Work on 10 TP schemes has been initiated; civic body aims to complete all schemes in 3 years.
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has taken a step further to provide basic infrastructure in the new areas. To make this happen, AMC plans to prepare 44 new town panning (TP) schemes in different areas of Ahmedabad in next three years.
The work on 10 TP schemes has already started.
The town planning and estate management committee of AMC passed a proposal in the meeting held on Friday to submit a proposal of preparing 10 TP schemes, to the chief town planner of the state. In the first phase, the civic body plans to prepare 14 TP schemes, of which measurement of four TP schemes has already been complemented. The process for five TP schemes is going on and preparation for one has already been initiated.
Earlier, TP scheme no. 65 - Tragad-Jagatpur-Chenpur- Ranip-Chandlodia - was to be prepared by the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA). However, this will now be prepared by the AMC. The civic body has completed measurement process for TP schemes in Makarba, Chandkheda, Vejalpur-Gyaspur and Ramol. Moreover, the process for measurement of TP schemes in areas such as Sarkhej, Maktampura-Gyaspur, Jagatpur and Vastral is going on.
AMC also wants to cover other five areas: Vejalpur-Shahvadi-Gyaspur-Maktampur, Sarkhej-Okaf-Fatehvadi and Naroda under TP schemes in the first phase of planning. The next phase will cover areas such as Bhadaj, Shilaj, Bakrol, Kamod, Piplaj, Vanjhar, Lambha, Aslali, Vinzol, Vastral, Bilasiya, Sola, Bhadaj and Hebatpur to name a few.
Devchand Patel, chairman of AMC's town planning and estate management committee, said some of the areas were left out while preparing TP schemes and that needs to be covered for getting road access and providing basic amenities to people.
"We have proposed to the chief town planner to grant permission to prepare 10 TP schemes," said Patel.
Meanwhile, the committee postponed the decision on providing consultation to the town planner for four TP schemes - TP scheme no. 56 (Sola-Ognaj), TP scheme no. 111 (Nikol-Kathwada), TP scheme no. 76 (Hathijan-1) and TP scheme no. 103 (Nikol) - as the government has already approved drafts of these TP schemes.
The Congress had alleged favouritism in the revision of TP schemes. The opposition has alleged the ruling party of benefiting the developers.
"There is a vast difference in area of reserve plots indicated in draft TP scheme and revised TP scheme, which is why it should not be approved without having a proper look into the matter," said Badruddin Shaikh, leader of opposition in AMC.
