“Therefore, maximum permissible plot coverage area for public and semi-public buildings in the Secretariat Hill and European Ward area will be increased from 50% to 60% and similarly for mixed-use buildings too, it will be increased from 50% to 60%,” he said.

“This is being done with a view that the land is very scarce in these areas and hence the utility of land needs to be increased,” he stated.

Referring to major ongoing projects such as Ward’s Lake project and other tourism projects, he said, “We would like to see that maximum utility of the land is made in these areas.”
