Urban Development Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey, at a departmental meeting in Patna on Saturday, said the state government had sent the master plan for the development of Patna to the Central government for its approval and hoped work on the plan would begin within next 3 to 4 months.
The Patna Regional Development Authority (PRDA) would hold a meeting on Monday to discuss any last minute change in the plan before inviting suggestions from eminent citizens. The plan would be open to the public for ideas and suggestions for next four months before it is given the final seal of approval, Choubey said adding works would begin immediately after that.
The meeting was attended by senior PRDA officials including its vice president Sujata Chaturvedi, Chief Town Planner, and renowned architecture firm Sen and Lal.
Similar plans are being made to develop Gaya under the Jawaharlal Nehru Urbanization Scheme, Choubey said.
