MUDA endorses 'Greater Mysore'

The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) has approved in principle a proposal to constitute ‘Greater Mysore’ to ensure system and planned development of the city.

It has decided to constitute a committee of experts for formulating a comprehensive plan to implement the scheme.

At a meeting held recently, it also approved in principle construction of 3,000 houses with three floors, ground plus two floors, for economically weaker sections. It decided to invite fresh applications for allotment of sites at Rabindranath Tagore Nagar, a newly formed layout. Another decision taken by MUDA was to rename the Alanahalli extension as Lalitha Mahal Nagar. It considered a proposal to develop the open ground area around the Government House on the lines of the famous Lal Bagh.in Bangalore at a cost of Rs 3.50 crore and decided to submit the proposal for government’s administrative approval.

 

It also decided to send another proposal for building a two-floor spectators’ gallery at the Banni Mantap grounds to the Government for its administrative sanction.

The gallery at a cost of Rs 8.80 crore is proposed to accommodate more people to witness the torchlight parade on the Vijaya Dasami day of Dasara.

The MUDA endorsed the proposal to digitise/database its records pertaining to about a lakh sites in its possession.

It decided to install solar streetlights on an experimental basis in selected spots in the layouts it has developed.

According to another decision taken by it, the MUDA will transfer Dattagalli 3rd Stage, Vijayanagar 4th Stage, 1,2 and 3 phases, Sriramputa 2nd Stage, Sathagalli 2nd Stage, Hanchya-Sathagalli ‘A’ and ‘B’ zones, Devanur 3rd Stage, Nachanahalli-Kuppalur 3rd stage, ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ zones, and Alanahalli extension to the Mysore City Corporation for further maintenance.
