The minister made the remarks during a visit to Daulatpur village in southwest Delhi, said a statement by Verma's office.
The minister also announced that the first registry of properties falling under the Lal Dora category will be completely free of cost. The move is expected to resolve long-pending property disputes and enable people to obtain legal ownership documents without financial burden.
New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) The Delhi Master Plan 2041 will be implemented soon and 48 villages in the national capital will get urbanised, Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma said on Saturday.
'The long-awaited Master Plan 2041 is in its final stages and will be implemented very soon. Our goal is not just to create policies, but to transparently implement them on the ground with accountability,' Verma told reporters.
'Master Plan 2041 will change the face of Delhi's villages and provide the rural population with facilities at par with urban areas,' he added.
Under the ambitious plan, around 48 villages in Delhi will be urbanised, marking a historic shift in the capital's development strategy, the minister said.
Urbanisation will not only bring infrastructural growth to these areas but also provide access to essential urban amenities such as paved roads, proper drainage systems, reliable water supply, street lighting, schools, and healthcare facilities, he said. PTI VIT RHL

Bid to revive J&K tourism: BJP leader plays cricket in Pahalgam; watch video
Screengrab PTI NEW DELHI: Jammu & Kashmir BJP leader Ravinder Raina on Tuesday played cricket with Pahalgam locals in a bid to revive normalcy in the Valley, which witnessed a sharp decline in tourism after the April 22 terrorist attack at Baisaran meadow. In the clip, the BJP leader was seen bowling and batting with the local kids of the Valley. The efforts are being made from several quarters to revive tourism in Kashmir as travel agents from across the country will converge in Kashmir this weekend to boost tourism in the Valley. The Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI), which is one of the country's biggest umbrella organisations for agents with over 1,600 members, will be holding its meeting in Srinagar and Pahalgam from June 13-16 to instil confidence among the fraternity. Srinagar hotels and flights commanded a big premium before the Pahalgam attack as Kashmir was seeing unprecedented tourist footfalls post Covid. But after the April 22 attack, tourists already there left Kashmir in droves and those who had plans to visit cancelled the same. J&K is currently focussed on ensuring a safe Amarnath Yatra as they hope that will send out a message that tourists can return to Kashmir. The yatra duration has been curtailed to 38 days, instead of 52 days in 2024, and will be on between July 3 and August 9, 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Address of Pride – Signature Global SPR Signature Global Book Now Undo A total of 581 companies from various Central Armed Police Forces, along with personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, will be deployed along the pilgrimage routes to ensure safety of the lakhs of pilgrims. The tourism industry in Kashmir has been badly hit since Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 civilians in Pahalgam on April 22. The attack sent a shockwave across the nation, prompting the government to take kinetic action against terror camps deep into Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The Indian forces, in a big action, destroyed the terror camps of Jaish and Lashkar located in Pakistan's Bahawalpur and Muridke.

Meghalaya Minister demands apology from families of Sonam, Raja Raghuvanshi for ‘tarnishing' State's image
Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) demanded an apology from the families of both Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi for allegedly 'tarnishing' the image of the State and its people, as the investigation is underway in the murder case. Speaking to ANI, Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek said, 'We are thankful to the Meghalaya police for the breakthroughs in the ongoing investigation of the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. Now we are seeking an apology from Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi's families for tarnishing the image of Meghalaya and its people. We will file a case of defamation if they don't comply.' 'The accused will be brought here since the incident took place in the State. We do not have any issue if they want to hand over the case to the State police, central police or the probe agency, but the truth has already prevailed,' said the Minister. The family of Raja Raghuvanshi had earlier written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting a CBI inquiry into the matter. Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife, Sonam, went missing during their honeymoon in the northeastern state. The couple was last seen on May 23. Later, on June 2, Raja's body was found in a gorge at Sohrarim near Cherrapunji in Meghalaya. Sonam Raghuvanshi was later found near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road. Sonam had allegedly hired killers to get rid of her husband during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, just days after their marriage in Indore, they said. Four of them have been arrested. Sohra tourist guide satisfied as police arrest suspects A local tourist guide who alerted police about the presence of three unidentified men accompanying newlyweds Raja and Sonam Raghuvanshi on the day they went missing last month said he is satisfied that his information helped crack the case. Albert Pde, the guide at Mawlakhiat, told PTI, 'I am happy that the criminals are finally behind bars. We stand vindicated. Those who tried to tarnish the image of Sohra and its people as violent have now been exposed,' said a visibly relieved Pde. Mr. Pde had said he saw the couple accompanied by three male tourists as they were climbing over 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat around 10 am on May 23. According to the guide, 'the four men, including Raja, were walking ahead while the woman was behind. The four men conversed in Hindi,' he said, admitting that he was not very conversant in the language. Mr. Pde had initially offered his services to walk them to Nongriat on May 22, but they politely refused and hired another guide identified as Bha Wansai, who dropped them at Shipara homestay.

Pakistan's tax exemptions hit $21 billion; exceed external debt repayments: Economic survey reveals
Pakistan's tax exemptions to various sectors cost the country over $21 billion this year, more than the $17 billion it needs to repay in commercial and bilateral external debt, as revealed in the latest economic survey. Pakistan's finance minister Muhammad Aurangzeb presented the Economic Survey of Pakistan 2024-25 on Monday, which outlines various economic developments and indicators for the fiscal year. The survey indicates that tax exemption costs increased to Rs 5.8 trillion in fiscal year 2024-25, showing a substantial rise of Rs 2 trillion from the previous year's Rs 3.9 trillion under the current government, according to news agency PTI. The survey reveals a Rs 1.96 trillion or 51% increase in tax expenditure, despite the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government's removal of several exemptions in its previous budget. T by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Halle: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo he economic survey shows that tax concessions and exemptions continue to rise annually, despite multiple attempts to reduce them. These exemptions, established over time, are safeguarded under three separate tax laws. Sales tax exemptions reached Rs 4.3 trillion in the outgoing fiscal year, showing a 50% increase from Rs 2.9 trillion in the previous period. Income tax exemptions rose by 68% to Rs 801 billion from Rs 477 billion, whilst the government increased tax burden on salaried individuals but maintained exemptions for other sectors like retailers. Customs duty exemptions rose by Rs 243 billion or 45% to Rs 786 billion this fiscal year from Rs 543 billion previously, according to the report. The Rs 5.8 trillion in "tax expenditures for 2025" raises questions about the reliability of earlier reported losses, it added. The continuous growth in tax expenditures, despite governmental efforts to reduce them, suggests either the implementation of numerous undisclosed tax exemptions or underreporting of previous figures. The report says the sharp rise in tax exemption costs is not due to any major increase in economic activity.
