Under the Delhi Master Plan, the O-Zone covers the Yamuna floodplains, where construction is restricted to protect the river’s natural ecology, prevent flood risks and preserve green buffers. Any habitation in this zone is considered unauthorised.
The directions were issued in a recently held meeting by LG with DDA officials which discussed the rejuvenation and restoration of the Yamuna Bazar and its ghats near the Kashmere Gate area, officials added.
