Notification withdrawing Regional Plan issued

NT Staff Reporter
Panaji, Feb 7 The state government today issued notification withdrawing the revised Regional Plan 2011 with retrospective effect from August 10, 2006, the date it was notified in the state gazette.

Earlier, the government had amended the Town and Country Planning Act by promulgating an ordinance, providing for withdrawal of regional Plan with retrospective or prospective effect.

The ordinance came into the effect from the date it was promulgated by the Governor, Mr S C Jamir, paving way for issue of notification. The government has added a new Section (Section 17 C) to the T&CP Act. The new Section provides that the government was of the opinion that revised Regional Plan was required to be withdrawn and that it may direct the chief town planner to withdraw the operation of the revised regional plan from a date, either prospective or retrospective as it deemed fit.

The new Section also allows the government to withdraw the plan in its entirety or in part, as the case may be. It further allows the government to undertake the revision of the regional plan as existing immediately before the revised regional plan in its entirety or in part, as the case may be, and thereupon the foregoing provisions of the Act relating to the preparation of the regional plan.

The Act also provides that the chief town planner should withdraw the operation of the revised regional plan from the date as directed by the government, in entirety or in part, as the case may be, by publication of a notification in the official gazette and in two local newspapers.

The Amendment further provides that on and from the date of withdrawal of the revised regional all development programmes undertaken by any department of the government or by public and private institutions or by any other person shall conform to the provisions of the existing regional plan.
