Aiming to decongest cities and provide modern amenities in markets across Haryana, the Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) has formulated a uniform comprehensive policy for the development of sectors and specialised markets.

A spokesman of Huda said the development of a specialised market and sectors would not only decongest the old cities and towns, but also boost the economy of the beneficiaries. Giving details of the policy, he said development of specialised markets and sectors in a particular area would be considered where a particular trade or activity is being performed or business is being carried out in an unorganised manner, which is causing public nuisance. He said a zonal committee would identify the areas or stretch of roads from where the individuals or firms running a particular type of business are to be shifted and rehabilitated. Thereafter, a sub-committee would conduct the requisite survey, a report of which would be submitted to the zonal administrator.

He said the zonal committee would be required to counter-check at least 10% of the survey conducted by the sub-committee to ascertain its authenticity. The zonal committee would forward its recommendations to the Chief Administrator, Huda, who shall obtain the approval of the Authority. The identified individuals or firms would then be asked to submit their applications to the estate officer concerned.
