The Jharkhand government announced it will develop fresh master plans for 15 urban centres to guide future growth and infrastructure.
The state government of Jharkhand unveiled a plan to prepare updated master plans for fifteen of its cities. The initiative aims to provide a structured framework for land use, transport, housing and civic amenities, ensuring that future expansion aligns with sustainable development goals.
The urban development department will lead the exercise, collaborating with planning consultants, local authorities and community representatives. While specific timelines were not disclosed, officials indicated that the drafts will be reviewed in phases and integrated into upcoming budget allocations.
By revisiting the master plans, the government hopes to address bottlenecks such as traffic congestion, inadequate public services and unplanned settlements, thereby improving the quality of life for residents across the targeted cities.
