The new committee set by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for reviewing the graft development plan for Mumbai found some major errors and loopholes, which needed to be rectified. On the basis of further committee report a final decision on whether to scrap the plan would be taken.
Fadnavis, said, “The three member committee headed by Chief Secretary Swadheen Kshatriya has observed some major errors in the blue-print. They will again fully view the plan and take a decision within 15 to 20 days. The government is open-ended on the matter.”
The CM said in the state legislature assembly, “The draft development plan has errors in the land use maps. The plan has not completely taken the heritage list of 1995 into consideration. While classifying ‘no-development zone’ for residential purposes, the DP has not kept sufficient reservation for public services.”
He added, “Prima facie, the appointment of the consultant and the changes therein has been done following all due process in accordance with the law.”
The CM also said that a detailed discussion was necessary before reserving vacant spaces in Aarey Colony for various purposes. With regard to landmark sites such as Haji Ali, Jehangir Art Gallery, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalay, Fadnavis said there were serious drafting errors while indicating reservations and also complaints about road widening.
He pointed out that, “There are reservations shown even on land where the BMC itself has given permission for development.” Besides, information provided by the civic body and data from sources also showed many shortcomings, the chief minister added.
