The BMC was asked to rework on the DP, rectifying the loopholes and come up with a fresh draft
Mumbai : The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) planned to meet officers of State government to discuss format of the fresh draft of the Development Plan (DP) 2034. The meeting is likely to be held next week.
The Devendra Fadnavis government scrapped the draft DP in April this year after activists, political parties, heritage lovers and eminent personalities opposed the plan citing perils that it could have shrunk city’s open spaces, resulting in congestion.
The civic body was then asked to rework on the DP, rectifying the loopholes and come up with a fresh draft within four months. According to sources, civic chief Ajoy Mehta had discussed the issue with civic officials on Saturday and the next meeting with government officials is likely to take place this week.
“We had a detailed discussion yesterday on this issue. We are going to have few meetings most probably either on Monday or Tuesday with officials to know in what format they want the corrected draft DP,” said senior civic officials.
“In the meeting, we discussed details of corrective measures taken by us and we are soon going to decide as to when we will submit report to the government and in what format,” he said.
