Zindabad!
The MCGM has been uploading Revised DCRs since the past two weeks. The DP too is proposed to be uploaded by the 27th of May. This will be followed by the two month period to register our suggestions and objections.
Whether or not the DP is uploaded by the 27th, All of us who have been engaging with the DP over the past two years need to meet and review the DCRs and DP and prepare the suggestions and objections for the same.
We are proposing a campaign meeting and workshop on the 30th with the following agenda
- Taking stock of the progress of the DP
- Familiarising ourselves with the DCRs and critically assessing them
- If the PLU is uploaded, studying maps to figure if our demands have been incorporated
- Discuss the citywide development projects such as BPT, metro car shed, coastal road and arrive at Campaign position
