Haryana frames new policy for licenced colonies

PNS

Haryana Government has framed a policy for reorganisation of boundaries of licenced colonies through exchange of land among licences in a residential sector. A spokesman of Haryana Town and Country Planning Department said that this policy aims at prescribing detailed policy parameters to address such situations, wherein, the proposal for reorganisation of boundaries is primarily aimed at better planning of the sector or licenced colonies, without affecting any change in the net planned area of the various colonies.He said that thus, instead of treating the original boundary of a colony as fait-accompli, this policy would enable reorganisation of boundaries for better planning and more efficient use of scarce land resources without following the tedious process of de-licencing and re-licencing.
