CHANDIGARH, Aug 8 — Mr Satya Pal Jain, local MP has suggested setting up a joint advisory committee of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh for integrated coordinated development of Chandigarh and its periphery.
He was speaking at the concluding session of a two-day seminar on future of Chandigarh here yesterday.
Mr Jain said because of shrinking land, the concept of multi-storeyed flats has to be encouraged to meet the growing housing demand. He also advocated an increase in covered area from the present 50 per cent.
Mr Jain also demanded revoking of the Periphery Control Order. The Administration should make amendments to allow construction of second and third storeys in buildings where initially only single storey was permitted. The Administration should also not ignore those living in slums and rehabilitation colonies while planning future urban estates and areas, he said.
