Maha Govt scarps Mumbai Development Plan

A new development plan for Mumbai, which called for development at the cost of green zones and allegedly had serious flaws, has been scrapped by the Maharashtra government. The Mumbai Development Plan 2034, an urban planning blueprint released on February 16, had been strongly opposed by citizens, including politicians and actors. Architects and town planners have called the plan "irrelevant" to the needs and aspirations of Mumbai residents.
