  "account": "The Delhi Master Plan 2047, unveiled on Thursday, outlines a comprehensive strategy for the capital city, addressing housing, transport, redevelopment, the Yamuna River and environmental protection. With a projected population of 3.2 crore, the plan envisions the creation of 40 lakh new homes and an extended 695-km metro network.\n\nUnion Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar unveiled the blueprint, which includes the expansion of public transport through metro rail, buses and six new Regional Rapid Transit System corridors. Height restrictions on building heights have been removed in most regions, except for specific locations. The plan aims to boost investment, innovation, job creation and includes data centers, co-working spaces and cloud kitchens in the new economies category.\n\nThe Master Plan 2047 also proposes area-based redevelopment of eligible unauthorised colonies, allowing for combined settlements to improve roads, open spaces and public facilities. Developers, resident welfare associations or authorized groups can propose regeneration schemes, with a minimum area of 2,000 square meters and a maximum floor area ratio of 350.\n\nTo address the Yamuna River revival, the plan includes intercepting and treating all 22 drains discharging into the Yamuna using sewage treatment, constructed wetlands and bio-remediation. Additionally, ecological restoration along the 22-km stretch between Wazirabad and Okhla barrages is proposed, covering around 1,700 hectares of the Yamuna floodplains. A no construction zone along the active floodplain is also suggested, allowing only recreational activities.",
