The Punjab government has given its approval to the much-awaited master plan of Mullanpur Local Planning Area to develop 6,123.7 hectares of land spread across 33 villages on the outskirts of Chandigarh as Punjab’s first ‘eco-town’. The Masterplan was prepared by experts from Jurong Consultants Private Limited of Singapore.Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Board, approved the master plan.
The existing rivers and their surrounding waterfronts will be developed to become prime geographical assets of Mullanpur. Existing brick kilns and wastelands will be removed due to incompatibility with the surrounding land use and the hazard it poses to the people living around the area. The master plan envisages no change in the restricted defence site and the land locked under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA).
