Proposal to change 'NCZ' in draft plan raises concerns

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament questions the government's proposal to replace 'Natural Conservation Zone' (NCZ) with 'Natural Zone' in the Draft Regional Plan 2041. The committee wants to know the reasons for the change in 'nomenclature' and its impact on the region's green area coverage. The committee emphasizes the importance of planning green areas from people's point of view and considering public opinion on environmental issues. The committee, led by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, raises concerns about the dilution from NCZ to Natural Zone and the status of protected areas in NCR. The NCR Planning Board has received suggestions and objections on the draft plan and is expected to finalize it in the next six months.
