CHAPTER –I
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 According to MPD -2001, National Capital Territory of Delhi has been divided
into 15 planning Zones. Out of these 8 Zones (A to H) cover Urban Area as
shown in the Landuse Plan. Zone ‘O’ Covers River Yamuna and the remaining
6 zones (J,K,L,M,N & P) cover Rural area / Urban Extension (refer map 1).
2.0 OBJECTIVE:
The basic objectives of Zonal Plan for Planning Zone ‘L’ are:
3.1 The Delhi Development Act-1957 under section -8 provides a list of features
that may be included in the zonal development plan. Section -10 of the Act,
provides for the procedure to be followed in the preparation of the zonal
development plans.
3.2 The Zonal Development Plan for Planning Zone ‘L’ (West Delhi - III) has been
prepared using the available information in respect of following :

3.0 SALIENT FEATURES:
3.1 Najafgarh Drain Basin: Most of the Planning Zone ‘L’ forms part of the
Najafgarh Drainage basin, which is a sub basin of Yamuna River. The
topography of the zone depicts gentle slope from the North to South. The
Najafgarh drain originates from Najafgarh Jheel in the South west Delhi-
Haryana Border and traverse a length of about 51 kms before joining
Yamuna. The inflow of water into the drain is mainly from the following
sources.
3.2 Water Supply Situation: According to Delhi Jal Board the present
availability of portable safe drinking water in this area is about 12 mgd
from Haiderpur Water Treatment Plant and about 9mgd from 180 tube wells
in this area. However, the output performance of tube wells has shown a
declining trend.
Irrigation needs of the area are fulfilled mainly by private tubewells , Govt.
tubewells and 92 Govt. tubewells and canals. Therer are about 7818 private
tubewells and 92 Govt. tubewells in the Najafgarh block, according to BDO
and the deptt. of I & FC , GNCT Delhi,there is a declining tend of net sown
area; where as the demand for the domestic water is rising strictly .The
ground water table has declined due to over exploitation to the extent of
5mt to 20 mt. between 1983 and 1995. Fresh water is available upto about
40 mt. and there after with increasing depth the quality deteriorates with
increase in salinity.
3.3 Hydrogeology: The thickness of the alluvium is 300 mt. or more in most
part of Najafgarh block. The bed-rock consists of Alwar Quartzite which is
well stratify. Most part of the zone has non-calcarius soils with Iron and
Manganese concentrations. The soil is well drained with moderate
permeability.
3.4 Najafgarh Drain: It is one of the very old drains, where phased
improvements have been carried out over the years. The capacity of the
drain is about 3000-8000 cusecs in different segments, with very gentle
gradient of 1:25,000.
5
3.5 Other Features: The zone is on the fringe of upcoming sub-city of Dwarka
in its East, and urban extension scheme along NH-10 in its North. Najafgarh
town is the growing urban agglomeration with a population of 46,000 in
1991. The zone has major HT line corridor of 400 KV.
3.6 Forests: As per the information received from the Forest Deptt. of Govt. of
Delhi , the Najafgarh range has 7 protected forests / green areas. Out of
these, following protected forests fall in planning zone ‘L’.
Both these forests area indicated in the plan . These are proposed to be
protected as per the provisions of Forest Act. In addition to these forests
any additional area recommended for afforestation by the Forest Deptt. may
be suitability incorporated in the Zonal Plan.
3.8 Major Existing Campus: Two major institutional campuses related to para
Military Forces are existing in the zone. The campus of Border Security
Force is located in the Revenue area of village Chhawla where as campus
of Central Reserve police Force (CRPF) is located in village Jharoda Kalan.
These sites area existing for more than a decade and shall continue to
function in near future.
3.9 Unauthorized Colonies: According to Slum Wing of MCD, Delhi has about
1071 unauthorised colonies existing in different parts of the city. Final
decision regarding upgradation of the existing housing stock in the existing
unauthorized colonies is to be taken up on the basis of the approved Govt.
guidelines. Hence, such settlements area to be dealt as per the approved
Govt. policy.

CHAPTER III
Keeping in view the anticipated extension of NCR towns and also rate of
environmental degradation in the region, the Regional plan -2001 prepared
under the NCRPB Act, 1985, has catagorised the land use in the following four
distinct zones for application of land use control and balanced development.
These are follows:
a) Urbanisable Area: Under this category all the broad regional landuse as
detailed out in the prescribed Master Plan prepared in consultation with NCRB
shall be permitted, e.g. residential, commercial, industrial, government
offices, recreational etc. Incase of Delhi, this includes Delhi Urban Area as
well as proposed urban extension-2001.
d) Remaining ‘rural land’ includes mainly the vast agricultural land, forest,
ridge areas and rural settlements. Following major land uses can be
designated, with strict prohibition / control on large scale / hazardous
industries.
7
8
1) Intensive agriculture and allied activities.
2) Afforestation especially on the hill / rocky lands.
3) Regional recreational facilities such as regional parks, wildlife
sanctuary.
4) Cemeteries, schools, institutions, like hospitals may be
permitted. However, the proposed development, should
neither involve the use of high yielding agricultural land nor
should it adversely affect a site or special scenic beauty or
ecological interest.
5) Quarrying (Subject to Supreme Court order)
6) Brick kiln (-do-)
7) Existing village mandies.
8) Rural industries etc.
The draft Sub Regional Plan for NCT Delhi proposed a 4-tier
hierarchical system of settlements, consisting of Regional Centres (3 lakh and
above), Sub Regional Centres (0.5 to 3 lakh), Service Centres (10,000 -
50,000) and Basic Villages (less than 10,000). In case of Delhi, Najafgarh is
designated as a sub regional centre, with following six villages as service /
growth centres.
- Jharoda Kalan
- Dhansa
- Chhawla
- Mitraon
- Ujjwan
- Gummanhera
The MPD-2001 describes zone ’L’ mainly as ”Rural Area” with part Urban
Extension along the NH-10 between Railway line and the NH. The proposals
related to rural area of zone ‘L’ are as follows:
3.1 GROWTH CENTRES: Based on population, it’s growth rate and road
linkages, following five villages, falling in zone ‘L’ have been identified for the
location of major health facilities and markets.

e) Jaffarpur to chhawla- Najafgarh.
The proposed major roads as well as road upgradation have been identified in
the (map no.3)
5.2 BUS TERMINAL/DEPOT: One bus terminal is proposed near the Najafgarh
sub-regional centre. Specific area to be identified in the detailed development
plan of Najafgarh. Bus depots area proposed in each growth centres i.e.
Dhansa, Jaroda Kalan, Chhawla, Ghummenhera.
5.3 MRTS: Proposed MRTS corridor from Moti Nagar is to terminate at Najafgarh.
The detailed alignment of the same is yet to be worked out. A Depot near
Najafgarh is also proposed for MRTS, i.e. storage of equipments etc. The
proposal shall be implemented as and when approved by the competent
Authority. The plan proposes a dedicated bus route as an extension of MRTS
corridor from Najafgarh to Mitraon. The same could be extended upto Dhansa
depending on the traffic volume.
5.6 RAIL IMPROVEMENTS: A railway line from Delhi Cantt. to Rohtak is existing
in the North of the zone . Certain warehousing, storage and industrial use
zones, are proposed between the railway line and the existing NH 10. In
order to serve these requirements, railways may examine the possibility of
developing Tikri kalan as one of the centres for loading / un-loading.
19
5.7: CYCLE TRACKS: While the major movement corridors are proposed in the
Zonal Plan, provision of dedicated cycle tracks and improvement of existing
road surfaces is proposed to encourage the cyclists for short distance travel.
Proper landscaping shall further enhance their functional utility.
6.1 WATER: The major source of water is through ground water i.e. hand pumps,
tubewells and village wells for domestic consumptions. The domestic demand
is also supplemented through tankers and village ponds. According to MPD-
2001, the minimum domestic water supply in any residential area should be
@ 135 litre per capita per day. The present population of these zones is about
1.5 lacks for which a minimum water requirement as per Master Plan norms
works out to about 4.8 MGD and for projected population of lacs the
requirement is estimated as 7.2 MGD. In general, against the protected
requirement there is scarcity of potable water and also consumer reports
have revealed that the water level is going down with time, due to excessive
pumping. In order to improve the water situation, following specific proposals
are made:
6.2 SEWERAGE: The zone does not have a regular sewerage system being
predominantly rural in character. Most villages in the zone have conservancy
system with septic tanks. Najafgarh town is partly served by sewerage
system, which needs augmentation.
The zonal Plan proposes development of sewerage and low cost sanitation
systems for the entire zone in a phased manner. The following priorities
have been identified for the purpose.
i) Najafgarh
ii) 6 growth centres.
iii) 10 growth points.
iv) Other basic villages.
6.3 POWER: All the villages in the zone have regular power supply to meet the
domestic as well as agriculture power requirements. Diesel power
generation sets are also in use to supplement the power supply through
DVB. The eastern boundary of the planning zone L has 220 KV HT Corridor,
connecting Bamnoli, Najafgarh and Bawana. The power network is proposed
20
to be further upgraded by the Delhi Vidyut Board by erecting a 400 KV TC
transmission line as indicated in the Plan. In order to improve the availability
of power in the zone, a detailed distribution network needs to be planned by
the D.V.B. essentially to meet the additional requirement of Najafgarh
Town, proposed growth centres and Growth Points. The requirement of
additional land for new sub-stations as well as transmission corridors etc.
have to be duly integrated with planning and development of the Growth
Centres / Growth Points, setting of wind mills and Solar Energy Centres at
appropriate location with financial support of Department of non-
conventional source of energy may also be explored.
6.4 DRAINAGE: Najafgarh drain is the major natural drainage system in the
zone. The other important drains area Mundela , Mungeshpur drain with
“outfall” in the Najafgarh drain . During heavy rains , part of the area in the
zone covering settlements in the South and South West , occasionally face
problem of flooding . The plan recommends desilting of major drains and
planning and development of flood protection measures, through
construction of bunds at appropriate locations, as per the recommendation
of the Flood Control Deptt.
7.1 HEALTH: Delhi, being the capital city, enjoys specialized medical facilities
not only for the it’s population, but the population of surrounding towns.
Master Plan proposes a six tier system of health facilities in the urban areas,
with norms of 5 beds per 1000 population. No separate standard of health
facilities for rural areas has been provided in the Master Plan. As per
Directorate of Health Services, GNCT, Delhi, there are two hospitals and 36
dispensaries existing in the zone. For further upgrading and health facilities,
following is proposed.
