Revival of the Regional Plan 2021 has thrown up a debate of sorts amongst social activists and citizens as to who was responsible behind the decision “ Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, TCP Minister Vijai Sardesai or the Cabinet Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising of Sudin Dhavlikar, Vijai Sardesai and Francis D’Souza.
Well, while the RP 2021 was put in cold storage in 2012 by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar when he took over the reigns of office, a glance at the official noting has now revealed that it was Parrikar himself who gave his nod for the revival of the RP 2021 before the TCP Minister Vijai Sardesai made the decision public.
A glance at the official noting gives an insight into the decision making before the draft order prepared by the Chief Town Planner Rajesh J Naik received a government’s nod.
