Road ministry for no construction along 15 m on either side of Centre-built Ring roads/bypasses
State govts will have to notify these as 'No Construction Green zone' under their planning laws, prohibiting any development activity.
This will be the major thrust of the ministry's 'access-controlled Ring Roads/bypass' policy for decongesting major cities to ensure such stretches don't face congestion due to ribbon development. Ribbon development refers to linear development along roads, with buildings coming up with direct access to transportation networks.
In response to a question on how the ministry is addressing the problem of unregulated ribbon development along ring roads and bypasses at a recent meeting of PPPAC, an inter-ministerial panel for appraisal of projects built in Public Private Partnership mode, it said, 'Under the proposed policy, emphasis is on regulated development along proposed bypasses. The policy would require a development control zone of 15m on either side of the NH bypass or ring road being notified by the state govt as a green zone under the planning laws enacted by the state, where development shall be prohibited unless it is for public transport or mobility infrastructure, public utility infrastructure like electricity, water or sewerage pipeline or green zone infrastructure'.

The ministry also said that beyond the no-construction green zone, state govts can plan, develop, or regulate the development of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional infrastructure within a two-km radius on either side of the bypass or ring road. This will facilitate economic activity using the ring road or bypass as the centre of development in a regulated manner.
Access to ring roads and bypasses would be only through service roads, which would be constructed at the time of project development, and entry to the main carriageway would be provided only through slip roads or interchanges, the ministry said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the ministry to come up with a model for development of Ring Roads and bypasses by this month end. He has also instructed the ministry to put in place a permanent mechanism or institutional set-up for proper planning and mapping of such projects by the end of August.

India left with ‘no friends': Farooq Abdullah on Trump's 25% tariff; says US now closer to Pakistan
NEW DELHI: Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah has raised concerns over India's dwindling diplomatic ties, following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian goods. The National Conference (NC) president said that India is left with 'no friends' on the global stage and is becoming isolated. He further claimed that Trump's administration is warming up to Pakistan at India's expense. Abdullah criticised India's approach towards its neighbours, warning that the country's posture of dominance may be doing more harm than good. "We have no friends left, even our neighbours are not our friends. What we have tried to do is to show that we are stronger than they are, rather than thinking that all of us have to be together. That's why Indira Gandhi created SAARC, which aimed to bring all nations closer to us. It was meant to think about the economic issues and how to sort them out," Abdullah told ANI. He further alleged that the US had turned overtly friendly towards Pakistan, offering it economic benefits while pressuring India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo "Suddenly, Trump has become much more friendly with Pakistan. They want us not to take Russian oil. Yet they have promised Pakistan they will send crude (oil) to them and refine it, leading to their prices of petrol and diesel to come down. Already, China is behind them," he further added. Abdullah attributed the economic tussle, including the depreciation of the rupee, to what he called a problem between the two leaders, Donald Trump and PM Narendra Modi. "It is a problem between the two leaders - Trump and Modi. They are both strong leaders, and that is why they don't want to bow down to each other. The nation suffers in that. We have a 25 per cent tariff on our goods going to America, plus an additional penalty. In the process, the rupee is falling and the dollar is rising. This is affecting everyone," Abdullah argued. Trump, meanwhile, signalled that the US is still open to dialogue on the issue of tariffs. Responding to a query by ANI, the US President said, "We're talking to them now. We'll see what happens. Again, India was the highest or just about the highest tariff nation in the world, one of the highest, 100 points, 150 points or percentages. So India was one of the highest in the world. They had 175 per cent and higher than that." The statement came during a press conference at the White House, where Trump signed a Congressional bill into law. He also reiterated that India's high tariffs had long been a point of contention for the US. Following the announcement of the new tariffs and penalties for India's purchase of Russian oil, Trump also took to his social media platform Truth Social, "I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.' 'We have done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world," he further added.
