Auda announces 14 new town planning schemes in Gujarat

After clearing 10 new Town Planning (TP) schemes of Ahmedabad recently, the state government is planning to announce more new TPs for Ahmedabad. The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) has submitted primary proposals for around 14 new town planning schemes for various developing areas of the state.

The new schemes are: Sarkhej-Ofal-Fathewadi (86 to 90), Chandkheda-Tragad-Jundal (69), Makarba (84-B), Tragad (233), Chandkheda-Jundal (74), Vejalpur (3-varied), Kalol-Saij-Aarsolia (3), Koteshwar (Motera-48), Jundal (234), Charodi-Tragad (36), Tragad-Jagatpur-Chandkheda (65) and Chainpur-Ranip.

Highly placed sources in the state government said that, “actually these TPs were pending for a very long time. The state assembly promissory committee had asked the state government to clear these TPs at the earliest. They will stimulate the real estate development in the city.’’

Government had announced preliminary drafts TP No. 39 of Thaltej, No. 239  of  Bhat and No. 94 of Hathijan-Ropada. There is high growth of residential and commercial property development in these areas. Highly placed sources in the state government said  that, “many premium residential and commercial projects like malls and corporate offices are coming up in these areas.”

These places are becoming trendy in the middle income group. TPs will help in regulation and systematic development of these areas. Government will soon appoint (Town Planning Officers (TPOs) for these schemes with whom concerned people can file their grievances and share their ideas.”
