BMC to organise subject-wise Development Plan decoding sessions
With the cut-off date for submission of suggestions and objections on the draft development plan 2034 nearing, the BMC has decided to carry out subject-wise sessions on different aspects of the DP for the citizens. The sessions are likely to start this month-end and will go on for 10 to 15 days.
With the cut-off date for submission of suggestions and objections on the draft development plan 2034 nearing, the BMC has decided to carry out subject-wise sessions on different aspects of the DP for the citizens. The sessions are likely to start this month-end and will go on for 10 to 15 days.
Municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte said, "We are in the process of finalising the schedule of the programme. DP is a complex subject and people should understand it well. So, we will organise sessions on individual subjects and invite citizens."
BMC had recently organised a session to decode the DP, in which several urban planners, experts, activists and citizens were invited. However, the session was not very successful, as the entire DP could not be discussed in a single session. Varying views on the subject from different corners created further confusion.
A senior civic official said, "There will be separate sessions on the Aarey Colony development, variable FSI, TDR issue, affordable housing and so on, so that each subject gets enough time."
