The draft was preliminarily approved on June 9 by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) advisory council chaired by Lt Governor Anil Baijal, and was placed for inviting objections and suggestions in the public domain for the following 45 days.
The debates on the draft have even urged the Central government to direct the DDA to increase the inviting public suggestions date till August 23.
The various suggestions received from different people and civil society groups involve the need for provisions for child-friendly mobility, creche facilities, and feeding rooms to improve women's participation in the workforce.
The gender-friendly city development is another crucial suggestion to ensure that women and other genders can avail themselves of services.
DDA's Vice Chairman Anurag Jain said that there were many challenges in MPD-2041 preparation. All the earlier master plans of Delhi were made after the specified time frame. Despite the setback in the process due to the Covid-19 pandemic, MPD-2041 has been prepared in the stipulated time,
Before the advisory council of DDA, all the recommendations and objections will be placed for discussion. All suggestions received from the people are important as the MPD-2041, Jain said.
In July 2017, the draft preparations of MPD-2041 started, after the DDA signed an agreement with the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) for this purpose.
The draft MPD-2041 of 487 pages deals with various issues that will affect the city in the coming years.
The draft includes a 24-hour city plan with a night-time economy, extensive transport infrastructure, affordable housing, and a healthy environment to reduce illegal colonies and pollution.
