Summary:
The exercise will also include a revision in Mewat, where the NCZ area had already been finalized.“It is submitted that in the meeting (last year) held under the chairmanship of chief secretary, Haryana , it was decided to exclude the ‘bhood’ area from NCZ. In places like Gurugram, Sohna and Faridabad , that would be a real estate gold mine and will bring a revenue windfall to state coffers through land licences. GURUGRAM: Aravali areas that enjoy any form of legal protection will get thinner.Haryana’s town and country planning department has directed all districts to submit a report on natural conservation zones (NCZ) but only after excluding ‘bhood’ (sandy foothills) areas. District Mewat was taken in confirmed NCZ category. Now, the same needs to be taken out of the purview of NCZ,” states the agenda of the state-level committee meeting of the department held last week..
