Majority of the land will go for houses, roads and green cover. The farmers will get back 12002.54 acres as their share of land pooling. The document has all the details of land allocations for residences, roads, universities, hotels, theme parks, high speed rail, hospitals, industries, sports stadiums, water bodies, golf courses etc.

The de-notification request for the forests is pending with Union Forests and Environment ministry. Recently the concerned minister, Prakash Javadekar promised early clearance of the file. For the forests that are going to be cleared, the state government will have to give similar quantity of land in some other area to improve green cover.
