from 88% in 1986 to 80% in 1999.
Unauthorized conversion of land uses particularly along the transport corridors

Unplanned and haphazard growth in environmentally sensitive areas like river beds, ridge
areas, forest areas, etc.
Rural settlements close to Delhi and other metropolitan cities in ncr under-going rapid
physical and socio economic changes and shortage of basic services

Existing town & country planning acts in the ncr participating states do not have any control
on location of urban activities in rural areas outside the notified controlled/development
areas.
Rural Settlements

Railway line- 30m

Existing cultivated land to be conserved for agricultural use and efforts be made to
increase production through intensive cultivation.

Measures to be initiated for protection of prime agricultural land and ensure

its needless conservation into nonagricultural/ urban use.

Use of less valuable land for urban expansion / new urban centers / development
purposes
