CPI seeks withdrawal of draft Master Plan

‘It does not address the concerns of people’

The CPI has opposed the Draft VMRDA Master Plan – 2041 on the plea that it does not address the concerns of the citizens and sought that it should be withdrawn in view of the apprehensions and objections being raised by the public. In a letter to the Metropolitan Commissioner on Friday, party State assistant secretary J.V. Satyanarayana Murthy and Greater Visakha city committee secretary M. Pydiraju said that it was the duty of the authorities to tell the citizens as to how far the existing Master Plan was implemented. They should also be told as to what was the reason for the non-implementation of some of the works proposed in the earlier plan and the difficulties in their implementation, the party leaders said.
