THE PLAN SHOWS THE VARIOUS PLOTS AND A FEW MAIN

ROADS BUT NO DETAILS ABOUT EXISTING STRUCTURES.

THE BMC HAD DONE A PLANE TABLE SURVEY IN 2007 BUT IT

TOOK THREE MORE YEARS FOR THE ACTUAL REALIZATION OF
THE PROJECT, BY THE TIME CHANGES IN TERMS OF
LANDOWNERSHIP HAD TAKEN PLACE AND NEW DWELLINGS HAD
COME UP MAKING THE PLANE TABLE SURVEY OBSOLETE.

THE NOS. ON THE HOUSES OF THE PLANE TABLE

SURVEY AND THE BENEFICIARY LIST DID NOT
MATCH MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY
BENEFICIARIES ON THE PLANE TABLE SURVEY.
THIS ALSO LED TO AN ADDITIONAL EXERCISE OF
DOING A PHYSICAL CHECK ON SITE TRYING TO
MATCH THE LIST WITH THE SURVEY.

- PLOTS INCLUDED IN THE SCHEME AND THE NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES IN EACH PLOT
-TOTAL NO. OF BENEFICIARIES - 73

NON- BENEFICIARIES

HOUSES ON THE SURVEY WERE MATCHED WITH THE NUMBERS ON THE BENEFICIARY LIST AND NON
BENEFICIARIES ALSO IDENTIFIED AND MARKED.

3
ABERRATIONS LIKE THESE
WERE FOUND WHERE IN A
PUCCA CHAWL LIKE BUILDING
ONLY ONE ROOM IN THE
ENTIRE CHAWL WAS OWNED
BY A BENEFICIARY.
THEREFORE IF UPGRADING
THE PUCCA HOUSE WAS THE
OPTION THEN IT WAS NOT
POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE ONLY
A PART OF THE CHAWL AND IF
DEMOLITION REBUILDING WAS
THE OPTION THEN IT WAS NOT
POSSIBLE TO DEMOLISH JUST
A PART OF AN EXISTING
PUCCA STRUCTURE.

BMC DPR LAYOUT

THE BMC DPR IS BUILD ON THE

PLANE TABLE SURVEY DONE BY
BMC IN 2007

Unit Layout according to the DPR

PLANE TABLE SURVEY DONE BY THE FEDERATION

-THE BMC DPR FOR DIVIDING PLOTS AMONG BENEFICIARIES

CONSIDERED THE ENTIRE LAND IN THE SETTLEMENT WITHOUT
SUBTRACTING THE EXISTING HOUSES AND LAND OF THE NONBENEFICIARIES.

-THE ROAD LAYOUTS WHICH WERE SHOWN IN THE DPR WERE

CLASHING WITH EXISTING NON-BENEFICIARY HOUSES WHICH WERE
NOT A PART OF THE SCHEME AND THEREFORE NOT GOING TO BE
DEMOLISHED.

-THEREFORE THE BMC DPR LAYOUT COULD NOT BE USED AND NEW
LAYOUT HAD TO BE MADE FOR WHICH AN UPDATED PLANE TABLE
SURVEY WAS A MUST.
