Shimla, August 31
The Cabinet under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today approved the recommendations of a Cabinet sub-committee headed by the Jal Shakti Minister for the exclusion of some areas from the purview of the Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1977.
The subcommittee had recommended the exclusion of areas beyond 50 metres from the edge of control width on either side of the four-lane highways, 30 metres from the edge of control width on either side of national highways and 10 metres from the edge of control width on either side of state highways/ major district roads. The proposed exclusion is likely to benefit and provide long-desired relief to the residents of 21 planning areas and 15 special areas in the state.
