The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Tuesday approved inclusion of extended Lal Dora areas in the Master Plan-2021, under the review process. Extended Lal Dora areas comprise habitation beyond recognised abadi (village boundaries).

“According to the decision taken on Tuesday, extended Lal Dora areas, which came up till 2007, will be given residential status,” non-official DDA member Naseeb Singh said.

Lal Dora refers to the part of village land that falls under abadi. The term applies to 362 rural and urban villages and includes areas like Basant Gaon, Munirka, Yusuf Sarai, Mehrauli, Lado Sarai, Shahpur Jat and Mahipalpur.

Other Master Plan amendments approved in the meeting, included provision of multi-gym in district and community parks with an area of over one hectare and subject to a maximum built-up area of 225 sqm. Norms for activities like multi-purpose community halls, religious sites, police stations, healthcare centres, milk booths, etc, in unauthorised or regularised colonies have been made flexible.
