By Staff Correspondent

DIBRUGARH, Oct 9 - The district administration on Thursday organised a stakeholders� meeting to discuss issues related to preparation of a GIS-based Master Plan-2045 for Dibrugarh under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation.

The meeting was organised at the local DC office here. The meeting discussed various issues, requirements and potential related to preparation of the Dibrugarh Master Plan-2045, a release stated.

At the very beginning, the representatives of �Nektor Engineers & Project Consultants�, which has been entrusted with the task of preparing the Dibrugarh Master Plan-2045, informed the meeting about the progress of master plan, that is being prepared keeping in view the possible population growth, changes in demography, road connectivity, residential, commercial and industrial area expansion and other aspects of development till 2045. They also informed the meeting about the support they require, such as information and data from other government departments to complete the Master Plan, which would cover an area of 401 square kilometres of Dibrugarh town and adjacent areas.

The local DC asked Nektor Engineers & Project Consultants to prepare the Master Plan keeping in view all the possible changes that might happen in next 25 years and to keep scope for modification and inclusion in the future. He also directed the agency to create a mechanism through which stakeholders like government departments can get in touch with their ideas anytime. He further directed the agency to make clear-cut demarcation of green belts, structural and non-structural zones, housing and non-housing zones in the master plan. The agency was also asked to prepare the master plan keeping in view the fact that Dibrugarh and its surrounding areas has several vital installations like the Dibrugarh Airport and other installations of police, paramilitary forces and Indian Army and the restrictions associated with those areas.

Stress was also laid on the need to organise five to six rounds of discussions with the people living in the projected area for the Master Plan and take their views, within one month, so that same can be incorporated in the Plan. The meeting was also attended by the local district administration officials.
