A proposal for inclusion of Mathura, Saharanpur, Aligarh and Bijnor districts of Uttar Pradesh in the National Capital Region (NCR) has been received by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the Lok Sabha was informed on Tuesday.
In a written reply to a question asked by BJP MPs Sumedhanand Saraswati and Santosh Ahlawat, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that no other proposal has been received for inclusion in NCR from any state government by the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB).
"The proposal for inclusion of Mathura, Saharanpur, Aligarh and Bijnor districts of Uttar Pradesh in NCR has been received. No other proposal, including that of Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, has been received for inclusion in NCR from any state government by NCRPB," Puri informed the House in a written reply.
