Govt Scraps Bhopal Master Plan 2031: Make Fresh Master Plan For 2047 By Year End, T&CP Directorate Told
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): State urban development and housing department has asked the directorate of Town and Country Planning (T&CP) to prepare a fresh plan, projecting the needs of the city in 2047. The state government issued an order to this effect on February 29. Saying that there was not much time left for its execution, the state government has scrapped the Master Plan for Bhopal.
A draft of Bhopal Development Plan 2031 was submitted by the directorate to the department on February 2, 2021, for government's approval. Before that, the draft plan was published on July 10, 2020, that invited suggestions and objections from the public. The process dragged on and the proposed changes were published on June 2, 2023. The final publication was yet to come.
On February 29, the Urban Development and Housing Department wrote to Commissioner-cum-Director of T&CP saying that more than three-and-a-half-years had elapsed since the publication of the draft plan but the final publication was still pending. It said that as enough time was not available for execution of the plan, hence, it has been decided to scrap it. The process is terminated forthwith, it said. The department also asked directorate to take into account the proposals outlined by Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology, Ahemedabad, in its report submitted earlier.
