Zones to be covered under Atal tunnel planning area identified

All construction activity within the Atal Tunnel Planning Area will have to be undertaken in strict accordance with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (TCP) Act, 1977 to prevent unregulated growth.

Even though the Cabinet had given nod to constitute the Atal Tunnel Planning Area on May 3 it is now that the TCP Department has identified the zones where land use will be frozen once the notification in this regard is issued shortly.

The Town and Country Planning Department has identified the zones along the road and the Chanderbhaga river where land use will be frozen after the notification is issued to ensure that no buildings and structures come up which could hamper future expansion plans.
