MYSORE: The Mysore Urban Development Authority (Muda) released the 'Master Plan 2031' here on Monday.The draft proposals, which have been approved by the urban development department on August 1, are now published by Muda allotting 60 days for stakeholders to file suggestions and objections.

The tier-II city made the plan keeping in mind that population may double in 2031 from 13 lakh as of now. According to district minister S A Ramdas, who released the document, the government will implement the Master Plan 2031 within 90 days.

"There are violations like the floor area ratio (FAR) and change of land use. The Master Plan 2031 will put an end to it. We'll be strict in implementing it like how they do at Chandigarh," he said. The PRR is proposed near the airport and the convention centre so that the visitors can have easy access, sources told TOI.

"It will cut down traffic density in the city too. The film city is proposed to be developed near the airport too so that tourists can access it without much fuss," they said. The PRR will be developed using the road network that exists now and connecting the missing links.

Top priority is accorded to conserving ecological balance at the Chamundi Hills which is under stress now.Special regulations will be put in place so that its beauty is not marred. There will also be special focus on conservation of heritage environs. Building regulations will be imposed in the vicinity of the monuments, they stated.

Muda has identified tanks in the conurbation area, which will come under stress given rapid urbanization. A separate set of regulations are framed to protect them, they stated.

The conurbation area, which was 92.21 sq km in 1981, has now enlarged to 509 sq km comprising 117 villages. Mysore taluk's 84 villages, Nanjangud's 19 and Srirangapatna's 14 are proposed to be part of Mysore Nanjangud Local Planning Area. Muda is aiming to develop Nanjangud as twin city.
