhi was put to an end. At the same time he advocated strong action against land mafia and those who have encroached upon government land.
