The HUDA Master Plan for sustainable development -2020 for an anticipated population of around 136 lakhs was notified on Jan.14., for inviting suggestions for improvement and registering objections. The public can respond with their suggestions and objections within a month, till February-end. After that the suggestions and objections would be looked into by the Government and it would be approved with required modifications wherever necessary. The copies of the bulky document with well researched data, maps, charts, graphs and proposed land use map 2020 besides regulations and exhaustive information on geographical dimensions and components of HUDA area, would be put on display hall of HUDA where public could come and go through them. The officials would explain the land use maps. The document priced at Rs.300, its cost price, would also be sold at HUDA office, in some book stores, besides HUDA and municipalities for sale. The documents with well researched and valuable data would also be available in leading libraries to enable people go through it. The revised master plan was also being put on website- www.hudahyd.org with its salient features and 47 pages of regulations which could be downloaded. ''It is for the people now to register their opinion, for or against the regulations for a good feature to stay and bad feature to be eliminated'', says an official. The HUDA Vice-Chairperson, Lakshmi Parthasarathy, said that an elaborate exercise had been taken up for preparing the draft and suggestions had been invited from the local bodies- 10 municipalities and 125 gram panchayats, various departments, expert agencies and they were taken into consideration while preparing the draft document. A master plan is all about providing a good road network, link roads to all municipalities, so that every section would have a proper communication network. The masterplan suggested good road network from municipalities to city, road over bridges, flyovers wherever necessary. The significant features include designating a large number of sites spread over the entire metro area as Multiple Use Zone in which except industry any other use is permitted, every tank and water body to have at least 30 metre buffer green belts, all recreation and greenery projects are shown as Open Space Zones which would not be allowed to tampered with. The polluting and hazardous industries located amidst or in the vicinity of residential zones and even old industrial estates were indicated as multiple use zone so that owners could use those lands for residential, commercial or any other profitable use and consider shifting the industries to areas away from the city. Commercial uses were proposed along major routes abutting national highways subject to service roads and deep setbacks. The draft of revised plan for the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad would be ready in a month, she said.
