Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has put its Draft Development Plan (draft DP) in public domain and has invited suggestions and objections from citizens in the next 60 days. The civic body has come out with a 20-year plan and proposes to spend Rs 10,588 crore on the development of various amenities such as gardens, roads, sporting arena, social and cultural facilities and upgradation of Cidco developed infrastructure.
However, residents feel that the city now falls short of open spaces for further development. In the proposed DP, 625 plots have been reserved for providing various amenities that include an international standard sports stadium on 75-acre land in Ghansoli. With around 5% land remaining to be developed and a projected population rise of 3,77,000 by the year 2038, NMMC is optimistic to find a solution to parking problems with 125 plots reserved for the same.
