“The boundary of the map follows the contours of the built up area. Technically, it means that nearly 50% of the colonies will not be regularised,” said chairman of standing committee, Rajesh Gehlot. The town planning department of the municipal body confirmed that they have received 2 DVDs of the first set of maps from the Delhi government.

“If vacant plots are not included, the owners will end up paying the cost of land twice,” added Gehlot.
