Re: [mpisgmedia] DMP-2021 Public Notice?

<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Gita,</P>
<P>How come the Master Plan document is already published? If so why the charade of inviting public objections? </P>
<P>I looked up the DDA website as soon as you posted on the mpisgmedia mailing list, there is no landuse plan. The document is pretty terse and I not sure if poting the document on the internet qualifies for being accessible to public. The last I knew Delhi wasnt a global city as yet. I think that there is cause for concern about the subterfuge involved in the conception and production of this artifact that the next twenty years of Delhi's development depends on.<BR><BR></P>

be sent in 90-days, etc. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I had the impression that what has been on DDA's &gt; &gt; &gt; website for a few days was the draft circulated to &gt; &gt; &gt; confidante experts and sections of the press &gt; &gt; before &gt; &gt; &gt; approval on 10.01.2005 ? since the index page, &gt; &gt; while &gt; &gt; &gt; it does say "public notice" does not mention &gt; &gt; details &gt; &gt; &gt; of gazette notification or even date, Land Use &gt; &gt; Plan &gt; &gt; &gt; and other maps are missing, several pages carry &gt; &gt; the &gt; &gt; &gt; header "for restricted circulation", etc, besides &gt; &gt; &gt; which other s.11A Public Notices for DMP-2001 &gt; &gt; &gt; modification (such as for hospitals and for &gt; &gt; &gt; recreational clubs published today) continue to be &gt; &gt; &gt; issued and there are also pending Public Notices, &gt; &gt; &gt; court 
matters, etc. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the document is indeed out for the 90-day &gt; &gt; Public &gt; &gt; &gt; Notice, I will be very obliged if you would let me &gt; &gt; &gt; know where I can peruse / purchase the English and &gt; &gt; &gt; Hindi versions. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Yours sincerely &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gita Dewan Verma, Planner &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;__________________________________ &gt;Do you Yahoo!? &gt;Yahoo!
