Plot thickens as deadline nears: Does Bhopal draft master plan’s math on land growth add up?
Bhopal's draft master plan for urban expansion faces scrutiny as discrepancies in population density figures have emerged. The plan estimates a need for 16,000 hectares for an additional 20 lakh people, yet cites varying densities of 90.47 and 125 persons per hectare. With a deadline for public suggestions on October 25, clarity on these figures is crucial for the city's growth until 2047.
