Chandigarh Panel Recommends Impact Assessments Before Master Plan Amendments
A screening committee reviewing proposed amendments to Chandigarh's Master Plan-2031 has recommended comprehensive studies before implementation. These include seismic and disaster risk, traffic impact, infrastructure capacity, environmental assessment, parking, mobility, and heritage considerations. The panel was formed after public objections highlighted concerns about infrastructure stress and the lack of technical basis for densification proposals. The committee's recommendations aim to ensure that changes do not compromise the city's planned character or resilience, informing revisions to the draft plan.
