Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday announced the scrapping of the revised Master Plan 2031 for Mysuru, which was pending approval by the State government, and announced that a new Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) would be drawn up soon.
Influence from real estate developers
Speaking after launching various development works in Narasimharaja Assembly Constituency at a function organised at Lidkar grounds on Azeez Sait Road in the city, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the Master Plan 2031, prepared a few years ago, would be set aside as it had been drawn up under the influence of real estate developers.
The Mysuru Master Plan 2031 had been unveiled in August 2012, but was yet to be notified by the State government in view of strong criticism.
The Mysuru Master Plan 2031 had proposed zoning of land use and development control regulations.
The new CDP, which will be unveiled after elaborate discussions with urban and legal experts, will keep in mind comprehensive development needs of the City. He said the revised CDP would also be in tune with the heritage and tourism destination status of Mysuru.
Mr. Siddaramaiah, who launched a series of developmental programmes in Narasimharaja Assembly Constituency at a cost of Rs. 43 crore on Tuesday, said he would ensure the all-round development of Mysuru by releasing sufficient funds for various works in all the constituencies of the city.
He lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for decreasing financial aid for centrally-sponsored programmes in different parts of the city.
The State covernment will, however, continue the programmes by spending Rs. 4,689 crore from its own funds, he added.
Mr. Siddaramaiah also said that the State government would take a decision on withdrawing cases against persons booked for communal clashes in Mysuru, after a Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to look into the matter submits its report.
