The Coimbatore district administration has submitted a draft Master Plan to the Tamil Nadu government.
The government had asked for the draft Plan by the end of September. District Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati told The Hindu that the draft Plan was submitted to the government and public comments will be sought on it after getting the government’s approval.
Rajesh Lund, vice president of The Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore, said the draft should be published at the earliest so that land owners get to know details of their sites. The process should go on without any delay. A lot of people are individually approaching the government now for land reclassification. The government should get feedback from the public, incorporate all the proposed infrastructure works - metro rail and flyovers - apart from the changes suggested by the public and finalise it. “It should be a broad based work and a comprehensive plan,” he said.
