Congress leader Jayvardhan Singh has criticized the government over the Bhopal Master Plan, alleging that the lack of a finalized plan forces traders to rely on brokers. PC Sharma has begun a 31-hour fast in protest.
Political tensions in Bhopal have intensified over the status of the city's Master Plan. Jayvardhan Singh, a Congress leader, has launched a sharp critique against the ruling government, asserting that the delay in finalizing the plan is causing significant administrative hurdles.
Singh alleged that the absence of a clear Master Plan has created an environment where traders and business owners are compelled to seek approvals through political leaders and brokers. He stated that this dependency is hindering legitimate business activities and creating unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles for local entrepreneurs.
In a show of protest, PC Sharma has sat on a 31-hour fast to highlight the issue. The opposition party argues that the current situation reflects a lack of transparency and efficiency in urban planning processes in the state capital.
The Congress party has framed this issue as a matter of public interest, claiming that the government's approach favors irregularities over structured urban development. The fast serves as a symbolic gesture to draw attention to the alleged irregularities in land and building permission processes in Bhopal.
