RCI-DRDL link road to become restricted zone
A few days ago, the HMDA issued a public notice to designate the area around the two defence establishments as RDZ.
The RCI-DRDL link road will be 120 m wide and areas up to 1,500 m on either side will be RDZ.
Hence for security reasons, only residential constructions having ground plus one floor, not exceeding six metres would be permitted.
HMDA officials said the RCI-DRDL link road was designated as RDZ on request of the RCI director and proposals were forwarded to the government.
The government issued the Draft Variation to HMDA through a memo last year.
The proposed 45 m of the link road in the Revised Master Plan is now going to be 120 m, including 12 m service roads on either side.
The area within 1,500 m of either side of the road, presently marked as residential and institutional zone will become a restricted area.
A copy of the memo is displayed at the HMDA office in Tarnaka. People having any objections or suggestions to the notice should address them to the principal secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) department within 15 days.
