Gujarat: These roads of Vadodara do not lead anywhere, just increase the cost of land. Vadodara News – Times of India

Vadodara: Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has found itself in the maze of roads This leads to a deep jumble of unplanned activities. After the discovery of ‘road to nowhere’ in Chhani, a series of such destination-less roads have now begun to emerge around the city. Even a legislator from the ruling BJP has now demanded a probe.
The road address in Chhani was traced by the VMC opposition. It was learned that a prominent BJP leader has land in the area. But this road seems to be no exception. Activist Swezley found three more such roads Diameter and Leader of the Opposition Congress Party in VMC Ami Rawat, Vyas found such a road in Laxmipura.
“It seems that the road was built a year or two ago. There is only one building now which is coming at its end. When we inquired, neither the VMC nor the Vadodara Urban Development Authority (VUDA) confirmed Whether they have built it. It is not only a middle-of-the-road road, no one is taking responsibility for it.”
Rawat has found such roads in Bhayli and Ankol near Waghodia intersection. “I have visited both the places, while people from other areas are also telling us about such roads. I am aware of such roads in Kalali, Manjalpur and Vemali areas,” he said.
Shiv Sena leader Tejas Brahmbhatt also found such a road near the Waghodia intersection near the road that Rawat got.
The ruling BJP’s Dabhoi MLA Shailesh Mehta alias Sotta has claimed that there were 17 such roads and even wrote to the chief minister. He called it a conspiracy with male interest.
“Some people buy land as soon as the intention of the town planning (TP) plan is announced. Once the draft of the TP plan is implemented, a road is built there with the help of officials, which drives up the prices of the plots overnight. ,” wrote. Mehta. He said that RO can be developed in the draft of TP, but before that underground drainage and other services should be done.
Mehta said that there were many areas in his constituency like Bill, Bhayli and Sewai where people had started living but there was a lack of infrastructure. “When we ask for facilities, we are told that there is no fund, but roads are built in forests. Rawat also said that such roads have no purpose but to increase land prices.
VUDA’s chief executive, Ashok Patel said that VUDA’s job was to provide infrastructure in areas where draft TP plans have been approved. “The idea is to bring development to these areas. Providing infrastructure is a phased process. We have also floated tenders for sewage lines,” he said.
Patel said that while the VUDA provided infrastructure, it was not necessary that settlements should be made in these areas soon. “These areas may take time to develop and cannot be made mandatory,” he said.
