As President of Indian Blacksmiths Guild, SarbaJit Roy is very concerned about Blacksmith's Fundamental Rights. See Objection No. 132 at the end.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
63. Milk Cream Separation.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Inclusion of specific text such as this concerning permitting industries to continue functioning within or near residential / non-conforming areas without heed to fundamental rights of lawful residents, is against mandate of DDA to prepare Master Plans. I say that the impugned text makes scant logical sense, and needs to be redrafted with considerable care and attention. There does not seem to have been application of mind in its drafting. I submit furthermore that although this text may appear to be routine, it has deep ramifications and the potential to vitiate the planned and orderly development of Delhi. Also, there is no lawful basis for inclusion of this text in Master Plan, since it represents a departure from DDA's mandate and is objectionble. The proposed text distorts and skews development activity and is in conflict with specific provisions of NCR Plans (including draft Plans). I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning such matters, and hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of those laws. As the sole development authority entrusted with acquisition, development and disposal of land within Delhi, DDA cannot misuse its monopoly in such blatantly unConstitutional fashion, by inclusion of text such as this.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
64. Manufacture of Jute products.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I say that the impugned text is most arbitrary and high-handed. That furthermore the impugned text has no basis in planning rationale. Any analysis of this text would immediately reveals its gross defects that would render the Master Plan itself meaningless. I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning such matters, and hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of those laws. I submit that this text needs to be redrafted to address my concerns especially concerning spatial planning aspects and preservation of fundamental rights of residents of Delhi. In addition I say that this impugned text suffers from a bad scientific foundation as the data and assumptions upon which it is based are shaky and from dubious sources. Jute Manufacture is highly polluting and water intensive.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
65. Manufacture of Bindi. 66. Name plate making.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I say that this impugned text is drafted without due application of mind and without care to the reckless consequences that are bound to flow therefrom. There is no data or basis for inclusion of this text in MPD-2021. I am again so shocked that any text such as this could be incorporated in any scientific or technical document like a Master Plan, that I must question the bonafides (nay malafides) of the persons behind this objectionable drafting. It appears that this inequituous text has been included to pander to vested interests, and perpetuate the illegal activitities which DDA (and especially the numerous corrupt persons within DDA) is so infamous for. The inclusion of this text in Master Plan after 2 decades of time for preparation is once again conclusive evidence of the Master Plan fraud which DDA is again trying to play on the public. Also since there are no effective mechanisms for enforcement of such easily bypassed / misused clauses, I oppose inclusion of this text till such time as effective deterrents exist.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
67. Production of following items. (i) Blanco cakes (ii) Brushes (iii) Kulfi and confectionery. (iv) Crayons. (v) Jam, jellies and fruit preserves. (vi) Musical instruments (including repairs). (vii) Lace work and like.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Inclusion of specific text such as this concerning permitting industries to continue functioning within or near residential / non-conforming areas without heed to fundamental rights of lawful residents, is against mandate of DDA to prepare Master Plans. I object that the impugned text makes a mockery of the planned development of Delhi, and is against the letter and spirit of the DDA Act. Delhi Development Act requires a holistic survey basis for Plan preparation and the statutory Plan requires a holistic monitoring basis for Plan modification. The Draft MPD-2021 admits that there is no holistic monitoring institution /mechanism in place. Furthermore there is nothing in the Draft MPD-2021 to show that inclusion of this particular and specific impugned text has been done after complete and due procedures have been followed. Powers to modify the Plan cannot be misused in this casual fashion.I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered or deleted. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning such matters, and hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of those laws.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
(viii) Ornamental leather goods like purses, hand bags.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: This kind of specific text is included without application of mind, has no scientific basis, and infringes upon the Fundamental Right under Article 19 of citizens (especially technocrats, and industrialists to carry out their business and profession in proximity to their homes. There are several relevant Judgements of Supreme Court concerning this which seem to have been deliberately ignored by DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
(ix) Small electronic components.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The scientific data and foundations upon which this inclusion is made, is obsolete and false, and there is no scientific or legal basis for such specific text to be included in MPD-2021. Master Plan is only concerned with laying the guidelines and framework for development of Delhi, and inclusion of specific text of this nature at Master Plan hierarchial level is highly objectionable, as it subverts the hierarchial planning process. What is a small electronic component ? electronic components are made in huge and complex factories, the junior stenos are at work again here.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
68. Paper stationery items and book binding. 69. Pith hat, garlands of flowers and pitch.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The inclusion of this kind of specific text is well outside the mandate of Master Plan, which is a broad policy framework. The inclusion of specific text of this nature into the MPD-2021 leads cause suspicion that vested interests still hold sway over DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
70. P.V.C. products (with one moulding machine).
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The text I have impugned above is clearly designed for political reasons alone, and as such is absolutely against the Constitution and also letter and spirit of the laws of India (passed by Parliament) concerning the planned development of Delhi. Not only is this text contrary to DDA's statutory mandate, but this text seeks to subvert and obfuscate or dilute the better Master Plan provisions already in place. This is regressive and highly objectionable. There is no place for such arbitrary and discriminatory text in MPD-2021 which perpetuates inequities and imbalances in industrial faciities for vast sections of society.Furthermore, this kind of specific text encourages and perpetuates irregular activities beyond infrastructure carrying capacity of Delhi. I say that all the attempts to cover up the past failures of DDA / MoUD for planned development of Delhi by inclusion of such malafide and disastrous text as the text I have impugned, will not work. What is required instead is a new and comprehensive and balanced approach to planned development for Delhi, which corrupt, incompetent and fossilised bodies like DDA cannot concieve of, leave alone deliver upon. I must again submit that this impugned text needs to be completely deleted, or redrafted substantially so as to completely address my concerns. All plastic processing and moulding must be prohibited. The Apex Court has already said that plastic processing is polluting activity.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
71. Paper machine.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I am aggrieved by this anti-Delhi and discriminatory impugned text, and I hereby put DDA on NOTICE that I shall certainly challenge the vires of this pathetic drafting on the touchstone of the Constitution of India. This text is but another example of DDA's high-handed tendency to misuse procedural powers in pursuit of unplanned industrial development, rather than judiciously excercising its responsibility of Plan implementation in furtherance of the purpose for which DDA was set up. I say again that this impugned text is but another small example of DDA's illegal practice of legitimising its past misdeeds and failures. Text of this specific nature would not otherwise be included in any Plan document, except to cover up and legitimise past illegalities or favour special interests. I say that my study of the Constitution and Judgements of the Supreme Court concerning like industrial matters, causes me to oppose the inclusion of this impugned text as it stands into MPD-2021. As the sole development authority entrusted with acquisition, development and disposal of land within Delhi, DDA cannot misuse its monopoly in such blatantly unConstitutional fashion, by inclusion of text such as this. Such matters have already been contemplated / covered in the Regional Plan, hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to contain text of such nature. Hence also, I again hereby give NOTICE to DDA, to delete this text entirely, or alter it substantially as I find this text to be objectionable. What is paper machine ?
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
72. Perfumery and cosmetics 73. Photosetting. 74. Photostat and cyclostyling. 75. Photo copying of drawings including enlargement of drawings and designs. 76. Packaging of Shampoos. 77. Packaging of Hair Oil.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I fail to understand how has this text can be included in any legislation of India. It is poorly drafted, ambiguous, and is open to misuse. This impugned text while adversely affecting other Plan provisions, is also violative of numerous Judgements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, and will jeopardise the proper planned development of Delhi, whilst legitimising all kinds of illegal and irregular industrial activities. Once again I must question how text such as this keeps finding its way into Plan documents. Are there any special interests being served by inclusion of such anti-public text? I must say YES! Is the inclusion of this specific impugned text as per mandate of DDA as per section 7 of DDA ACT? I must say NO - for I find no supporting basis for inclusion of this obnoxious text in the DDA ACT which permits this.Surely this text is against the proper development of Delhi, and I oppose the inclusion of this text, and all such similarly objectionable text into MPD-2021, which this chapter of Draft MPD-2021 is littered with. There is no place in MPD-2021 for such text by which DDA continues to misuse its monopoly over land in Delhi. Manufacturing of blue-prints using ammonia should be banned.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
79. Processing of condiments, spices, groundnuts and dal etc.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I say that the impugned text makes scant logical sense, and needs to be redrafted with considerable care and attention. There does not seem to have been application of mind in its drafting. I submit furthermore that although this text may appear to be routine, it has deep ramifications and the potential to vitiate the planned and orderly development of Delhi. Also, there is no lawful basis for inclusion of this text in Master Plan, since it represents a departure from DDA's mandate and is objectionble. The proposed text distorts and skews development activity and is in conflict with specific provisions of NCR Plans (including draft Plans). I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered.

As the sole development authority entrusted with acquisition, development and disposal of land within Delhi, DDA cannot misuse its monopoly in such blatantly unConstitutional fashion, by inclusion of text such as this.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
80. Pan masala.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: It is very clear that a primary purpose of this impugned text is to allow Industries to illegally continue to operate within Delhi, despite Supreme Court orders and Constitutional provisions banning this. I say that the impugned text is most arbitrary and high-handed. That furthermore the impugned text has no basis in planning rationale. Any analysis of this text would immediately reveals its gross defects that would render the Master Plan itself meaningless. I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning such matters, and hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of those laws. I submit that this text needs to be redrafted to address my concerns especially concerning spatial planning aspects and preservation of fundamental rights of residents of Delhi. In addition I say that this impugned text suffers from a bad scientific foundation as the data and assumptions upon which it is based are shaky and from dubious sources. Pan Masala is in hands of mafia and criminals, plus being dangerous to health, why is it included?
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
81. Production of Sweets and namkeens.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The scientific data and foundations upon which this inclusion is made, is obsolete and false, and there is no scientific or legal basis for such specific text to be included in MPD-2021. Master Plan is only concerned with laying the guidelines and framework for development of Delhi, and inclusion of specific text of this nature at Master Plan hierarchial level is highly objectionable, as it subverts the hierarchial planning process. These are polluting activities, but the halwais of Delhi must have contributed heavily to get such text inserted.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
82. Paper Mache
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I object that the impugned text makes a mockery of the planned development of Delhi, and is against the letter and spirit of the DDA Act. Delhi Development Act requires a holistic survey basis for Plan preparation and the statutory Plan requires a holistic monitoring basis for Plan modification. The Draft MPD-2021 admits that there is no holistic monitoring institution /mechanism in place. Furthermore there is nothing in the Draft MPD-2021 to show that inclusion of this particular and specific impugned text has been done after complete and due procedures have been followed. Powers to modify the Plan cannot be misused in this casual fashion.I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered or deleted. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning such matters, and hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of those laws. What is Paper Mache ? Obviously the junior stenos cant spell.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
83. Paper cup. Plates, files cover and letter pads (without printing).
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: This kind of specific text is included without application of mind, has no scientific basis, and infringes upon the Fundamental Right under Article 19 of citizens (especially technocrats, and industrialists to carry out their business and profession in proximity to their homes. There are several relevant Judgements of Supreme Court concerning this which seem to have been deliberately ignored by DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
84. Photography (developing and printing).
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The scientific data and foundations upon which this inclusion is made, is obsolete and false, and there is no scientific or legal basis for such specific text to be included in MPD-2021. Master Plan is only concerned with laying the guidelines and framework for development of Delhi, and inclusion of specific text of this nature at Master Plan hierarchial level is highly objectionable, as it subverts the hierarchial planning process. Polluting activity using chemicals.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
87. Repair of domestic electrical appliances. 88. Readymade garments. 89. Repair of bicycles.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I object that the text I have impugned above is an affront to all planners and professional persons, and thoroughly exposes the DDA (or whoever has drafted this shoddy and discriminatory text) to be incompetent and/or corrupt persons. I further say that this malafide text is at the cost of the public, is against the public interest and is objectionable on Constitutional grounds also. I question the composition / competence of the persons who have drafted this text. Is this impugned text in the public interest ? I say it is NOT! Does this impugned text preserve and protect the numerous Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution ? Again I must say NO! How then can such questionable text be considered as neccessary for inclusion in the MPD-2021? There is no basis for such half-baked and subversive text pandering to vested interests to be included in MPD-2021. I require and demand to know how this text has found its way into any proposed Plan document, and I hereby put DDA on notice to inform me of the same. I submit that this inequituous impugned text needs to be completely redrafted or deleted altogether, so as to address my concerns.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
90. Repair and assembly of computer hardware.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Computer Hardware repair and Assembly is very good, and must be included as a permissible household industry.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
91. Repair of bags, brief cases, suitcases, except use of leather and PVC material. 92. Repairing of Water meters, stabilizer, UPS, etc.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: There is no scientific or legal basis for such specific text to be included in MPD-2021. Master Plan is only concerned with laying the guidelines and framework for development of Delhi, and inclusion of specific text of this nature at Master Plan hierarchial level is highly objectionable, as it subverts the hierarchial planning process.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
93. Repair of electronic goods.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: This item is very good and I support this item - repair of electronic goods.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
94. Rubber Stamps.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Inclusion of specific text such as this concerning permitting industries to continue functioning within or near residential / non-conforming areas without heed to fundamental rights of lawful residents, is against mandate of DDA to prepare Master Plans. I say that the impugned text makes scant logical sense, and needs to be redrafted with considerable care and attention. There does not seem to have been application of mind in its drafting.

I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
95. Repair of Scooters. 96. Stone engraving. 97. Sports goods.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I say that the impugned text is most arbitrary and high-handed. That furthermore the impugned text has no basis in planning rationale. Any analysis of this text would immediately reveals its gross defects that would render the Master Plan itself meaningless. I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered.

Stone engraving is polluting activity.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
99. Stove pipe, safety pins and aluminium buttons (by hand press). 100. Silver foil making. 101. Saree fall making. 102. Shoe laces. 103. Sport nets. 104. Stamp pads.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: I say that this impugned text is drafted without due application of mind and without care to the reckless consequences that are bound to flow therefrom. There is no data or basis for inclusion of this text in MPD-2021. I am again so shocked that any text such as this could be incorporated in any scientific or technical document like a Master Plan, that I must question the bonafides (nay malafides) of the persons behind this objectionable drafting.

I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
105. Screen Printing.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Screen Printing is polluting activity.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
106. Tailoring. 107. Thread balls and cotton fillings. 108. Toys and dolls. 109. Ties.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: It is very clear that a primary purpose of this impugned text is to allow Industries to illegally continue to operate within Delhi, despite Supreme Court orders and Constitutional provisions banning this. I say that this objectionable and impugned text violates numerous Fundamental Rights of the populace of Delhi, and as such is highly unConstitutional. I further say that this text is a transparent device to disobey the judicial process and to frustrate the numerous litigations pending against DDA in the Courts. The guidelines illegally published / leaked by DDA concerning this aspect have allowed all sorts of illegal and irregular building, construction and encroachments to take place in anticipation of these particular clauses in Master Plan. Furthermore, there are already substantive provisions in other laws of India concerning like issues and numerous Courts have ruled on these issues, so where is the need for MPD-2021 to deprive and restrict the residents of Delhi from the better protections of other laws? Hence also I say that inclusion of this text or any similar discriminatory text in Master Plan is a fraud on the public (and lawful residents of Delhi) by DDA / MoUD, and is objectionable. As the sole development authority entrusted with acquisition, development and disposal of land within Delhi, DDA cannot misuse its monopoly in such blatantly unConstitutional fashion, by inclusion of text such as this. I submit that this text need to deleted in-toto or altered greatly.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
110. Tomato Ketchup.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The scientific data and foundations upon which this inclusion is made, is obsolete and false, and there is no scientific or legal basis for such specific text to be included in MPD-2021. Master Plan is only concerned with laying the guidelines and framework for development of Delhi, and inclusion of specific text of this nature at Master Plan hierarchial level is highly objectionable, as it subverts the hierarchial planning process. Why tomato ketchup, and not tomato sauce ?
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
111. Umbrella assembly. 112. Utensil washing powder (only mixing and packaging). 113. Velvet embroidered shoes/shawls.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The inclusion of this kind of specific text is well outside the mandate of Master Plan, which is a broad policy framework. The inclusion of specific text of this nature into the MPD-2021 leads cause suspicion that vested interests still hold sway over DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
114. Vermicelli and macaroni.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: This text is very good and I supprt its inclusion. It is perhaps coincidental that the Minister of Urban Development Mr. Azad is very close to Chairperson of UPA who eats lots of Italian products. Again why is such specifc text being incorparted in Master Plan when it is unconnected with development.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
115. Wood carving and decorative wood wares. 116. Wool balling and lachee making. 117. Wooden/cardboard jewellery boxes (subject to no objection certificate from the department).
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: Certainly, there is no objection to industries running lawfully, but poorly drafted and random text such as I have impugned, must not find its way into MPD-2021. Little attention has been paid to the issue of diversion of scarce physical / natural resources and utilities which are being diverted to industries at cost of residents of Delhi.I am aggrieved by this anti-Delhi and discriminatory impugned text, and I hereby put DDA on NOTICE that I shall certainly challenge the vires of this pathetic drafting on the touchstone of the Constitution of India. This text is but another example of DDA's high-handed tendency to misuse procedural powers in pursuit of unplanned industrial development, rather than judiciously excercising its responsibility of Plan implementation in furtherance of the purpose for which DDA was set up.

As the sole development authority entrusted with acquisition, development and disposal of land within Delhi, DDA cannot misuse its monopoly in such blatantly unConstitutional fashion, by inclusion of text such as this. Such matters have already been contemplated / covered in the Regional Plan, hence there is no need for MPD-2021 to contain text of such nature. Hence also, I again hereby give NOTICE to DDA, to delete this text entirely, or alter it substantially as I find this text to be objectionable. I find words like "Wool balling" to be hilarious. Which department must NOC be obtained from ?
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
118. Wool knitting (with machine).
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The inclusion of this kind of specific text is well outside the mandate of Master Plan, which is a broad policy framework. The inclusion of specific text of this nature into the MPD-2021 leads cause suspicion that vested interests still hold sway over DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
119. Zari Zardozi.
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: The inclusion of this kind of specific text is well outside the mandate of Master Plan, which is a broad policy framework. The inclusion of specific text of this nature into the MPD-2021 leads cause suspicion that vested interests still hold sway over DDA.
I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
GROUP A - 1 HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRIES IN VILLAGES (ABADI) IN GREEN BELT
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: It is very clear that a primary purpose of this impugned text is to allow Industries to illegally continue to operate within Delhi, despite Supreme Court orders and Constitutional provisions banning this. I say that the impugned text is most arbitrary and high-handed. That furthermore the impugned text has no basis in planning rationale. Any analysis of this text would immediately reveals its gross defects that would render the Master Plan itself meaningless. I again say that there is no place for such arbitrary and discretionary clauses in MPD-2021, and hence this text needs to be reconsidered.

I object to the inclusion of the following text in the Master Plan for Delhi 2021:-
120. Black smithy
SUMMARY OF GROUNDS: As the Honorary President of Indian Master Blacksmiths Guild, I say blacksmithy is a very noble profession, which builds character, and hence must be allowed everywhere within Delhi. Blacksmiths are not inferior to Lawyers and Doctors in the discharge of our noble profession, and we will challenge the vires of every clause which restricts our Fundamental Rights under article 19 of the Constitution.
