Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday gave in-principle approval to the master plan for the development of Banur as an industrial hub and directed the Country and Town Planning Department to immediately make necessary amendments for time-bound completion of the project.
Capt Amarinder, chairing the 37th meeting of Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Board, underlined the importance of the move to boost the region’s industrial development in the light of the pro-investment environment in the state, backed by the policies and incentives announced by his government.
The Chief Minister also gave approval to effect amendments in the development control regulations, thus acceding to the demand of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) Punjab regarding calculation of saleable area of EWS sites and alignment of Zonal roads for connectivity of sector/inter sector roads in various master plans.
In another important step, the Chief Minister also gave go-ahead to make amendments in the unified Zoning Regulations and Development Controls for Master Plans to ensure planned and holistic urban development in the state.
It was also decided in the meeting to allow warehousing of all commodities in the agricultural zone of the notified plan, for which objections would be invited from the general public before the final notification of the Master Plan.
