Another black mark on Mysore Master Plan

It has been reported in the media that there is not enough room in the Attarah Kacheri building which houses the DC's Office and other offices and efforts to locate a site suitable for constructing a latger building have failed.

Till recently, extensive discussions were being held about the Mysore Master Plan which was proposed by MUDA in 2012. Since DC is the highest government official in the district, many of these discussions must have taken place in the DC's Office. Did the lack of space not occur to anyone then? Because, there is no mention of it in the Master Plan.

Similarly, the Master Plan has many other shortcomings. It has no solutions to self-evident problems, and if by chance it proposes solutions, they tend to worsen the problem. MGP has drawn the attention of both the government and the public to this issue several times, but to no avail.
