The Supreme Court has cleared the acquisition of 12,000 acres land in Chattarpur, South Delhi, for a sub-city roughly the size of Dwarka.
When completed, it will have 2 lakh dwelling units, hospitals, schools and markets, said officials of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which will start work once it gets the land.
Most of this is agricultural land sprawled over 13 villages. But there are a large number of farmhouses there as well owned by politicians, business people and bureaucrats. The Delhi government will begin taking possession of the acquired land now, and hand it over to the DDA for the sub-city.
