Haryana Proposes Nearly 60% Reduction in NCR Area Affecting Six Districts
Haryana plans to reduce its National Capital Region (NCR) area by nearly 60%, cutting its contribution from 14 districts covering 25,327 sq km to about 10,546 sq km. This change follows the Draft Regional Plan-2041, which proposes limiting the NCR to a 100-km radius from Rajghat, Delhi. Unlike Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, Haryana intends to include only tehsils fully within this radius, affecting districts such as Panipat, Karnal, Jind, Mahendragarh, and parts of Bhiwani. The NCR Planning Board will discuss this proposal on June 16.
