Planning for Peri-Urban Areas

We had a meeting on planning for Peri-Urban areas today. The idea is that areas just outside municipalities are often growing in an unplanned way and there must be directed efforts. A meeting with Panchayat Department and another with KUSP is on the cards. KMDA's Advance Planning Unit is doing its bit insofar as KMA is concerned.
   - I would call upon other Planning Authorities to try likewise.

Finance department has brought out a GO regarding casual, daily rated workers working for 10 years or more @240days per year (Click here ). I have referred the matter to Finance Department seeking clarification as to whether it'd apply to Development Authorities or not.

I'll go to Delhi on the 5th May to attend CSMC meeting on BSUP. On the same day, there is yet another meeting at UD Ministry.....Going by the spate of meetings at Delhi, I am wondering whether it might be a good idea to set up our own office at Delhi ! In any case, we've asked PMU to depute a permanent representative at Delhi.
