Delhi Government Grants Urban Status to Remaining 48 Rural Villages
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the urbanisation of the remaining 48 rural villages in the capital, completing the process for all 357 villages. This change aims to integrate these areas into Delhi's urban planning framework, improving infrastructure like roads, sewerage, and civic amenities while preserving cultural identity. The move follows approvals from the Delhi Development Authority and Municipal Corporation and will formalise the villages' urban status under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, though land use changes require separate permissions.
