Expansion
Before legalizing 100 illegal colonies of Indore city, the government did not think about those people, who put their hard earned money in those legal colonies, where they can do everything according to rules and regulations, but now everything is legal and illegal in Indore. Is equal. Not only the private colonizers in Indore, even the Housing Board has left no stone unturned to build in the green belt. There, plots and flats were sold to the people for a lot of money.
The part near Sukhliya village was reserved for city parking in the master plan of 1991, where the Housing Board established Deendayal Upadhyaya Nagar. More than two thousand flats were built here and sold to the people. After all, how did the maps of these multis pass? On whose order the entire city was established in the Green Belt. No one knows this.

Questions were not raised even at the time of transfer of colony
If the Housing Board develops any colony, then after the stipulated time, it is transferred to the Municipal Corporation. It is the Municipal Corporation that gives the status of legal and illegal to the colonies. According to the rules, the colony located in the green belt cannot be legalized, but the Municipal Corporation encouraged illegal work at the time of transfer to Deendayal Upadhyaya Nagar. Narmada connection, wide road, electricity are all there in that colony.
IDA scheme in the catchment area of Sirpur Talab
The area around Sirpur Talab is included in the Green Belt. Some part of Indore Development Authority’s Scheme-71 is 300 meters away from Sirpur Talab. When Shankar Lalwani was the president, he got a road built in the catchment area of the pond and plots were sold. When the issue arose, some plots were reduced to give space for natural flow.
The responsibility of the development authority to bring the master plan to the ground
According to Jaywant Holkar, former engineer of the Town and Country Investment Department, it is the responsibility of the Indore Development Authority to bring the master plan to the ground. He develops schemes, sells plots, builds roads, but no major scheme is implemented for the green belt. Whatever green belt is there in the master plan, if its demarcation and alignment is done, then the construction on the green belt can be prevented, but it is a matter of regret that half of the green belt depicted in the master plan of Indore has been gifted with construction. .
