Re. Your Public Notice F.20(2)/99/MP/pt. In the Times of India dated
18/9/2004
Sir,
I wish to put on record my objections to the ?proposed? change of land use
mentioned in your notice, for the following reasons inter alia:
1. I understand that the land use change in Shastri Park has already
occurred, and construction work for the IT Park is already under progress.
Under these circumstances it is a travesty of due process, and an insult to
the public to issue a notice inviting objections to the so-called
?proposed? change of land use at this stage.
2. In the absence of proper Environmental Impact Assessment the land use
change would be in violation of court orders, and a violation of the Delhi
Master Plan provisions.
3. Common sense, history and the existing land use as per the DMP make it
clear that agriculture and water bodies are the obviously wise way to use
the banks and bed of the Yamuna as it flows through Delhi. To propose
piecemeal changes in this use (especially post-facto) without going through
the exercise of a detailed zonal plan would be obviously unwise.
4. In view of these considerations of logic, law, common sense, history,
and propriety in procedures of development planning, the proposed land use
change should not be allowed. Moreover, any construction that has occurred
on the site that violates the currently prescribed land use should be as
expeditiously and thoroughly removed, as other encroachments on the Yamuna
waterfront have been, in the recent past.
Yours truly,
Kashyap Mankodi
