On a related note, Mehta added that the draft Development Plan 2034 for the city was ready and would be made public for suggestions, by the end of May.
The draft was first announced in February last year, only to be withdrawn two months later, after being criticised for errors such as wrong reservations applied to certain zones and plots.
