The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has begun reviewing the city development plan (CDP) as per the guidelines of the Union Government.
The PCMC will set up the CDP policy committee and a technical committee will have to be constituted. The mayor will head the policy committee and the technical committee will work under the policy committee and coordinate with all other stakeholders. It will be used for planning the developmental works under the JNNURM over the next five years. The CDP will focus on water supply, sewage and sanitation, storm water drainage, solid waste management, comprehensive mobility plan, housing and basic services for urban poor, preservation and rejuvenation of water bodies, urban environment, cultural heritage conservation, local economic development, disaster prevention and management plans. A city-level financial plan has to be created to improve the city’s fiscal and service level position each year over the next five years. Once the CDP draft is prepared, suggestions and objections will be called from citizens and stakeholders.
