In an open letter to the Chief Minister, Executive Trustee of CIVIC Kathyayini Chamaraj points out why the planning process being followed for the city goes grossly against the 74th Constitutional Amendment and what needs to be corrected for the exercise to have an impact.
There was no ownership of RMP 2015= and its implementation by BDA. Citizens to be involved at all stages of the planning process and not merely at the final draft stage, feel citizens at a workshop on the Revised Master Plan.
A review committee led by Dr A Ravindra has recommended major revisions to the city’s Revised Master Plan 2015, with many changes proposed in critical zoning rules. Will the government accept?
The town planning department has wrongly greenlighted a convention centre near Bannerghatta Road. Residents angered over this and other plan violations in the area.
The BDA’s intentions of implementing its own plans for Bangalore, overriding the BMRDA and ignoring expert committee recommendations and public sentiment, ran afoul of alert citizens.
