A notice issued by VC JDA dated 07.10.2020 for filing representation by public by 22nd October is not as per J&K Development Act of 1970 & development rules of 1976.
Simultaneously with the prepration of Master Plan as soon as may be thereafter, the authority shall proceed with prepration of Zonal Development for each of the zones into which a local area may divided & shall propose a date or dates from which the developmental plan of each zone shall applicable.
It means that Master Plan as such cannot be imlemented & it has to be implemented through Zonal Developmen plan as a Zonal Developmental Plan indicates all the minor details i.e. land use, width of road, building bye laws etc etc so the implementation of Master Plan as it is being implemented in the building permissions cases & no other aspect of the Master Plan is being taken for development.
Not even a single road as proposed in the Master Plan in the Hierarchy of 12 Metre to 90 Metre has been taken by the development Authority or any other agency.
How the building activities can be regulated in the absence of provision of these roads as most of the activities i.e. Commercial, Institutions, Residendial Colonies Group Housing are proposed on the particular width of road & no road is available anywhere within the Master Plan, where peoples can go for such kind of development.
As per details with Cross Town News that under Chapter-3 u/s 7, the development Authority has to prepare a Master Plan as per details given in 7.1,7.2.7.3.
