New Delhi, January 4

The national Capital would get a new diplomatic enclave after the government today approved the transfer of 34.87 hectare land in Sector 24, Dwarka, from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to Land and Development Office (L&DO) for the purpose of second such enclave in the city.

The approval came at the meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had expressed the need for more land for allotment to diplomatic missions/ international organizations for building their chanceries/ embassies in Delhi, especially after the number of countries has grown over the past few years.

For this, the DDA has earmarked 34.87 hectare land in Sector 24, Dwarka, which will be transferred to L&DO. This will provide land for the second diplomatic enclave in the Capital.

Currently, there is one Diplomatic Enclave in Chanakyapuri where land has been allotted to the embassies by L&DO.
