MGP has been studying the Master Plan for Mysore Nanjangud Local Planning Area - 2031 prepared by MUDA. Though the Master Plan seeks to preserve the character of the city, its provisions as they stand now would actually lead to the opposite. If the present Master Plan is approved, the city centre would be further congested and this congestion could spread to other areas of the city which are now serene. Many provisions of the Master Plan will lead Mysore, a Heritage City, on the same path which Bengaluru, once a Garden city, has gone.
MGP has created a page on Facebook which explains the shortcomings of the Master Plan in detail and suggestions to overcome them. MGP requests the public of Mysore to go through this page and if convinced by arguments presented there, sign a e-petition here urging the government to make the necessary changes and not approve the Master Plan as it stands now.
