Patna High Court too found the 2006 master plan flawed as it did not undergo the codified due process for the preparation of the master plan. Termed as Utopian by its detractors, the 2006 master plan was practically shelved without the officials formally acknowledging its burial.
Asked about the status of the master plan, Sushil Mishra, executive officer of Bodh Gaya Nagar Panchayat said he was awaiting directions from the urban development department. Urban development and housing minister Prem Kumar says the master plan was in the pipeline and the flaws of the previous master plan will be removed.
Creation of the 200 metre wide green belt too, has hit a road block as the land earmarked as green belt is private land and land acquisition proceedings to give real shape to the green belt concept have not even begun. Moreover, the choice of northern side of the road for green belt has come in for criticism as land owners want 100 metres wide green belt on either side of the road instead of 200 metres wide belt on the northern side alone.
