'Under this plan, according to MCD commissioner, a mere 507 plots have been allotted. There is an incredible gap there,' Arya said.

Commissioner K.S. Mehra, however, held that while only 507 plots had been allotted, 3,580 more plots were being planned.

Now the MCD has set up a committee of the complainants as well as leader of opposition J.K. Sharma to probe the matter further and submit a report in 10 to 15 days.

The MCD is also awaiting its standing committee's approval on a proposal to impose a fine of Rs.5,000-Rs.10,000 on cattle owners whose cows are found roaming on the streets.

Under the law, if an owner fails to take care of his cattle, he can face six months in jail or a fine of Rs.1,000 or both. The MCD imposes no fine to release the animal from the pound.

There have been incidents when some cows have attacked residents. Facing the court's wrath in many cases, the MCD has had to cough up over Rs.100,000 in compensation over the years.
