NCR Planning Board Retains All 14 Haryana Districts Within National Capital Region
The National Capital Region Planning Board decided to retain all 14 Haryana districts, including Karnal, Panipat, Jind, Mahendragarh, and Bhiwani, within the NCR boundaries, ending speculation about a reduction. This maintains Haryana's current NCR area of 25,327 sq km, preserving eligibility for infrastructure funding and development projects under Regional Plan-2041. The decision supports ongoing urban mobility initiatives like the Rapid Rail Transit System, while districts remain subject to environmental regulations tied to NCR status.
