Shimla Development plan is flawed: Tekinder Panwar

Former Deputy Mayor of Shimla Tikendra Panwar has raised questions mark on the new development plan of Shimla.  He has called it is flawed being perceived as  copy paste plan of Chandigarh. Interacting media here today Mr Panwar  said that a letter has been written to CM Jai Ram Thakur and Chief Secretary in this matter.  It has been said through this letter that the development plan of Shimla is a copy paste plan.  Shimla City is not going to benefit from this.  The hill which is of small Shimla cannot be of the hill Bharari region.  The land holding capacity which is of one place in Shimla, may not necessarily be in another place of Shimla also.  It took a lot of effort to prepare this plan.  The plan formula of plain cannot work in the mountains. Former Deputy Mayor Tikendra Panwar said that Chandigarh’s smart city plan couldn’t work in hilly areas. “To whom this plan has been made to benefit, the matter is beyond comprehension. ” he pointed out.According to the Sustainable Development Goals, this smart city plan is absolutely wrong. What can be expected when the planner itself is sold to someone. No plan can be made without the participation of the people.
