Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
Article 243ZE of the Constitution (74th Amendment) requires a Metropolitan Planning Committee in every million-plus urban area (statement 1) and tasks it with preparing the draft development plan (statement 2). Implementation of government schemes is shared with various agencies, so statement 3 is incorrect. Thus only statements 1 and 2 are correct, option (a).
