It's been a fortnight since BMC enforced the city's revised development plan (DP), but urban planners are not convinced about it. In a letter they had sent to the municipal commissioner last month, they had pointed out mistakes the civic body made while allotting plots for development.

The most intriguing error of them is that some plots have been marked on nullahs, which the planners fear might have been considered as land available for development. Urban Planner Akhtar Chauhan and Architect David Cardos had written to Commissioner Ajoy Mehta asking him to rectify the errors. The letter mentions that as part of the DP, plots have been marked on Mogara nullah at Andheri West and near Anik Depot in Chembur. "The mistakes may appear to be an oversight but we have to ensure that the open spaces and natural reserves are protected. The commissioner has the power to correct these errors and they should be done," said Akhtar.
