Bhopal Master Plan 2047 Faces Objections Over Land Use and Agricultural Restrictions
The draft Bhopal Master Plan 2047 has faced significant opposition, with around 3,800 objections filed, including 2,000 in one day. Residents, farmers, and traders raised concerns over land-use classifications affecting 66 villages, road widening, commercialisation in residential areas, and restrictions in the Bhojtal Influence Zone. Farmers, led by Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, demanded a scientific survey of catchment areas and compensation for economic losses, rejecting Transferable Development Rights as compensation. Stakeholders seek transparent hearings and revisions before finalising the plan.
