“Plots will be developed. Help of DJB and MCD is being taken for sewerage facilities, water supply and construction of storm water drain. The scheme is ready but only the approval is pending,” DDA counsel Rajiv Bansal told a bench headed by acting chief justice AK Sikri.

Bansal has been asked to file an affidavit by March 14.
