The suspension will apply to all proposals for subdivision and amalgamation of land, change of user as well as the extension of use that are yet to be registered under the Land Registration Act, 2012.

Will the new plan prohibit flats, idle land, type of land use?
let's wait and see, but if you have land and was about to start the construction/development process (even if the plans had been approved), you will have to wait for at least 3 months for the plan to be finalized and extra time for your plans to be vetted and approved.
