landuse plan have been given elaborately, as per which, area under Residential use
(newly proposed residential zones, village abadis outside and insisted lal lakir) is
Page 3
1214 hec (10.24%), under Commercial use (rural marketing centre, wholesale,
godown, warehousing & logistic park) is 208 hec (1.75%), under Industrial use
(industrial zones & thermal power plant) is 884 hec (7.46%), Public/semi public
uses (institutional cum residential zone, government/semi government office,
public utility sites and socio-cultural and religious) is 313 hec (2.64%),
Transportation & Communication (road & rail network, bus & rail terminus) is
under 212 hec (1.8%) under Recreational/Tourism (river front recreation, reserved
four tourist facilities) is under 376 hec (3.18%) and under Agricultural zone is 8641
hec (72.93%).
During actual implementation of these proposals to achieve the true spirit of
these proposals the Zoning Regulations have formulated later in its part. In these
zoning regulations, land use regulations have been specified to indicate the
permissibility of various activities in different land uses/zones. In addition to these,
the development controls for the development of the permissible activities within
respective land uses/areas have also been specified, so that development of any
activities does not take place out of the prescribed extent and form. In the end, the
procedure of implementation of the above proposals and development control is
also given.

2.2 Goindwal An Overview

Goindwal is situated along the river Beas in the North Western part of
Punjab. It is situated on 750730E to 75 10 55E longitudes and 31 21 35 N to
312440 N latitudes. It falls in administrative boundaries of district Tarn Taran,
tehsil Khadur Sahib and block Khadur Sahib. It is a major and one of the popular
historic settlement located in the Majha region. It has followed the concept and
approaches of Sikh Gurus to develop human settlements as centers of preaching
and social upliftment. Goindwal or Govindwal as mentioned in the historic
literature was conceived to develop as a centre of Sikh preaching by Guru Amar
Das, the third Sikh Guru.

Pic. 1 Gurudwara Baoli Sahib at Goindwal The first ever place of Sikh pilgrimage
Goindwal is a rural settlement, which reported a population of 6,845

persons in 2001 Census against 3,601 persons and 2,498 persons in 1991 and
1981 respectively. Goindwal is facilitated with a senior secondary school, a primary
school, veterinary hospital, mini primary health centre, a sub post office and
telephone network etc. The area including surrounding villages has been declared
as Industrial Focal Point for establishment of industries here.
2.2.1 Historical Evolution of Goindwal Sahib

(I) Growth and Development
The historical evolution of Goindwal Sahib has been divided into two parts:
a) Medieval Period
b) Modern Period
a) Medieval Period:
Foundation: Goindwal, the first ever place of Sikh pilgrimage, designated by its
founder, Guru Amar Das. This was established along the river Beas on Delhi Lahore Sher Shah Suri Marg. In fact it was an important junction where eastwest highway crossed the River Beas. With the renovation of the highway by
Sher Shah Suri, the Afghan ruler of north India 1540-45 AD, this ferry site
became an important transit point. This led one Goinda or Gonda, a
Marvaha Khatri trader, to plan a habitation at the western end of the ferry.
Growth: While installing Guru Amar Das as his successor in 1522 A.D., Guru
Angad Dev ji advised him to settle at the newly built town. When Guru Amar
Das shifted to this town, all his brothers and their families also shifted from
Basarke to Goindwal. The Gurus devotional life attracted people from far and
Page 6
near leading to scarcity of living accommodation. The Guru encouraged settlers

to construct houses through liberal allotment of residential plots of land.
Pic. 2: Baoli at Goindwal
Construction of Baoli: In the settlements of 16th century, availability of water

has played a pivotal role. The location of good quality potable water became the
major source of development of the settlement. The construction of Baoli at
Goindwal was a multi-purpose project. Guru Amar Das decided to give to the
Sikhs a central place for gatherings of the whole founded township. A site for
baoli was chosen and excavation work started.
Pilgrimage: The Goindwal became an important centre for Sikh preachings with
the availability of water, rest place and free community kitchen. The
settlements were developed in the form of habitation of few houses along the
uplands of river Beas. The external linkages were performed by the shahi marg
(Sher Shah Suri road). It is important to understand and mention here that the
establishment of Goindwal was also linked to the inter action settlements
established at Khadur Sahib, Kartarpur, and Batala.
Page 7
Pic. 3: Concept by Goinda for development of Goindwal
Concept of Development: Goindwal is a typical settlement, which demonstrates

that a site full of development potentials can remain undeveloped, if the
developer like Goinda lacks imagination and site planning techniques. The site,
which was not growing despite repeated efforts of Goinda and considered to be
inhabited by Ghosts and Evil Spirits turned into a sprawling commercial and
religious centre, when Guru Amar Das took keen interest in its development.
B) Modern Period
It is observed that not much growth has taken place in the settlement and
its surroundings in any manner. The development in terms of spatial growth is not
much over the years. Major steps which have been taken to upgrade this
settlement and its surroundings are establishment of Industrial complex and
Thermal Power Plant here.
ii) Decline of Goindwal Sahib:

After the initial development of the Goindwal, it became slow, even became
stagnant at different points of time due to various reasons, few of them are
discussed below:
a) Establishment of Harmandir Sahib at AmritsarWith the establishment of Guru Ka Chak, construction of Amrit Srovar
and installation of the Adi Granth in Hari Mandir, the Sikh religious masses now
Page 8
focused their attention towards Amritsar, due to which the socio-cultural

importance of Goindwal started declining.
b) Development of the other settlements nearby:
The development of Goindwal was ignored when the development of Amritsar
and Tarn Taran took place. Earlier, it was the centre of pilgrimage and development
and now it has just become a peripheral area. As the attention has been shifted to
Amritsar as well as Tarn Taran, the Goindwal was left undeveloped.
c) Shifting the G.T. Road
The decision of the britishers to link Lahore with Ludhiana via Amritsar,
Kartarpur, Jalandhar and Phagwara in second half of nineteenth century, by
realigning the Grand Trunk Road, was the swear blow to the economic
development of the town.
d) Failure of Industrial Complex
Industrial complex was established with the view to promote the
development of the whole region which was considered economically backward. But
its failure affected the growth not only of Goindwal but of the whole region.
iii) Major Development Events:

The major events include all the important events as shown in the table 2.1
which took place, right from the growth of the town to the development till date.

2.2.2 Regional Setting

Regional setting is the combination of two words region and setting in
which region means an area and setting means how an area or a region is to be
set in context of its surroundings. The development/growth of every settlement is
affected by its surroundings and vice versa. Hence, it is very important to study
the relative importance of Goindwal with respect to its surroundings. It is to be
studied on the basis of some criteria as described below:
i) Location and Situation

Geographically, Goindwal is located 750730E to 75 10 55E longitudes
and 31 21 35 N to 312440 N latitudes. It is situated on the right bank of the
Beas River, 48 kilometers South East of Amritsar and about 24 kms South East of
Tarn Taran district Headquarter.

Goindwal as settlement while map 2 shows the location of Goindwal with respect to
surrounding important settlements like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Batala
etc. with respect to their importance in this region.
Page 11
ii) Road and Linkages

Goindwal is connected by roads with other important towns like Kapurthala,
Jandiala Guru, Tarn Taran, Amritsar and also with other adjacent villages. It is
readily accessible by road from Jalandhar via Kapurthala and from Amritsar via
Khadur Sahib. It is also well connected with the other important settlements in its
vicinity. It is situated 24 Km from PathankotAmritsarMakhuFaridkot
MaloutAbohar (National Highway No. 15 ) upto Rajasthan border.
Goindwal is also accessible with rail network; it is connected with Beas
railway junction. The following map shows the road and railway linkages towards
Goindwal.
Map 3 Road and Railway linkage of Goindwal with important settlement
Map 3 shows the road and railway accessibility from Goindwal to other
villages and vice versa which shows that Goindwal has its potential in terms of
road and rail linkages, which is the positive point in order to popularize Goindwal
as a religious, historical as well as economically important settlement.
2.2.3 Characteristics of Goindwal

Every settlement has its own distinct characteristics, which is important to
understand in order to give proposals for future, taking those characteristics as the
potential and problems. The potentials need to be encouraged and problems need
Page 12
to be minimized through planning while preparing the master plan, hence

Goindwal is studied under two headings as described under;
i) Physical Characteristics
The village Goindwal lying between the Beas river to the east and district
head quarter, Tarn Taran in the west, which forms the lower part of the upper baridoab, is one of the inter fluvial tracks of the Punjab plain.
ii) Demographic Characteristics:

Goindwal is a rural settlement as per Census of India, 2001. According to
the 2001 Census, Goindwal village is populated with 6,845 persons. The growth
trend of population of village Goindwal is given in the following table 2.2.

Fig 2.1 Population Growth of Goindwal
The fig 2.1 shows the comparative decadal growth of Goindwal. In the period
between 1991-2001, the population of the village has almost been doubled. The
reasons for the high growth rate is development of residential area of GIICO
complex and establishment of new unapproved colonies. Therefore, the people from
the nearby villages have migrated to Goindwal for enjoying better facilities and
quality of life. The total number of households is 1247. The population density
comes out to be 13 PPH. Out of the total population, 2625 persons belong to SC
category which is 38% approximately. In addition, 4231 persons are literate out of
the total population, which accounts to 62% of the total population.
Page 13
iii) Social Characteristics:

Social characteristics comprise the kind of facilities available in the village
i.e. education, health facilities etc.

Although, there are many private practitioners providing medical aid to the
needy but it is revealed from the table 2.4 that Goindwal lacks in health facilities
from government side. There is only 1 mini PHC so there is need of health facilities
as in case of emergency, the distance to be travelled for availing high level of
government medical facilities is more than 3 kms. There is also one veterinary
hospital for the medical aid of the animals.
iv) Economic Characteristics:

The total working population is 1945 that accounts to be 28.4%, which is
very less if compared with the state of Punjab where it is more than 33%. Out of
the working population, only 26% are involved in agricultural activities and the
remaining workers are engaged in non-agricultural activities.
Page 14
The total area of Goindwal is 539 hectares. Out of the total area, the net
sown area is 406 hectares. The major crops comprise of wheat and rice.
Fig 2.2 Land Utilization Cropwise
Figure 2.2 reveals that the maximum land is utilized for the production of
wheat and rice i.e. 77% of the total cultivated land approximately. In addition, the
other crops such as oil seeds have a minor range. 1.3% of land is under
horticulture and 1.43% of the land is under specific crops such as medicinal
plants.

2.2.4 Potentials and Problems of Goindwal Sahib:

i)
The potentials of Goindwal Sahib comprises of:

The presence of historical and religious buildings and landmarks is a big
potential for the area, which can be used for promotion of religious tourism by
developing its supporting activities and infrastructure.
River Beas, passing through Local Planning Area, acts as a potential. As it is
the major water body, so the recreational tourism can be promoted along the
river front. Moreover, water availability for domestic, commercial, industrial as
well as agriculture purpose is there in sufficient quantity.
Goindwal has a great potential of industrial activities. As industrial complex
has been proposed/planned here, which can be further exploited properly in
such a way that it provides large scale employment and can become a major
industrial centre of the region.
A Thermal Power Plant has been proposed in the Local Planning Area. It can act
as a great potential for the region and even surrounding areas by generating
electricity, which can be utilized for proposed economic activities as well as
upgrading the social status of the people living in the region.
The existing road network is present in the whole Local Planning Area which
can be used as linkages by their improvement and up gradation.
Social infrastructure in the form of educational facilities has been adequately
provided in Local Planning Area, Goindwal. These facilities can be further
expanded and hence this area can be promoted as an educational hub to serve
the region.
ii) Problems in Goindwal
Although there are so many religiously and historically important buildings but
these are not being maintained and conserved properly.
The availability of tourist facilities are not of the level that these can attract the
tourist spots like Sh. Harminder Sahib and Attari Border at Amritsar and Shri
Darbar Sahib at Tarn Taran.
The industrial complex proposed in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal

remained underutilized.
Goindwal has major share of unplanned residential area. Hence, norms and
standards have not been followed while developing these areas, which resulted
in the lack of facilities and services.
The growth of Goindwal is taking place in such a way that there is no

relationship between the different elements of the development which ultimately
leads to the haphazard growth of the settlement.
Page 16
In case of social infrastructure, except educational facilities, no other facility

has been adequately provided.
No hierarchy has been followed for development of commercial areas due to

which these activities have come up along streets leading to resulting
congestion around the historical places. Moreover, there is no defined space for
the informal commercial activities.
The wholesale godowns and storage facilities are missing because of which the
production activities are getting spoiled. Moreover, the marketing centre is also
missing as a result of which the production activities are being affected because
they are not getting any exposure in the region.
No hierarchy has been followed in the provision of parks and open spaces. As a
result, there are no playgrounds for the children to play. And during the fairs
and festivals, these problems are further augmented.
There are problems of parking and encroachments during the fairs and festivals
time. At that time, the effective width of the roads get further reduced when the
shopkeepers encroach upon the road. Hence, the need for informal commercial
sites arises.
Goindwal faces many infrastructural inadequacies such as lack of maintenance

of water supply and non-provision of sewerage system, drainage system and
solid waste management.
Although water supply system has been provided there, but problem lies on the
part of maintenance of water supply network. People are not getting adequate
amount of water supply and also the quality of water is getting degraded.
There is provision of sewerage system in the small planned areas, due to poor
maintenance of which, the residents face many problems such as clogging of
sewage because of which unhygienic conditions prevail.
The old water course has got polluted and there is problem of water stagnation
because of which the cleanliness and other water bodies are required.

PART-III
LOCAL PLANNING AREA, GOINDWAL
3.1 Planning Efforts so far:
3.1.1 Establishing a Nucleus Industrial Complex
Under the new Industrial policy, the Planning Commission of India
recommended the setting up of nucleus industries in backward areas as a part of
industrial growth and backward area development policy.
In response to popular demand as a part of industrial growth policy, a work
task force of Union and State Government officials examined suitability of
Goindwal for locating a nucleus Industrial complex and selected a site of about
194.33 hectares as a beginning towards the creation of a new industrial complex,
followed by acquisition of adjoining chucks of land. This industrial complex was
proposed to be well planned and self sufficient unit which was proposed to have
well planned plots for industrial units, residential area, road network/ hierarchy,
parks/open spaces/green belts, social facilities and utilities network. Initially,
these proposals were started implementing on ground by establishment of the
industrial units, laying down of roads and utility networks as well as construction
of houses in the residential area of this complex. After that, land was also acquired
for second phase of the industrial complex. But these development works did not
continue for long time, as with the closure of industrial units in the complex,
development of all other elements stopped. As a result of which, the development of
the acquired land for the complex could not take place. Moreover, the laid down
road infrastructure and utility network is under-utilized and is in poor condition at
present. Hence, there is the wastage of government money.
3.1.2. Controlled Area Around Industrial Complex

To control the development and to restrict haphazard growth around the
industrial complex, Goindwal Controlled Area was declared wide notification No
9/7/853HB-III/13420 Dated 1/12/1987 under section 4(1) of The Punjab
Schedule Roads and Controlled Areas (Restriction of Unregulated Development),
Act 1963.
The total area of this Controlled Area was 1064.77 hectares. The
development plan for this controlled area was prepared by the department of Town
and Country Planning, Punjab (Drg .No. DTP (A) 3168/93 dated 4/11/ 93), which
was technically approved by Chief Town Planner, Punjab. But unfortunately, it was
Page 18
not declared u/s 5(7) of the above said act, hence the proposals were not
practically implemented on ground.
3.1.3 Absence of Master Plan

No master plan whether non staturary or staturary has been proposed or
prepared for Goindwal till date. Therefore, there is no legal provision of
development controls and regulations in the area. As a result of which, but
unregulated and haphazard development slowly taking place here.
3.2 Need of Master Plan

It is clear that only small area of the Local Planning Area, Goindwal by
establishment of industrial complex and no other effort for planning area belonging
to this Local Planning Area is made and if such effort is made by declaration of
controlled area, it is not practically implemented on ground. So, it is important to
prepare a Master Plan for the religiously important region due to the following
reasons:
Master Plan is needed for the balanced development of the Local Planning Area
in every sphere, creating inter relationship between various elements of growth.
To promote the integrated development of the town by rationalizing the pattern

of land use and their interrelationship.
To develop Goindwal and its surroundings as religiously important settlement

in order to maintain its identity and to facilitate the religious tourists.
To exploit the natural resources for tourism of Goindwal, which are still
underutilized.
To enhance the economic status of the Local Planning Area by reviving its
industrial character.
Taking into consideration the proposal of Thermal Power Plant in the Local
Planning Area, to reduce its negative impacts in the surrounding area and to
exploit its potential.
To create the workplace relationship by proposing the residential area at

suitable sites in the view of industrial complex and proposed thermal plant
As most of the area of Local Planning Area, Goindwal, is presently under

agriculture use, therefore proper marketing and infrastructural facilities are
required here.
Provision of strong road infrastructure for linking the Local Planning Area and
its important settlements with other important surrounding settlements and
Page 19
linking its various development elements, in the light of future development

here.
To make the town rich in infrastructure.
To provide the optimum infrastructural facilities/services for future population.
To make Goindwal as a vibrant entity to overcome the existing inadequacies

and weaknesses.
At last, it is concluded Goindwal is considered as a historical/religious town
and the futuristic economic hub, the need of Master Plan of Goindwal arises for its
very important role for integrated and sustainable development of Local Planning
Area, Goindwal.
3.3 Delineation of Local Planning Area, Goindwal

As discussed earlier, no Master Plan of Goindwal is prepared so far but now
Punjab Government has declared, its Local Planning Area, for preparation of its
Master Plan due to its religious and historical as well as locational importance.
As a first step towards the preparation of Master plan Goindwal, Local
Planning Area has been delineated and notified u/s 56(i) of The Punjab Regional
and Town Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2006 in the Official
Gazette vide notification no: 12/5/2009-4HGI/2836 dated 26-10-2009. The Local
Planning Area, Goindwal includes 19 villages all of which falls in administrative
boundaries of district Tarn Taran. The total area of Local Planning Area, Goindwal
works out to be 11,880 hectares.

as notified vide Punjab Govts notification no 12/5/2009-4HGI/2836 dated 26-102009.
The Local Planning Area, Goindwal (2009) comprises of 19 villages including
the village Goindwal (refer map. 4). Local Planning Area experienced population
Page 21
growth rate of 19.68%, 19.65% and 26.15% during the year 1971-1981, 1981-1991
and 1991-2001 respectively. According to the 2001 census, the population of Local
Planning Area, Goindwal including Goindwal village is 53,818 persons. The village
wise population of Local Planning Area, Goindwal (2009) is given in table 3.1 in
para 3.4 of this chapter.
While delineating Local Planning Area, Goindwal the following factors as
mentioned in rule 22 of The Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development
(General rules 1995) have been taken into consideration;
While proposing the limits of the above Local Planning Area, the revenue
boundaries of the villages falling in it as well as the common administrative
boundaries of the district Tarn Taran and Kapurthala were taken into account.
To include the historical places/gurudwaras situated in villages Khadur Sahib
and Bharowal in the Local Planning Area, the revenue areas of their villages
have been added within its limits.
The location of the river Beas which acts as a physical barrier for the
development in eastern direction, also acts as constraint to go beyond the
eastern boundaries of the village Dhunda, Miani, Akbarpur, Alampur and
Verowal etc.
The revenue area of the villages Jhander, Dhunda, Khakh, Miani have been
included in this Local Planning Area, keeping in view, the industrial units
established in the area of these villages under Goindwal Industrial and
investment Corporation.
Besides this, the revenue area of villages Verowal, Alampur, Hothian, Pindia
and Hansanwala have been added within this Local Planning Area due to the
proposal of the thermal power plant here.
3.4 Constituent Settlements and its Juridiction

Besides the above, population analysis has also been done in light of share
of population of Local Planning Area, Goindwal to the state population. The detail
of villages falling in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal are given below in the table
3.1 and map 5.

PART- IV
EXISTING SITUATION OF LOCAL PLANNING AREA,
GOINDWAL
4.1 Physical Chraracteristics
4.1.1 Physiography
The physiography of the settlement under the study consists topography of
the settlement, soil characteristics includes its type & load bearing capacity. The
Local Planning Area, Goindwal lying between the Beas river to the east and Tarn
Taran in the west, in Tarn Taran district, which forms the lower part of the upper
baridoab, is one of the inter fluvial tracks of the Punjab Plain. The physiography
of Goindwal is interspersed with mounds and depressions. These mounds and
depressions were safe from the fury of floods and were taken into consideration by
Guruji while selection of sites of Gurudwara Baoli Sahib and Gurudwara Chubara
Sahib. Presence of underground water made it possible to construct the baoli here
but the difficulties which were faced during the digging of baoli indicate the
presence of hard strata here. The physiography is plain in general except near river
beas.
4.1.2 Water Features:-
Picture 4: View of Goindwal along River Beas
Among the water features in Local Planning Area, Goindwal, most important
is River Beas, which is the main cause of development of this settlement, due to
the environment of solitude and tranquility here. It is one of the five rivers of
Punjab. It bounds the Local Planning Area in its east as a big physical barrier.
Page 26
Besides this, sabhraon branch canal passes through the Local Planning
Area mainly from villages Verowal, Alampur, Khadur Sahib, Khawaspur and
Fatehabad. Patti distributary, which starts from sabhraon branch where the
Sabhraon branch cuts the revenue boundary of village Verowal, flows almost
parallel to the Sabhraon branch. A minor splits from this distributory in village
Hothian and flows towards village Jhander.
Two drains also pass through Local Planning Area, one Khadur drain
flowing parallel to the sabhraon branch upto a point in village Khadur Sahib where
it splits towards village Vainpoin.
In addition to above, the ghats along the river Beas were its inseparable part
at Gurus period. Tanks have also been constructed in Gurudwara Nihangan near
Gurudwara Baoli Sahib and in Mandir Mata Chintpurni whereas among ponds one
exists in bus stand in Goindwal. Ponds also exist in each village of LPA Goindwal.
4.1.3. Climate
The climate of Local Planning Area, Goindwal is characterized by general
dryness, except during the brief south-west monsoon, a hot summer and a bracing
winter. The year may be divided into four seasons. The cold season is from
November to March. The period from April to June is the hottest season. The south
west monsoon season is from the beginning of July to first week of September. The
succeeding period lasting until the beginning of November is the post- monsoon or
transition period.
From the end of March, temperature increases steadily until June which is
the hottest month when the maximum temperature may reach 45C. With the
onset of the monsoon in the district by about end of June or in the beginning of
July, there is appreciable drop in the day temperature. The nights are however, as
warm as during the monsoon season as in summer and owing to the increased
moisture in the air, the weather is often oppressive. After the withdrawal of the
monsoon season, nights become progressively cool. From October, there is rapid
drop in temperature. January is generally the coldest month. During the cold
season, the district is affected by cold waves due to the western disturbances and
minimum temperature occasionally drops by a degree or two below the freezing
point of water. Frosts are common during the cold season.
Page 27
4.1.4 Wind Direction

Wind direction, which is from North-West to South-East for about 9 months
in the year and tends to have a reverse flow during 3 months of the monsoon, has
determined the basic pattern of the township.
4.1.5 Soil and Its Characteristics

The following table shows the villages of the Local Planning Area, Goindwal

history and religion as described below:
4.2.1 Goindwal: As already discussed in chapter II, the village Goindwal is

associated with Guru Angad Dev Ji and Guru Amar Dass Ji. As a result of which,
many Gurudwaras, buildings, features etc are present in and around the
settlement, where Gurus stayed and performed various religious and social
functions and the events in their lives. Besides this, there are many other
historically important features in the form of Mandirs and Dargahs.
4.2.2 Khadur Sahib: The settlement is also equally important from historical
and religious point of view like Goindwal. The village is associated with Guru
Angad Dev Ji. Here many Gurudwaras have been constructed where different
events related to the sikh history occurred during the life period of the Guru.
Moreover, Dera Kar Sewa, which is also present here, is performing so many
activities to serve the religion as well as the society.
4.2.3 Bharowal: Only one historical Gurudwara is present in this village where
Guru Angad Dev Ji stayed for some time.
4.2.4 Nagoke: Although village Nagoke is not associated with sikh history of
Gurus period except one halting place of Baba Sawan Mal during transportation of
wood from Haripur. But it is historically important because of its association with
two national freedom fighters.

4.4 Economic Characteristics

The economic factors are supreme as nothing can impede the human
occupancy of an area than its economic incompetence. Development of various
economic sectors i.e. primary, secondary and tertiary form the economic base of
the city. Modernization/up-gradation of existing industries and special provisions
for services and repair centers are pivots. This aspect is important to study in order
to make the settlement economically sustainable. Economic characteristics are
studied under the following sub headings:
Page 64
4.4.1. Economy and employment:As Goindwal is a rural settlement, so people living here do small works or
jobs to earn their living. But the economy of Local Planning Area, Goindwal is
based mainly on agricultural activity. Government provided many facilities to
develop industry in Goindwal but the industry could not be developed in this area.
Units of industries, which are working here, are not providing sufficient
employment to the residents of the area.
4.4.2 Agriculture
The major crops, which are cultivated in Local Planning Area, Goindwal, are
wheat and rice. The area under cultivated land is 10121 hec. and the Panchayat
land is around 35 hec. Moreover, around 15.4 hec. of land is considered to be
waste land, which can be developed in future. Only 1 hec. of area is under barren
land. The major sources of irrigation are tubewells and canals. Only 4 out of 19
villages are served by the canal as the source of irrigation and the rest of the
villages are served by the tubewells as the major source of irrigation. The total
wheat production in these villages is 2, 58,520 tonnes and total rice production is
88,702 tonnes. Apart from this, the basmati production is 7584 tonnes and the
production of potatoes account to be 510 tonnes whereas production of peas is
only 55 tonnes.
The major point to be noted here is that although the villages like Dhunda,
Fatehabad etc. have huge area under cultivated land i.e. 1310 hec. and 1200 hec.
respectively, but still their production of wheat and rice is very less as compared to
other villages.
4.4.3 Fishiculture
In the rural area, 1.80 hec. area is under the fish catchment area. The total
production is of 10 tonnes. However, there is no space demarcated for fishing
market. But there is an ongoing project of constructing 3 fish ponds, in the rural
area.
4.4.4 Business
Due to the construction of Beas bridge, the movement of people increased
due to which new shops were opened. The kiryana and daily needs shops are
maximum in number here. There are few shops around Gurudwara, where
religious books, utensils are sold. Some people opened up sweets shops and few of
them are involved in P.C.O.s and photography shops.
4.4.5 Service
Many people go out of the town in search of jobs. Many production centers
have been established here and people have got the employment. At present,
B.H.E.L. and many more companies have done good business here due to which
many people have been employed here.
Page 65
4.4.6 Carpentary and Blacksmith

Many carpenters and blacksmiths have their houses here. Many people do
the job of masonary and some have opened their own shops.
4.4.7 Work Force Participation

The work force refers to the workers and non workers who are engaged in
different sectors of economy which is important to study in order to know the
dependency ratio.
The table 4.12 depicts that the workers have increased in Local Planning
Area, Goindwal as the workers percentage to the total population increased from
27.02% in 1971 to 33.16% in 2001. The table 4.13 shows the trends of

4.5 Trade and Commerce

4.5.1 Traditional Trade and Commerce:
Goindwal developed as an important trading centre with significant grain
and fodder market and traders from surrounding areas settled here. Slowly and
steadily, it attained the reputation of an important halting place in between Sirhind
and Lohore where adequate facilities for stay and rest were available.
It was remunerative to sell eatables at this centre where travellers and
pilgrims used to halt. Sikh history introduces Bhai Jetha (later Guru Ram Das)
selling boiled wheat and grams here. A number of specialized shops dealing in
cloth and eatables more particularly, Boondi of Moti Chur Laddoos developed in
Guru Ka Bazaar. It is said that the potters of nearby village Khawaspur supplied
the Kujas (earthern pitchers) to pack these laddoos.
4.5.2 Modern Trade and Commerce:

Whatever trade and commerce used to exist in the traditional period is no
more continuing in the modern period. So the activities with respect to the places
have changed with the period of time. Presently, the Local Planning Area, Goindwal
lacks any type of trade and commerce which gives it importance at regional level.
There are some wholesale activities like Focal Point and purchase centre which
serve only their surrounding areas. Hierarchy of the commercial areas whether
wholesale or retail is missing here. Category wise description of the commercial
activities in the Local Planning Areas is as below:
1) Wholesale/ Godowns/ Warehousing:

a. Focal Point: There is only one Focal Point, present in the whole Local Planning
Area at village Bharowal. This focal point was established way back in the year
1978. Initially, it was used for the trade of crops seasonally. But the
construction of, the components as per its proposed layout plan Drg No.
355/78 DTP(ASR) dated 28.09.78 stopped due to some reasons. Few
construction could be completed as shown red in the map.13 before it stopped
functioning. Presently, only bank and veterinary hospital are working here but
building condition of the veterinary hospital is in poor condition. Whereas only
four constructed shops are also lying abundant. The auction platform used for
business at some point of time is also in poor condition. The construction of
shed is incomplete. Trade is no more a part of this site. Area of patwarkhana
and its surroundings is not constructed as per layout plan. So it is clear that
this Focal Point is no more serving its purpose, for what it was notified.
Page 70
Map 13 Underdeveloped Focal Point at Village Bharowal
Page 71
b. Grain/ Fruit and Vegetable Market: There are only two grain markets, one is
at Khadur Sahib and other is at Fatehabad and an open yard in Fatehabad.
Two seasonal purchase centres also function during harvesting period at
villages Verowal and Khawaspur. But there is complete absence of the
wholesale markets for fruits and vegetables.
c. Godowns: Only one site for FCI godown in village Fatehabad exists for the
storage of grains, which is not sufficient as compared to the wholesale
marketing activity and the extent of crop yield in the region.
2. Retail Shopping Zone:

It is observed that there is complete absence of hierarchy and designated
zones for the retail commercial activity. The retail shopping zones in the Local
Planning Area, Goindwal are few but still play a very considerable role in the
growth and development of Local Planning Area, Goindwal because of the religious
places here. And the need for commercial areas further increase in the form of
informal sector during the fairs and festivals. This includes the area around the
religious places and the core areas, which are the major commercial hubs of Local
Planning Area, Goindwal. Besides above, marriage palaces and other commercial
activities also exist in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal.
Although, all the villages of Local Planning Area, Goindwal have retail shops
to serve their population but the settlements Goindwal, Khadur Sahib and
Fatehabad have more number of shops to serve the population of surrounding
villages for their regional commercial needs of higher level. The shops established
around historical places at Goindwal and Khadur Sahib accommodate the needs of
tourists along with those of local population.
4.6 Industries
As mentioned in chapter II & III in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal
industrial complex is the major industrial area. In addition to this, there are some
service and light industrial units and medium, large and heavy industrial units in
the Local Planning Area, Goindwal, in the form of brick kilns, chilling centres and
other factories. The number of khadi and village manufacturing units in the Local
Planning Area, Goindwal is 94 while small scale industrial units count upto 18 and
only 8 units fall in the category of large scale industry here. Out of 197 industrial
units, 152 units have been shut down because of the failure of industrial complex
and these units majorly include engineering works, fabrication, plastic, textile etc.
There are only 45 units which are left and that mainly includes fabrication, job
work, thread etc.

Above table show that there are three types of industries in the Local
Planning Area, Goindwal that are khadi and village, manufacturing, small-scale
industries and large-scale industries. The maximum no. of units are of khadi and
village i.e. 94, which employ 202 workers. Whereas there are 18 small-scale
industries in total, which employ 4,004 workers and there are only 8 large-scale
industries which are present in Goindwal and this type of industry is employing
the maximum workers i.e. 8,785.
4.6.1 Industrial Complex:

i) Establishment:
As described earlier that the industrial complex at Goindwal was established
by Goindwal industrial and investment Corporation of Punjab Ltd. Chandigarh.
The complex was proposed to be developed in two phases. The total area of the
complex is 192.34 hec. It was notified by Punjab Government vide Notification no.
8/200/8041-B181/308 dated 20th Jan 1981. After that, the land for its
establishment has been acquired which spreads in three villages i.e. Goindwal,
Khakh and Miani as shown in the table 4.16.

A part of phase I comprises of industrial units, residential, public facilities,

organized open space and well planned road network. The utility network was also
laid down in the developed portion of the phase I. At the same time large chunk of
this phase although acquired by Government, is lying vacant.
In phase II of the complex, the proposal is for residential plots for the people
associated with the industries in the complex, but now these have been occupied
Page 73
by the private owners. Besides this, implementing the proposals of layout plan of
this phase bus stand 1.92 hec. has also been established and some area is lying
vacant in the land acquired for this phase of industrial complex. It is pertinent to
mention here that the industrial complex now is being controlled by Punjab Small
Industries and Export Corporation Ltd.
ii) Failure of the Complex

Later, due to some factors not only the development of the complex or
opening the new industrial units stopped but also the established units started
closing which resulted in the failure of industrial complex.
From the discussions held with the persons associated with GIICO,
industries department and association of the owners with District Town Planner,
Amritsar. The following reasons have been evolved for the closure of established
units;
Non availability of Local raw material which costed them high for the
production by transporting from far away places.
Non availability of marketing facilities nearby also compelled them to sell their
finished products by transporting at far off places, again resulting in the high
production cost.
As informed by the owners, the incentives and subsidies ensured to them was
withdrawn. Then owners also regretted that the power supply was not regular
which affected the quantity of production.
Backwardness of the region and location in border area did not support this
activity to flourish due to non availability of supporting infrastructure in the
nearby areas.
Terrorism in Punjab, especially, in this area is one of the biggest reasons which
discouraged the people to run or open the industrial unit.
iii) Present Situation
Due to the adverse affects on the growth of the industrial units, the overall
development of the industrial complex not only stopped but also declined. Phase
wise analysis for decline of the complex is as given below:
Page 74
a) Phase I
Map 14 Layout plan of Industrial Complex Phase I

Map 14 Layout plan of Industrial Complex Phase I
Page 75
As shown in the above layout plan of the phase I of the complex prepared by
the chief engg GIICO, Chandigarh, the total number of the industrial units
proposed was 446 while the number of proposed residential plots were 184, out of
which, only 173(43%) industrial units were established. Further, out of these
established industrial units, 88 units were shut down and only 99 (22%) units are
working here at present. Where as, out of 184 proposed residential plots, 64(35%)
are vacant and rest have been occupied by private owners.
b) Phase II
This phase of the industrial complex comprises of residential area of the
complex. Pocket wise detail of the area, proposed residential plots, occupied and
vacant out of them, has been given in table 4.17.

It shows that even out of residential area, although plotting has been done
for most of the area, only 27% are actually occupied by the residents, whereas
some of the public facilities like bus stand, schools, religious place are present
here. Well planned roads have been laid down with their proper hierarchy along
with other infrastructure. Commercial activity has not come on ground as per the
proposal.
4.6.2 Thermal Power Plant:

The proposed 2x300 MW coal based thermal power plant near Goindwal has
been proposed and construction works, thereof, have been started. The approved
site of thermal power plant was of 445.76 hectare. But the total land acquired for
thermal power plant is 435 hectare at present.
The proposed plant site is located near village Goindwal. The site falls in
o
75 0730 E to 75o1055 E longitudes and 31o2135 N to 31o2440 N latitudes at
an elevation of 220 m above mean sea level.

The Goindwal is at a distance of 1.0 km in southern direction and the

district headquarters of Tarn Taran is located at a distance of 20 km from the
proposed plant site. River Beas flows at a distance of 0.75 km E from the proposed
plant site in N to S direction, which finally joins Satluj River in down course.
The proposed plant site is well connected through road network and
northern railway line. Major roadway connecting Tarn TaranGoindwal
Kapurthala passes adjacent to the proposed plant site in southern direction.
However, the nearest railway station on broad gauge railway line is Fatehabad,
located at a distance of 6.0km W from the proposed power plant site. A railway line
is under construction between Tarn Taran and Goindwal Sahib. The Gurudwara
Baoli Sahib Gurudwara is situated in Goindwal Sahib village at a distance of 1.0
km from the site. The major industries situated in 10 km radius are BHEL valve
unit, spinning mills, flourmills etc.
4.7 Traffic and Transportation

Transport is one of the most important creations of mans creative urges. Its
role in towns and cities of varying sizes cannot be ignored. Among different systems
of transport, the contribution of road transport is significantly high. Traffic &
transportation has been considered as a function of land use planning. Roads and
streets in a city have been equated with arteries in the human being and any
obstruction in the system can create numerous complications. In this context,
traffic and transportation has emerged as the most critical issue in the effective
operation and efficient functioning of any urban centre.
While preparing the master plan of any area, it is important that a detailed
study and analysis of the existing transportation network is made, pattern of traffic
clearly identified, capacity of the network is quantified and user behavior is clearly
brought out for understanding the existing problems and bottlenecks in the system
which create road blocks in the efficient transportation of men and material. For
the Local Planning Area, Goindwal study for this aspect has been done as
described below:
4.7.1. Transport Linkages in the Medieval Period

During the 16th century, the shortest route from Lahore to Delhi was via
Lahore, Patti, Sultanpur, Noormahal, Ludhiana, Doraha, Sirhind and Delhi. During
the rainy days, this route becomes marshy and flood prone and hence it becomes
difficult to travel. But it was very famous during the remaining parts of the year
because firstly, this route was the shortest, and secondly the hay for the animals,
which were used for loading and unloading, was easily available.
The trade and commerce from Lahore to Hoshiarpur and then to Shivalik
mountainous area was done, especially the salt and the jaggery from Hoshiarpur
was transported through this route.
Page 78
The Hindus whose main pilgrim centre was Haridwar, used to travel by foot
in groups or on horses/mules through this shortest route. Similarly, the people
from west and south Punjab used to follow this route to visit Chintpurni, Mansa
Devi and Naina Devi. There was a highland area in this area to cross the river. But
there was no halting place or obstacle from Patti to Sultanpur. This place was
especially very dangerous because of wild grass in the low lying area where the
robbers used to come and rob.
By this route, the production from agriculture could have been transported
through tribes and boats on this way. This could have boosted the development of
the settlement and could have become economic generator because of which there
would have been many employment opportunities and the town could have further
developed.
By conceiving all the important commercial and administrative centres of
medieval Punjab and their inter-connecting routes in a radius of sixty miles from
Goindwal, the centrality and accessibility of the site can be well marked. Some of
the most important routes used to converge` at the site since the Grand Trunk
Road laid by Sher Shah Suri was originally in close proximity of Goindwal as it
used to link it with Lahore, Sarai Amanat Khan, Sarai Nuruddin in the Bari Doab,
and further of Sirhind, Kurukshetra, Delhi and upto Calcutta. Because of high
accessibility the ideas, philosophies and hymns of Sikhism could reach far-off
places with moving pilgrims, caravans and conveys.
4.7.2. Existing Transportation Linkages

(i) Road Linkages:Local Planning Area, Goindwal is connected by roads with other important
towns like Kapurthala, Jandiala Guru, Tarn Taran and adjacent villages. It is also
connected by rail with Beas junction. It is situated 24km from National Highway
No-15
(the
PathankotAmritsarMakhuFaridkotMaloutAbohar

The above table indicates the strong linkages of Local Planning Area,
Goindwal with important outside settlements and good connectivity of various
settlements of LPA. The roads under serial no 1 and 3 of the table connect the LPA
well with the district headquarter Tarn-Taran. The data in serial no 2 shows its
connectivity through bridge over river Beas with the towns Kapurthala, Sultanpur
Lodhi, Jalandhar and other important towns of the region which exist on this side.
The road (serial no. 4) provides the important link between the two important
settlements of the Local Planning Area i.e. Khadur Sahib and Goindwal, which also
acts as tourist circuit here. The roads (no 5 & 6) link the LPA with G.T. road (NH1),
to give it access to all the settlements of the state as well as the country, which it is
connected with. The road under serial no. 7 gives the LPA linkages to the other
settlements of surroundings and district. Serial no 8 & 9, gives access to the
industrial complex in addition to its access from Goindwal.
The respective widths and road lengths (within LPA, Goindwal) have been
mentioned in the above table.
(ii) Existing Rail Linkages

The rail linkages comprise of only one line that is from Goindwal to Beas,
which is generally known as railway bus. Moreover, there is only one trip of this
bus. Extension of this railway line is under construction between Tarn Taran and
Goindwal.

(iii) Terminals
a) Bus Terminal
There are two bus terminals in Local Planning Area, Goindwal. The bus
stand at Goindwal Sahib has an area of 1.92 hectare approximately. It is located
on the Kapurthala Road and is part of phase-II industrial complex. It has
approximately 8 counters and there are only 5 shops in the bus stand located at
Goindwal Sahib. The bus stand located at Khadur Sahib is having an area of 0.40
hec. approximately and has 8 counters and 6 shops.
b) Railway Station
There is only one railway station in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal and
that is located in the village Fatehabad.

c) Airport
Local Planning Area, Goindwal is not having any facility of Airport in Local
Planning Area and even in the district Tarn Taran there is absence of any airport.
The air transportation facility can only be availed from Raja Sansi Airport, Amritsar
district, which is 58 km away from Goindwal.
4.7.3 Registered Vehicles

The vehicles such as heavy vehicles, light vehicles and non- motorized
vehicles, which have been registered with District Transport Office, Tarn Taran.

The table 4.20 shows that the registration of heavy vehicles is getting
reduced as is seen in case of trucks which has decreased from 109 in 2006-07 to
75 in 2008-09 and the number of buses decreased from 12 to 4 from 2007-08 to
2008-09. On the contrary, the registration of light vehicles has increased, which is
seen in case of two-wheelers, has increased from 4786 to 6679 from 2004-05 to
2008-09, three wheelers increased from 3 to 42 in 2006-07 to 2008-09, which is a
great boost in the public transport and four wheelers increased from 30 in 200405 to 692 in 2008-09. Moreover, there is no private taxi service available in the
Local Planning Area, Goindwal as it is a small town. Although there are rickshaws
in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal, but there are no registered rickshaws as it is
indicated in the above data.
Page 82
4.7.4 Parking
Parking is also a problem but it is generally occasional especially during the
festival seasons. Although the parking sites are available near Gurudwaras, but
these are not sufficient enough to accommodate the parking need during festivals
and special occasions, due to which the roads leading to the historical gurdwaras
are encroached by the informally parked vehicles as well as activities, which create
bottlenecks here during the special events.
4.7.5 Bridges and Railway Crossings

i) The main bridge which connects not only the Local Planning Area, but the whole
district with the other important settlements, towns, and districts and reduces the
distances, thereof, is constructed on river Beas on Goindwal Kapurthala road.
ii) The culverts are built on all the flowing water bodies i.e. on sabhraon branch
canal, Khadur drain, patti distributory and minor. These shorten the distances
between different settlements of the Local Planning Area.
iii) Among railway crossings, crossings on Tarn TaranGoindwal road and Khadur
SahibGoindwal are manned and rest all of them are unmanned. Moreover, the
crossing point of railway line with sabhraon branch is under construction.
4.8 Infrastructural Facilities

Infrastructure is the basic requirement for better quality of life and its
adequacy and accessibility are two important ingredients and key contributors in
the upgradation and enrichment of quality of urban life, which is the primary
objective of any planned development effort. The extent and the nature of problems
faced by different towns vary by size, geographical conditions, local natural
resources, state/ regional differentials and several such factors directly or
indirectly affecting the population of cities/ towns.
4.8.1 Physical Infrastructure

i) Water Supply
Water supply has been provided to all the in-habited villages but overhead
reservoirs are not available in all the villages of Local Planning Area. The table 4.21
shows the list of villages having the water connections and number of OHRs and
their capacity respectively (refer map 16). The people, who do not have the water
connections, use ground water for drinking purposes through electric or hand
pumps.

number of facilities such as educational facilities, health facilities and others,
and maximum population then comes the village Fatehabad while Nagoke and
Verowal are next to it and Goindwal comes after all these if its historical,
religious, industrial or locational attributes are not added.

From the above table, it is clear that on different occasions, there is huge
gathering of people in Goindwal and Khadur Sahib as the major fairs and
festivals are held in Goindwal and Khadur Sahib. So the inflow of population,
which gathers on the occasions, is mentioned as shown in the table.
4.10 Environment
The overall environment of the Local Planning Area, Goindwal is good as
there is ample of agriculture land. Also the water bodies are passing through
the Local Planning Area. River Beas is passing through western parts of Local
Planning Area. But for future, it is studied in terms of the impact of proposed
thermal plant and industrial as well as other economic activities.
4.10.1 Air Environment:

In general air quality of the Local Planning Area, is good. Because of low
density and vast area under agriculture absence of large number of industrial
units as well as absence of high traffic volume. But harvesting season the air
pollution reaches to the extreme.
But seeing the future, the quality of air pollution is seen degraded if
proper measures are not taken in the light of establishment of thermal power
plant & proposal of industries.
Environment Impact Assessment report of proposed thermal power plant
shows that the expected emission of pollutants is well within the limits of
standards laid down by National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) for residential and
rural areas. A belt of 80- 100 M wide buffer is already proposed whole along the
limits of the complex.
Page 97
4.10.2 Water Environment

It is observed that water in the water bodies falling in the Local Planning
Area, Goindwal is getting polluted. Because of mixing of pollutants before
entering the river into Local Planning Area, Goindwal. Other water bodies are
also being polluted. Solid waste is also being thrown in the water bodies.
Maintenance and cleanliness is not proper and regular.
The surface water sample thus showed conformation with IS-10500
limits both chemically and bacteriological, except for higher turbidity.
4.10.3 Noise Environment

It is ensured in the above report that, during the installation of the power
plant, no significant impact is envisaged as most of the construction
equipments produce noise level below 90 dB. The noise generated is expected to
be intermittent and of short duration.
During operation, the major noise generating sources are steam turbine
with an inter source distances of about 50 m these turbines are likely to
generate noise levels of about 100 dB each.
4.10.4 Land Pollution

Due to lack of solid waste management system, the land is getting
polluted. Because the people are unnecessarily throwing the garbage here and
there. However, due to absence of latrines in the whole Local Planning Area, the
land gets polluted.
4.10.5 Soil Pollution

The soil is getting polluted in the area, as there is no sewage system
existing in the settlements. Hence, people are using septic tanks due to which
sewage water is getting percolated into the soil and therefore soil contamination
is taking place.

there is absence of any geometric pattern of the transportation network.
However, there seems to be not much problems related to the connectivity as
per present situation.

The transportation includes all traffic networks like roads, rails etc. and
the terminals related to those networks i.e. bus terminal, rail terminal. Mainly,
the transportation area comprises of roads i.e. 90.89% wherein the village
roads, Major District Roads (MDR) and Other District Roads (ODR) become the
part. Approximately, 7.42% of the area comes under the railway line. At present,
there is only one railway link between Goindwal and Beas. Less than 1% of the
transportation area comprises of the terminals such as bus and rail terminals.
There are 2 bus terminals in Local Planning Area, Goindwal which exist in
Goindwal and Khadur Sahib and only one rail terminal in village Fatehabad.

vii) Recreational:
As indicated in table no 4.31 total area under recreational is of 0.04% of
the total Local Planning Area comes under the recreational purposes. This
recreational use includes the area under parks and organized open spaces on
one side and playgrounds, stadiums etc.

viii) Agricultural:
More than 90% of the total area of Local Planning Area, Goindwal (refer
table no 4.31) comes under agriculture landuse and its allied activities. As the
major proportion of Local Planning Area, Goindwal comprises of the rural
settlements, so the majority of people living there are belong to agrarian
economy. Some of the area also fall under agricultural revenue rasta land. This
land use includes the area under agriculture, kachha roads, water bodies
plantation orchards, dairy and poultry farms and the vacant land.

PART- V.
VISUALISING THE FUTURE
As Master Plan, Goindwal is being prepared for the year 2031, so all the
calculations regarding population projections and future requirements have
been done for the year 2031. The latest existing census data regarding,
demographic, social, economic etc aspects is available for the year 2001, as
census surveys are done decade wise. Other data especially which has been
procured from different government offices is mainly current i.e. of the year
2009. Keeping in view, both the limitations, the population projections have
been made from the year 2001 whereas the year 2009 has been considered as
base year for calculating the future requirements.
5.1 Population Projections

As mentioned above, the population projections of Local Planning Area,
Goindwal have been for the year 2031, but five yearly. For projecting the future
population for the above said periods, the average growth rate of previous three
decades has been considered as future growth rate.

By Arithmetic Method:
The average five yearly growth rate of the above the three decades is = 22 = 11%
2
By Geometric Method:Similarly for the geometric method the growth rate 26% is considered for the
decades and for the projection of population for every five year 13% is taken.

Taking the average of both the methods, It is clear from the above table
that the projected population of the years 2006, 2009, 2016, 2021, 2026 and
2031 comes out to be 60275, 64019, 66943, 74730, 83426, 93137 and 103981
persons respectively.
Note:1. The population for the year 2009 has been projected because all the
data for other aspects received from various departments is for this
particular year. So to interrelate both these aspects projections of
population for this particular year have been made considering it as the
base year.
2. The above projections are only based on assumptions that the future
population of Local Planning Area shall be increased at the previous
natural growth rate. But actually, it may vary due to the upcoming
potentials because of Master Plan proposals regarding various land
uses and economic activities and also due to some unforeseen
conditions.
5.2 Requirements of Local Planning Area, Goindwal

The requirement for housing, infrastructural facilities, amenities, land
uses etc, have been calculated on the basis of five yearly slabs of projected
population. It is pertinent to mention here that the requirements calculated
below are again based on the assumption of natural population growth of the
Local Planning Area. But these may vary from time to time as per the actual
growth of population during these periods, proposals of Master Plan and actual
development on ground based on these proposals.
Page 117
5.2.1 Requirements for Housing

The housing requirements of the Local Planning Area have been
calculated for the base year of 2009, coming census year 2011 and subsequent
5 yearly periods, for their respective projected populations. Average family size
has been assumed to be of 5.5 persons, equal to that of Punjab state.

As per census 2001, the existing no of houses is 9115 units. The above
table shows the houses required according to the projected population five
yearly, which is 11640 units, 12171 units, 13587 unit, 15168 units, and 18906
units in years 2009, 2011, 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031 respectively.
5.2.2 Physical infrastructure

A key issue related to the sustainable development of Local Planning
Area, Goindwal is availability of minimum quality and quantity of physical
infrastructure as per norms and standards. The projected or expected growth of
population may indicate the inadequacies, deficiencies and severe pressure on
existing infrastructure. So it is mandatory to work out the infrastructural
requirements for the future projected population.
Although, Goindwal whose Master Plan is being prepared is a rural
settlement but the norms of UDPFI which are being adopted are for urban
settlement. Therefore the lowest ranges of these norms are being adopted for
calculations of the projected infrastructural requirements. Because some
settlements in the Local Planning Area if studied by the demographic and
economic character, may emerge as urban settlements in future, if they are
proposed with urban land uses or economic activities.
(i) Water Supply Requirements

Local Planning Area, Goindwal depends largely on ground water and river
Beas, and other running water bodies for its share of raw water for domestic,
industrial, agricultural and other purposes. For sufficient and sustainable
supply of water for all purposes, it is essential to estimate its requirement at
different points of time.
As per UDPFI guidelines, the water supply requirement is 70 liter per
capita per day. (excluding the requirement of agricultural purposes). The
following projections have been made to estimate the water to be supplied
through water supply network.

The above table reveals the requirements of water for domestic purposes,
out of which 80% shall be used for sewerage system only.
(ii) Quantum of Projected Solid Waste:

As per above norms, on an average 0.45 kg solid waste is generated per
person per day, But since the area is rural in character the standard has been
reduced to 0.3 kg solid waste produced per person per day and hence
projections for solid waste are as under:

The projected data in above table indicates that management of solid

waste is required at huge scale not only in future but at present also. This
process involves stages of waste i.e. generation, segregation and storage, waste
collection, waste transfer/transportation, treatment, recycle, reuse, recovery
and disposal. Major parts of solid waste, which are not recyclable especially silt
has to be disposed off in sanitary landfills.
5.2.3. Social Infrastructure

The quality of life in an area depends upon the availability and
accessibility to quality social infrastructure/community facilities in terms of
health, education, sports, recreational, socio-cultural, communication, security
and safety etc.
Page 119
(i) Educational Facilities

Following the UDPFI guidelines, the requirements for educational
facilities have been calculated in the following way for the projected population
of 1,03,981 persons in year 2031;

recreational club (1 hec.), 1 police station (1.5 hec.), 2 police posts (0.32 hec.)
and 1 fire stations have been projected to serve the excepted population of the
above period.
5.2.4 Gaps and additional requirements of infrastructure

As the infrastructural requirements calculated above are the year 2031,
many of the infrastructured facilities are available at present as described in
chapter IV. Thus, only part of the total required no has to be provided to fulfill
Page 121
the norms as their additional units. The calculations there of have been made
as below;

In nut shell, it is concluded that most of the existing infrastructural

facilities are inadequate and all the facilities are to be provided according to the
respective calculated values, to fulfill the present gaps and future requirements.
5.3 Land use requirements

Before proceeding for preparation of proposed land use plan of Local
Planning Area, Goindwal areas required for different purposes are worked out
on the basis of projected population made in previous paras. For this purpose
also, UDPFI guidelines have been considered as base for the calculation of
projected areas of different land uses, as no norms have been prescribed by any
organization for rural areas. Although, UDPFI guidelines are meant for urban
areas, but the projected population of Local Planning Area, Goindwal is above 1
lakh persons. So, it can be considered equal to a town for this purpose and
lower side norms of UDPFI can be applicable here, considering the rural
character of the Local Planning Area.
(i) Residential use:

For calculating the housing requirements, following assumptions have been
kept in view:

The above table indicates the area requirements for residential purposes
from now to year 2031 with 5 year slab on the basis of projected populations.
Note:
The number of households in the above table has been calculated based on
the assumed family size of 5.5 members per family. Further assumption is
made to accommodate one family per plot. The area of residential use has
been calculated by the multiplying the area of one plot with the number of
families.
Keeping in view the present and future characters of the area, it is assumed
that most of the residential development will be in the shape of plotted
development.
The gross residential area has been calculated by adding 50% more area to
net residential area for provision of roads, parks, convenient shopping area,
health, educational and utilities etc.
The proposed residential area includes the requirements of all the sections
of the society on average.
(ii)
Commercial Use
As mentioned in UDPFI guidelines (page 147), the area under commercial

use should be 2-3% of the area keeping this in mind, the requirements for
commercial area in Local Planning Area, Goindwal have been calculated as
11880 hec. Taking into consideration, the tourist potential in the Local Planning
Area, the upper range of the above norm shall be taken to calculate the
requirements for commercial area here.
So requirement of commercial area comes out to be = 3 x 11880= 356.40 hec.
100
Due to absence of designated commercial areas/zones in Local Planning
Area, share of existing commercial area is only 0.21 % so 331.07 hec. additional
commercial area is required to fulfill the requirements of local population and
tourists.

(iii) Requirements for Industrial Land use:As per UDPFI guidelines, 10-12% area is required for industrial land use.
Keeping in view the past character of Goindwal, again upper range of the norms
has been considered.
Thus 12% of the total area of LPA shall be proposed for industrial use
= 12 x 11880 hec.=
1425.60 hec.
100
But 84.98 hec. area is already under Industrial land use, so 1340.62 hec.
additional area for this use is required.
IV) Recreational facilities

As per UDPFI, norms, area requirement for recreational land use is
proposed to be from 12-15% for small towns. Taking into consideration the
rural character of the local planning area, calculation is being done by taking its
lower large i.e. 12% of total area. In this way, required area for recreational land
use comes out to be 1425.60 hectare.
(V) Requirement for Traffic and Transportation

As it has already been discussed in detail in earlier there are three main
roads merging at Local Planning Area, Goindwal town at different points. At
present the traffic problem of Local Planning Area is not acute as compared to
other major cities of Punjab but in future with the increase in population and
economic activities of the area and when the area will be developed as tourist
spot, from religious point of view, the main roads of the town will be over
loaded. On the basis of broad studies conducted and for long term planning
Page 125
there is need for providing various link and upgradation of existing where the
potential of residential and industrial development is more. Following the
UDPFI norms, the area requirements for this land use comes out to be 1188
hectare (10% of total area of LPA).
(vi) Land required for Social Infrastructure:The land requirement of social infrastructure for Health, Police, Fire,
Education and Recreational facilities for Local Planning Area, Goindwal has
been already calculated in para 5.2.3.
5.4 Constitution of Think Tank

Following the instructions of Chief Secretary, Punjab issued by D.O.
Letter Dated 2-12-2008 received vide Chief Town Planner, Punjabs endst No.
9526-45 CTP(Pb)/SP 135 Dated 10-12-08, the Think Tank committee was
formulated under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner, Tarn Taran and
the convening of District Town Planner, Amritsar. Its first meeting was held at
the office of Deputy Commissioner, Tarn Taran on Dated 04.06.2009. Besides
various officials of the district administration, Tarn Taran, the representatives of
gurdwaras at Goindwal Sahib and Khadur as well as kar sewa, Khadur Sahib
participated in this meeting and contributed with their valuable officials and
personal views and suggestions related with the preparation of Master Plan,
Goindwal. Deputy Commissioner, Tarn Taran also instructed to formulate the
sub-groups to discuss the various aspects elaborately. So, the District Town
Planner, Amritsar contacted various members of the Think Tank personally or
through her representative for any additional information and clarification
regarding the data supplied and the views/suggestions given by them.
5.5 Vision
Keeping in view the requirements calculated for different elements of
developments and facility index, the proposed settlement hierarchy of Local
Planning Area, Goindwal has been worked out for the establishment of different
land uses and activities in different settlements. For selection of settlements for
promotion of different activities in them has also been made taking into
consideration their past and present characteristics. Three settlements i.e.
Page 126
Goindwal, Khadur Sahib and Fatehbad have been selected for these purposes
(refer map 25) detail is given below;
Goindwal
Religious & Recreational, Tourism, Industrial
Khadur Sahib
Religious, Educational and Administrative
Fatehabad
Rural Marketing hub.
(i) Goindwal
(a) Keeping in view the historical/religious as well as physiographic potential
Goindwal is decided to develop as religious as well as recreational tourism
hub in the Local Planning Area.
(b) Presence of Industrial complex with its developed area and un-developed
land acquired for the development of industries here, Goindwal finds a
strong base to be chosen for the promotion of industrial activity in the Local
Planning Area.
(ii) Khadur Sahib:

(a) In the same way, considering the presence of historical/religious importance
places in Khadur Sahib, it is also considered to be promoted parallely as
tourist spot for religious tourism.
(b) Gurmukhi Lipi has its roots in Khadur Sahib as it was its birth place. Guru
Ajgad Dev Ji used to teach Gurmukhi to the children in Khadur Sahib. So its
historical significance reflects it as an educational centre. Presently also, it
has important educational institutes which are serving the whole region. So,
this settlement is proposed to be developed as an institutional hub.
Page 127
Guru Angad Dev Ji Introduced Punjabi Lipi at Khadur Sahib
(c) On the same time, Khadur Sahib is tehsil as well as block level headquarter
and other important government offices are also present here. So, Khadur
Sahib is decided to be proposed as administratively important settlement in
the Local Planning Area, Goindwal.
(iii) Fatehabad
Watching the market commercial character of the settlements, which
serves not only the adjoining villages but region at large, it is proposed to be
developed as rural trade centre, which will act as the marketing centre for the
rural population in its surroundings.

PART VI
THE MASTER PLAN, GOINDWAL
6.1 Components of the Master Plan, Goindwal
The Master Plan is an important instrument for guiding and regulating
development of a area over a period of time, contributing to planned
development both conceptually and operationally, it covers the following
components;
i.
The master plan shall contain proposals and allocation of land for
various uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, recreational,
public/semi-public, traffic and transportation etc.
ii.
It proposes a network of major roads to have better traffic/circulation

system for the present and the future.
iii.
It also identifies areas required to be preserved and conserved and

development of areas of natural scenery and landscape together with
preservation of features, structures or places of historical, architectural
interest and environmental value.
iv.
It shall include zoning regulations and development controls for

regulating development within each zone.
6.2 Objectives of Master Plan, Goindwal

The long-term vision and the mission statements would require spatial
land use planning, infrastructural planning, financing and implementation,
effective management and operation of infrastructure services, and regulating
and enforcing plan proposals. The main goal of the Master Plan is to create
spatial landuse planning framework to achieve the vision of LPA, Goindwal.
Following objectives have been framed for preparing the Master Plan, Goindwal:
1.
To promote the tourism and to develop the related infrastructural facilities

to promote the area as a tourist attraction.
2.
To identify the man made and natural heritage and to exploit the natural
potential for the recreational activities to promote the recreational tourism.
3.
To effectively plan and manage the traffic and transportation routes mainly
during fairs and festivals by creating tourist circuit between the important
historical and religious places within Local Planning Area, Goindwal.
4.
To minimize haphazard, unplanned and sub standard growth and

development of the LPA and to achieve planned growth to create healthy
environment by making land allocation in environment friendly manner.
5.
To promote the multi-nodal development through planned dispersal of

employment-generating activities.
Page 130
6.
To strengthen the basic infrastructure and to provide the allied activities

favourable for the revival of industries which will help in the development
of economic base of the Local Planning Area.
7.
To make the lands available for public purposes and to provide adequate
physical as well as social infrastructure and distribute it uniformly and
rationally to ensure better livability and healthy living environment.
8.
To minimize travels within the Local Planning Area by creating selfcontained and self-sufficient communities and by maintaining the workplace relationship.
9.
To plan L.P.A. Goindwal as an integral and prime unit with strong forward
as well as backward linkages and to provide efficient transportation
network, so as to ensure safety and mobility of traffic within and outside
Local Planning Area and intra city traffic and to upgrade the road network
of L.P.A., by proposing a well defined system of the road hierarchy.
10. To provide the adequate parking spaces in terms of their location and
space as an integral part of the religious, historical, recreational,
commercial, industrial and institution planning and development process.
11. Imposition of zoning and other regulatory measures to control the
unregulated and haphazard development in the various landuse zones.
12. To provide eco-friendly environment in the light of proposed thermal power
plant and industries in Local Planning Area.
6.3 Scope of the Master Plan, Goindwal

Master Plan, Goindwal comprises of the following main components:
(i)
Proposed Land Use Plan and Transport Network.
(ii)
Zoning Regulations
The component (i) shall include the different areas and proposed land
uses/zones, hierarchical proposals for road and rail network, whereas

component (ii) covers permissibility and non-permissibility of compatible and
non-compatible uses respectively and development controls for various
activities/land uses.
Since the proposals given in the Master Plan are very detailed and down to
zonal level, separate zonal development plan shall not be prepared for Local
Planning Area, Goindwal.
6.4 Planning Considerations for Master Plan, Goindwal:

In the light of above objectives, the proposals for various land uses and
activities in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal have been given with the
following considerations:
(i)
Existing Landuse plan drawing no DTP (A) 5/2009 Dated 29-10-2009

(see map No 26) has been taken as the base for the preparation of Master
Page 131
Plan and its analysis given in chapter IV has also been taken into
consideration while proposing the future land uses and activities.
(ii)
The past and present status and characteristics of the settlements in the
Local Planning Area have been considered to propose the land uses in
and around these settlements.
(iii)
The existing land built up areas mainly have been kept as such and new
proposals have been made in the light of existing set up and physical
features existing in the Local Planning Area.
(iv)
As per section 80 of The Punjab Regional and Town Planning

Development Act (amended) 2006, the act is not applicable in the lal lakir
areas of the rural settlement so they have not been touched with and no
physical change and new proposal is given in the areas falling within the
limits of lal lakir boundaries of the villages falling in Local Planning Area,
Goindwal.
(v)
As most of the historical places/land marks fall in the lal lakir areas of
their respective villages, so no physical proposals or development controls
are given for such places but only tourist facilities are being provided for
them as near to them as possible.
(vi)
Land allocation for various land uses has been made in such a way that
residential areas are given in proximity of the work areas like industrial
area, thermal plant, institutional area and rural marketing centre.
(vii)
Well-defined zones are earmarked for various land uses to control the
haphazard and unregulated development in the Local Planning Area.
(viii)
Taking into consideration the nature of present traffic, its expected future
inflow and the status of the settlements to which these are connected,
the hierarchical status is given to each road and their road widths and
cross-sections are proposed in proportion to their respective hierarchy.
(ix)
Road linkages and traffic routes are proposed taking into consideration
the religious areas, other activity areas and the halting areas for the
vehicles.
(x)
As the maximum inflow of the tourists is more during fairs and festivals,
which are held in the religious gurudwaras at Khadur Sahib and
Goindwal, the parking facilities are required maximum during these days
only. So to avoid the under utilization, misuse and encroachment of the
proposed parking areas, these are further allowed to be used by the
recreational tourists and the administrative/political/social gatherings as
well.
(xi)
The site for recreational tourism is selected in such a way that the
underutilized but potential areas falling between the river Beas and
stagnant water body near Goindwal shall be used for this purpose.
Page 132
(xii)
To make each component of the Local Planning Area environment

friendly, the land use components have been provided in such a way that
they are compatible to each other, where compatibility factor reduces, the
consideration of green belt proposed within thermal power plant site is
taken and green buffer has been provided to separate industries and
logistic park from village settlements, existing built up area and proposed
residential areas.
(xiii)
The existing physical features, roads, revenue rastas and the musteel
boundary have been taken in consideration while earmarking various
land use zones so that it is easy to implement the proposal on ground.
(xiv)
In the same way, for the upgradation of the roads and to generate the
links where these are missing, the existing road infrastructure and
revenue
rastas
have
been
preferably
utilized
to
minimize
the
complications and cost of the acquisition process for this purpose.

(xv)
Permissibility and non-permissibility of various activities in different land

use zones shall be clearly indicated through the zoning regulations.
6.5 Proposed Landuse Plan, Goindwal

After going through the detailed studies, pertaining to Local Planning
Area, conducted by the office of District Town Planner, Amritsar and
discussions held at different levels within Department of Town and Country
Planning, Punjab as well as Think Tank and also based on analysis,
assumptions and projected population of L.P.A., Goindwal, the proposed land
use plan 2031 has been prepared, in which different land use zones have been
earmarked
such
as
residential,
commercial,
industrial,
institutional,
recreational, public uses and agricultural etc.

After examining the various possibilities, the aforesaid land use
categories have been adopted for the proposed land use plan. The other
concerned aspects of these different land uses have been detailed out in the
following sub-heads. The proposals & landuses mentioned below may be read
with Zoning Regulations, specified later in the chapter. Since the proposals of
master plan are very detailed and down to the zonal level, separate Zonal
Development Plans shall not be prepared for the Local Planning Area, Goindwal.
It is pertinent to mention here that land use proposals are based on
requirements but the exact area calculated for requirements has not been
followed while proposing each land use, i.e. the proposed area for each land use
varies actually from requirements due to some factors, which are given below:
(i)
The requirements of various land uses of LPA, Goindwal have been

calculated based on the norms of Urban Development Plan Formulation
and Implementation (UDPFI) Guidelines for small towns. But in Local
Planning Area, Goindwal no settlement is of the level of even small town
Page 133
i.e. all the settlements falling in LPA are rural. Therefore, the areas under
proposals may vary from calculated requirements.
(ii)
The concept given in the vision part of the chapter also affects the actual
requirements of different activities, as in this part it has been decided to
promote prominent settlements of Local Planning Area for different
activities. This factor is also responsible for the variation of actually
proposed areas from their calculated requirements.
(iii)
As mentioned in planning considerations part, while earmarking various

land uses the revenue rastas or physical features have been kept into
mind, so the areas designated for various land uses may vary while giving
the practical shape to these zones.
(iv)
Although, the land uses could have been earmarked in smaller areas for
calculated requirements, which are taken as base but actually these have
been earmarked in comparatively larger areas. This approach has been
adopted to cover all the potential sites, where any type of development can
take place in later storage under the influence of landuses in its vicinity.
In this way, the effort has been made to check the un-regulated and
haphazard growth.
6.5.1. Distribution of Proposed Landuses:As discussed earlier in the chapter, the existing pattern of settlement
structure has been broadly adopted while preparing proposed landuse plan of
LPA, Goindwal, in which pattern of continuous growth of Goindwal and other
important settlements spreading over adjoining areas has been kept in view,
while formulating proposed landuse plan and proposed road network of Local
Planning Area, Goindwal as shown in proposed landuse plan of Local Planning
Area, Goindwal Drg. No. DTP (A) 5/2010 Dated 15-3-2010.

It is clear from the table 6.1 and fig 6.1, that more than 70% of the total
area of Local Planning Area has been proposed for agriculture and allied
activities, whereas the share of each proposed urban land use is less than 30%.
In addition to this, map 26 shows that the urban land uses as well as tourist
and economic activities are mainly proposed to be distributed in and around
three settlements i.e. Goindwal, Khadur Sahib and Fatehabad.
It is also important to mention here that the landuses proposed as above
have been divided into various zones from Z-1 to Z-19, for their better
Page 136
identification even by the non-technical persons and non-professionals. The

detail of the proposed land uses and their zones is given below:
6.5.2 Residential:Residential area is a major component of any developed area, so in Local

Planning Area, Goindwal also, proposals for residential areas have been given
the prime priority as no other use is complete without residential use in or
around it. The proposals for residential from have been given basically in three
forms i.e. Newly proposed residential areas, zones, existing/expanded village
abadis outside Lal Lakir and village abadis within lal lakir. The proportion of
each of these types of residential land use is mentioned in table 6.2. In proposal
part of Local Planning Area, Goindwal Drg No. DTP(A) 5/2010 dated 15-3-2010,
(map 26) the residential areas/ zones have been proposed in the following ways
and the other uses compatible with these and their respective permissible zones
have been mentioned in the Zoning Regulations part.

(i)
Proposed Residential Areas/zones (Z-2, Z-8, Z-10 & Z-15):- The

prime areas in terms of their proximity to important routes and activity
areas, the above zones have been proposed to be developed as residential
Page 137
zones with population density of 100 PPH. The description of each such
zone is given below:a) Z-2 : - This zone falls in the revenue boundaries of the village Khadur
Sahib and is physically bounded in north by Z-3 by settlement of
village Khadur Sahib and existing Khadur Sahib-Alampur road in east
and south with proposed 80 wide road along Khadur drain and in west
along existing revenue rastas from musteel no 34 downward upto
musteel no. 175.
This zone has been chosen for such proposal due to its proximity to the
proposed institutional cum residential zone (Z-1), to maintain the work
place relationship. Moreover, this zone falls on both sides of TarnTaran-Khadur Sahib-Goindwal road, so this area has a natural
tendency of development. As per table 6.2 area of this zone as 220hec.
b) Z-8:- This zone falls within the revenue boundaries of village
Fatehabad. It is bounded by existing revenue rastas from three sides
and Sabhraon branch canal in its west, which constitutes an area of
109 hec. The criteria for earmarking this zone is to maintain work place
relationship in the light of proposed rural marketing centre and existing
and proposed wholesale activity nearby.
c) Z-10:- This zone has been earmarked within the revenue boundaries of
village Goindwal-Akbarpur and Hansawala and is bounded by existing
approach road to village Hansawala in its northern direction, by
Goindwal-Kapurthala road in its south-east side, by part of Z-16 in
South and Z-17 & Z-9 in west.
This site has been earmarked for such proposal again taking into
consideration the workplace relationship with thermal power plant as
well as existing and proposed industrial areas. This site has a great
potential of development in future due to its locational advantage with
above features and the existing settlements and abutting on the
important Goindwal-Kapurthala and Tarn-Taran-Goindwal roads. Area
of this pocket is 260 hec.
d) Z-15:- This zone covers the proposed industrial housing and area lying
vacant in existing built up area of Goindwal adjoining it. This area has
potential to be developed for residential purposes due to its locational
potential and proximity to industrial area. In the industrial housing
part of this zones, plotted development is already existing to some
extent. This zone falls in the revenue limits of village GoindwalAkbarpur and its area is 38 hec.
(ii) Existing village abadis outside Lal Lakir.

For the compact and organized growth of villages falling in Local Planning
Area, Goindwal, the extended belts around these settlements are proposed. This
proposal has been given in two forms i.e. physical and regulatory, the detail is
given below:
Page 138
(a) Physical extension: - In the light of proximity of the villages

Jhander and Dhunda with the proposed industrial areas (Z-16) and
(Z-17), and village Khawaspur with the proposed Rural Marketing
zone (Z-6), the extended belts around these villages have been
shown on the proposed landuse plan of LPA, Goindwal. This
provision has been made with the vision of catering the housing
needs of people belonging to economically weaker sections, working
in industrial and rural marketing areas. The activities permissible
within these extended areas shall be discussed in zoning regulations
part of this chapter.
The detail of these proposed expansions is given as below: Village Khawaspur :- Expansion of this village is proposed to be developed in
areas of musteel no 55, 66, 72 and 80 of village Khawaspur and musteel no
24 of village Fatehabad.
Village Jhander:- Expansion of their village is proposed in areas of musteel
no 30, 31, 35, 36 of village Jhander and musteel no 1 of village Khakh.
Village Dhunda:- Expansion of this village is proposed in the areas of musteel
no 57, 58, 59, 63, 64, 65, 77, 79, 87, 88 and 89 of village Dhunda. Besides
these the existing built up extended beyond these musteels have been
retained as such.
The ancillary or allied activities which are permissible within these areas
shall be discussed in zoning regulations part of this chapter. Area under this
land uses calculated as 273 hec.
(b) Extension of villages under regulatory measures: - The extension of
villages which are not covered under the physical proposals of various
land uses in proposed land use plan has been proposed under
regulatory measures. This extension is permissible within their
surrounding areas of agriculture zone. The extent upto which these
areas can be developed for residential and its ancillary uses as an
extension of their existing settlement, is finalized on the basis of the
projected population for year 2031. The villages with projected
population (2031) upto 2000 persons are proposed to be developed upto
50 m around its phirni or lal lakir. This distance is kept 100 m and 200
m for the settlements of villages having projected population (2031) from
2000-5000 persons and more than 5000 persons respectively. Any
compatible development can take place in such areas with the previous
permission of competent authority. The description of controls and
regulations in such areas is given in zoning regulations part. The village
wise description of this proposal is given in the table below:-

Notes: The Villages covered under above table excludes the villages which have been
covered under para 6.5.2 (ii) (a) as well as the villages which have been surrounded by
the proposed landuse zone from all their four sides i.e. Goindwal-Akbarpur & Khadur
Sahib.
(ii)
Existing Village abadis within Lal Lakir:In LPA, Goindwal total area proposed under such use comes out to be 314
hec, (refer table 6.3) which is same as its existing quantum. Lal Lakir
exists in 11 out of total 19 villages of the Local Planning Area. In this part
of residential areas, no physical proposals or development control
regulations have been proposed in Master Plan, Goindwal rather special
zoning regulations shall be prepared for the development and regulation of
the areas falling within lal lakir or phirni of the villages falling in LPA,
Goindwal, because of the reason mentioned in para 6.4 (iv).
6.5.3 Commercial:The major commercial activity which is proposed in land use plan of the
Local Planning Area, Goindwal is of the nature of whole sale activities like rural
marketing centre, wholesale markets (mandis), godowns & warehousing and
Logistic park etc. As per table 6.1, the total area under this use is 208 hec. The
distribution of the wholesale commercial activities proposed in the Local
Planning Area are as given below:

Wholesale/Godowns/warehousing:- In proposal part of Master Plan,
Goindwal, the existing Mandi at Khadur Sahib, as well as existing mandi,
open yard and FCI godowns at Fatehabad have been accommodated as
such. But as mentioned in para 4.5.2 (1) the under developed and nonfunctioning Focal Point at village Bharowal is proposed to be closed. The
land acquired for it can be used for other permissible public
uses/activities. The detail of the newly proposed sites is given below.
a) Z-5:- This site falls in Khadur Sahib village and covers areas of musteel no
18, 19 and 20 musteel no 29, 30 and 53 upto existing Khadur Sahib-Nagoke
road and constitutes an area of 28 hec.
b) Z-7 :- This zone falls in revenue boundaries of village Fatehabad and is
bounded by existing built up in west, proposed 80 wide road in South-west,
i)
Page 141
Southern parts of musteel 37 and 38 in South, boundary of proposed

residential in east and existing built up and Tarntaran-Goindwal road in its
north. It includes areas of existing Mandi and sub-yard and constitutes an
area of 14 hec. This proposal has been given to accommodate and expand
the present activity at this site and due to nearness to the site of Rural
Marketing Centre.
iii) Logistic Park (Z-9):The major motive of proposing this zone at the particular site is to
facilitate the warehousing and transportation activity, which is the inseparable
part of industrial land use. The zone is also easily accessible from the site of
Rural Marketing centre (Z-6) at Fatehabad through newly proposed 80 wide
road and then through Tarn-Taran-Goindwal Road. As the logistic activities
generate allot of traffic, so it is proposed to be develop near the railway station,
so that fast turn over storage and transportation and distribution of goods can
be done efficiently.
The zone is bounded by existing railway line in north-western side, by
Tarntaran-Goindwal road in north-east, by eastern edge of musteel no 18 and
22 of village Goindwal-Akbarpur in its east and Southern edge of musteel no 22
of Goindwal. Akbarpur as well as musteel Southern edge of musteel no 12, 11,
10, 9 & 8 of village Jhander. This site is proposed to have warehousing and
truck terminal along with their allied activities, in the light of which following
activities or functions are proposed or permitted in this zones have indicated in
table 6.13.
iv) Retail Shopping:- The sites for the retail shopping centre/areas have not
been earmarked in the proposal part, rather these shall be covered in the zoning
regulations as per their permissible zones.
v) Informal Commercial Activity: - Sites for the informal commercial activity
have also not been proposed in proposal part of the Master Plan, Goindwal, as
these are not much needed in this area, rather its requirement arises mainly at
the time of fairs & festivals only. The permissible areas/sites and zones for
these activities shall be described in zoning regulations part.
6.5.4 Industrial:As concluded in the Part-IV that the industrial complex established in
Goindwal could not run successfully for a long span of time. Its development
not only stopped, but declined due to various factors mentioned in the above
part. But in the proposal part of the Master Plan, Goindwal, the development of
industry has been given major priority after the religious tourism. Because
development of any region or area is directly proportional to the economic
activities present and expected here. Mere earmarking of the land uses cannot
help in developing the areas, rather these should be encouraged to develop as
per given proposals by inviting the economic activities. With this view, revival of
industrial complex and proposal of additional area for industry have been
proposed along with proposing the policy matter to make it successful.
Page 142
According to data in table 6.5, the total area proposed under this use is 884
hec. The detail of areas proposed for industry is given below:

This zone has been proposed mainly in already acquired land for
industrial complex with expansion of area in Southern direction upto lower edge
of musteel no 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 & 37 of village Khakh. The total area of this
zone is 286 hec (refer table 6.5) The zone falls in the revenue areas of villages
Goindwal, Akbarpur, Miani, Khakh and Jhander. The industries already
established constructed residential units and other public & semi public
buildings have been retained in this zone as a part of industrial complex and
permissible uses have been covered in zoning regulation as a part of this
chapter.
ii)
Large and Medium Scale Industry (Z-17):-
It has been proposed in west to the Z-16. It is bounded by part of Logistic

park (Z-9) and proposed residential zone (Z-10) in north, again by part of Z-10
and Z-16 in east and proposed 80 wide round in South & West. Its area 171
hec, falls in the revenue boundaries of villages Goindwal-Akbarpur, Jhander,
Khakh and Dhunda.
Page 143
iii) Proposed Thermal Power Plant

The proposal for the development of proposed thermal power plant is
retained as such as it is proposed by the concerned department and no new
physical alteration or change is being proposed within its site. Its site has been
tentatively earmarked on Proposed Land Use Plan, Goindwal. (maps26) The
exact site is not possible to earmark here as the Existing Land use Plan
Drawing No DTP (A) 5/2009 Dated 20-10-2009 is not on khasra numbers. It is
proposed to be planned as self sufficient unit. The environmental
considerations, while proposing other sites and features in the Master Plan have
been taken care of. The additional infrastructure in the form road providing
better transportation facilities for loading/unloading and working people, has
been proposed in the Master Plan.
(iv) Industrial Policy: As this area is economically backward due to its
proximity to border and locational disadvantages, with the successful
revival/establishment of these zones, the economy of not only the Local
Planning Area but of the whole region can be enhanced. But as already
discussed, the establishment of the industry is not only a physical phenomenon
but it cannot be successfully run without some good economic support. Besides
the above physical proposals for industries, the Government Policy has also
recommended for industrial zones, which can be as given below:
- The kind of industry to be promoted here which can use the locally available
agriculture products as raw material in the form of crop yields especially
wheat, rice and oil to some extent.
- Low cost marketing facilities should be provided for the sale of their finished
products.
- Economic incentives should be given to the owners.
- Power supply and other infrastructural facilities should be provided to the
maximum required extent.
v) Other Industrial Units:- The permissibility/non permissibility for other

industrial units in their respective zones shall be covered in zoning regulation
part.
6.5.5 Public/Semi-Public:As already discussed, many of the public/semi-public facilities are

available in the Local Planning Area, Goindwal but these are not sited as per
planning techniques. So, to propose and distribute these as per their nature
and characteristics and provide the additional facilities in this Local Planning
Area, various zones have been earmarked for this purpose as discussed below:

i) Proposed Institutional cum Residential zone (Z-1):Keeping in view the inherent characteristics of the settlement, this zone
has been proposed to promote the technical and higher educational facilities in
the Local Planning Area. Area of this zone is 252 hec as mentioned in table 6.6
and it partly covers revenue areas of villages Khadur Sahib and Alia. It is
physically bounded by common revenue limits of villages Khadur Sahib and
Nagoke in north-east, proposed 80 wide road along Khadur drain in east,
Khadur Sahib-Alampur road in south and existing settlement of Khadur Sahib
in west while Nagoke-Khadur Sahib road in north-western sides. It includes the
areas of existing Guru Angad Dev College and ITI.
The basic purpose of proposing this zone with mix land uses of
institutional and residential is to promote the higher and technical educational
facilities but without the risk of underdevelopment of this zone. Moreover, if
institutes of the above level practically do not come here for establishment, due
to any unforeseen reason, it can be developed otherwise. The other uses, which
shall be permissible in this zone, shall be discussed in zoning regulations in
detail.
Page 145
(ii) Public & Semi Public Landuse:This kind of activities are proposed in two pre-dominant settlements of
Local Planning Area i.e. Goindwal & Khadur Sahib. The description of each of
these two proposed sites is given as below:
(a) Administrative cum Public/Semi-Public (Z-4) :In the light of the administrative (tehsils & block headquarter) status of
the Khadur Sahib, this zone has been earmarked for the development of
administrative and other similar public/semi-public activities. This area falls in
part of musteel 51 of Mughlani, musteel 31 and part of musteel 52 of Khadur
Sahib lying vacant behind the existing built up. The site is suitable to be
developed as per given proposal as it is situated exactly opposite to the existing
Bus stand and has approach from Goindwal-Khadur Sahib and Khadur SahibKhilchian road. The activities permissible in this zone are discussed in zoning
regulation part. It partly falls in villages Khadur Sahib and Muglani. Its area is
17 hec as per the table 6.6.
(b) Govt./Semi- Govt./Public offices (Z-14):This zone measuring area of 8 hec as per table 6.6 is bounded by existing
built up, service and light industry and water body on all its three sides. It is
proposed to provide the public/semi-public facilities for Goindwal and falls in
village Goindwal-Akbarpur and Miani. Goindwal being an important settlement
in the region requires public facility buildings to serve its surrounding influence
area. The activities permissible in this zone shall be described in the zoning
regulations.
(iii) Public Facilities/Utilities:In indicated in para 4.11 of part IV, there are no big chunks of
government land available in the whole LPA except one site of 12.22 hec in
village Goindwal-Akbarpur, which falls in proposed river front recreational zone
(Z-13) and locationally, it is not suitable for the proposal of public utility sites.
Hence, land under private ownerships have been proposed for this purposes.
Two sites for establishment of public utilities have been earmarked in the
Local Planning Area, Goindwal as follows:
a) Z-11:- The another one is Z-11, which falls in between proposed site of
thermal power plant, residential zone Z-10 and Goindwal-Kapurthala road.
This site is proposed mainly for electric-substation with the view of
requirement of additional electric supply for development works of thermal
power plant. Area of the site is 5 hec. Other activities permissible in this
zone shall be discussed in table 6.13
b) Z-18:- This site is proposed to be developed as disposal treatment/recycling
site for solid waste and sewage etc. From the discussions of DTP, Amritsar
with the officers of PSEB, Tarn Taran it is concluded that there is additional
load of electricity at present in village Dhunda side. So in the light of
proposals of industries on this side in Master Plan, Goindwal, this
requirement further increases because of its increased demand for industrial
Page 146
area. Therefore, to meet the future requirements of electricity demand, the

electric sub-station is also proposed in this side. Besides this, as required in
future, any other similar activity is also permitted to come in this site. The
activities permissible in this zone in table 6.13 and area under this zone 14
hec.
(iv) Protected monuments:In Local Planning Area, Goindwal there exists one historical monument
in village Fatehabad which has been declared as protected monument by
Archeological Survey of India. As per guidelines of this department, there are
instruction regarding prohibiting constructions/ mining operations upto a
distance of 100m in prohibited area and 200m further beyond it in regulated
area from the protection limits of the monuments. But this protected
monuments as well as 100 m prohibited and 200m regulated area fall in the lal
lakir area of village Fatehabad. So no regulatory or prohibitory measures have
been proposed in Master Plan, Goindwal at this stage rather such proposal shall
be descriptively given in zoning regulations of lal lakir areas which are proposed
to prepared separately.
(v) Others Public/Semi-Public facilities:No special zones have been earmarked for other public/semi public uses
rather the journal educational facilities, medical facilities, community facilities,
social cultural & religious facilities and public services facilities & utilities are
covered in zoning regulations part and detail of these is given there w.r.t.
permissibility or non-permissibility of these facilities in various zones.
6.5.6 Traffic and Transportation:As already discussed in detail in study part that in Local Planning Area,
Goindwal the existing traffic and transportation network is not geometric in
pattern but is serving the region well as per its present requirements upto the
satisfactory level. But taking into consideration the future population
projections, proposed land uses and expected no of religious as well as
recreational tourism in future, the traffic and transportation network has to be
strengthened to cope up the future requirements.
Transportation system is proposed in such a way to provide an
integrated, safe and efficient system for transportation of people and goods. The
system is intended to meet the projected travel demands in that area. The road
and rail networks occupy the significant roles in the transport sector in LPA,
Goindwal. The LPA, Goindwal already has good access through roads. The
condition of the existing roads is also good. But the upgradation and widening
of roads is required to meet the future requirements. The maximum use of
existing roads and revenue rastas is made while proposing the road network to
avoid or minimize the land acquisition cost and process. The table 6.7 shows
the distribution of breakup of various elements of traffic and transportation.

(i) Road Network

Entire Local Planning Area, Goindwal is proposed to be served by well
defined road hierarchy in order to cater the traffic needs of the Local Planning
Area population especially to visit them from living areas to work areas and vice
versa as well as to facilitate the tourists. This would include redefining of
existing road network and creating the new network, wherever necessary.
The proposed road network for Local Planning Area, Goindwal has been
developed in concurrently with its proposed land use pattern. The proposals are
mainly of following four types:
a) Upgradation of Existing Roads: - Upgradation of various existing roads has
been proposed to fulfill the future requirements of the LPA in terms of its
traffic and transportation needs. The proposal of upgradation of existing
roads avoids the acquisition process and cost to some extent, although this
proposal does not provide a geometric shape to the road network in the LPA,
Goindwal.

provides the link to the
proposed Logistic Park and the
industrial areas.
(c) Sector Roads: - Sector roads within each zone have been proposed in the
proposed land use map as no zonal development plans are being prepared for
this Master Plan. Roads of 80 (24m) and 60 (18m) width have been earmarked
in proposed land use plan, while earmarking 80 or 60 wide sector roads, the
Page 150
formation of closed circuits/loops, existence of road network and revenue rastas

have been taken into consideration.
(d) Cross-sections:- As discussed above, roads with road width of 100, 80 &
60 respectively have been proposed. Besides this, minimum 40 wide roads
have been made permissible in various landuse zones designated in Local
Planning Area, Goindwal. These roads are proposed to be developed with well
designated cross-sections to give them good aseptic look. The cross sections of
roads proposed or permissible as mentioned in above are given below:

(ii) Railway Network:The existing railway Goindwal-Beas railway has been retained as such in
Master Plan, Goindwal. Its extended part upto Tarntaran, which is under
construction is also kept as such. In addition to it, in future, if any railway link
including link to thermal power plant permissible to development in agriculture
zone.
(iii) Terminals:a) Bus Terminals: - As the Existing Landuse Plan-Goindwal (2009) (map
24) shows that, there are two bus terminals in the Local Planning Area. i.e. one
is at Goindwal and other in Khadur Sahib. Both the terminals are proposed to
be kept on the same site with the same size, as there is no proposal of shifting
of these bus stands given due to the following reasons:,
Both these bus terminals are located at central locations of the respective
settlements.
Both are having good approach on main roads leading to their respective
settlements and other important settlements outside the LPA.
If required in futures the bus terminus at Khadur Sahib is allowed to be

expanded within area of Z-1 and bus terminus at Goindwal can be expanded
within the available space in existing built up around it as indicated in
zoning regulations part.
Page 152
c) Railway Station:The existing railway station which falls in village Fatehabad mainly and
its small part is in village Jhander, is also proposed to be kept as such in terms
of location and area. As due to the upcoming activities in various zones, no of
passengers and frequency of goods as well as passengers is likely to increase, so
if required, it can be expanded in agricultural zone nearby.
(iv) Bridges/ Culverts/ Railway Crossing

All the existing bridges/culverts or railway crossings where any road
crosses Sabhraon branch canal, Khadur Sahib, Patti distributory, minor,
railway line or any other linear elements have been kept as such in new
proposals of Master Plan, Goindwal. The new bridges and culverts are proposed
as under:
a)
Bridges: - Three new bridges over the water body to connect the Z-13 with
the Local Planning Area have been proposed. The first one is from Z-12,
other near gurdwara Baoli Sahib and third in Miani village over Dhussi
bandh.
b)
Culverts: - Culverts have been proposed on all the newly proposed roads
where these cross any water body especially Sabhraon branch canal as
earmarked on proposed land use plan of LPA, Goindwal.
c)
Railway Crossings: - The railway crossings shown in the existing land use
plan have been retained as such and no new crossing has been proposed
as no such proposal is required on the proposed railway line.
Note:Any bridge, culvert or rail crossing is required to be developed in future, it shall be

permissible transportation landuse areas.
6.5.7. Tourism/Recreational activities:As already concluded in the existing situation part, the Local Planning
Area has a great potential for tourism. Till now, in this area, tourists visit to the
historical gurudwaras, they spend a short time here and go back. The tourists,
who come from far away places like to stay/halt at nearby cities such as
Amritsar or Jalandhar because supporting infrastructural facilities are not
available in the Local Planning Area, which can encourage them to stay for long
time or spend the nights here. In this way, presently tourism activity leaves only
a little impact on the economy of Local Planning Area.
However, in Master Plan, Goindwal (2031), the enhancement of tourist
activity is the priority after the revival of industry. Therefore, there is effort to
Page 153
propose other activities of the interest of tourists and facilitate them with
supporting infrastructure. Besides these the recreational facilities for local
population are also proposed in Master Plan, Goindwal. In the light of this, the
proposals for tourism have been given in following two parts:

(i) Recreational Tourism: - (Z-13)

Besides the religious tourism as mentioned above, Goindwal has a great
potential for tourism due to its physiography. The existence of river Beas on its
sides gives a great opportunity to develop the river front from tourism point of
views. The area for River Front Recreation measuring approx 266 hec, as
mentioned in table 6.10 has been earmarked at the best available site for this
purpose, falling in the revenue boundaries of villages Goindwal-Akbarpur and
Miani to get maximum out of natural resources present here. The site is
bounded by river Beas, on right and another stagnant water body on left. From
top and bottom, this water body is connected with River Beas to ensure the flow
of water in this water body, which can be utilized for water activities like boating
etc. The area of this zone is proposed to develop as natural recreational
activities like forest camping area, safari, lush green ground, artificial lake etc.
Only few and restricted commercial activities shall be permissible in terms of
refreshment centres/coffee shops/food plaza along with public toilets. This area
Page 154
also includes the provision of stay for the tourists by providing small huts or
tents etc, the description thereof is given in zoning regulation part.
(ii) Religious Tourism:Study part of this topic concludes that most of the historical places in
Local Planning Area, Goindwal are situated in viallges Khadur Sahib, Goindwal
and Bharowal. However, table No. 4.29 reveals that the number of tourists
visiting daily and on special occasion to the historical places is maximum in
Khadur Sahib and Goindwal. But as already mentioned, most of the historical
gurudwaras and other religious places fall in the lal lakir area of their respective
villages, so the physical proposals and development controls cannot be enforced
around them. As per section 56 of the Punjab Regional and Urban Planning and
Development Act (Amended) 2006, the act is not applicable in these areas. But
still while preparing the master plan, the comfort and convenience of the
tourists visiting to these religious places cannot be compromised with.
Therefore, provisions for the tourists have been made by proposing the zones
reserved for tourist facilities. The description is given below:
(a) Site reserved for tourist facilities at Khadur Sahib (Z-3):The zone includes the areas of musteel 52 and part of musteel no 53
(upto proposed 80 wide road) of village Mughlani as well as areas of musteel no
33, 32 (excluding area under Gurdwara Tapiana Sahib) and part of musteel 34
(upto proposed 80 wide road) of village Khadur Sahib.
The site for this particular purpose has been selected here to facilitate
the visitors to the historical Gurudwaras at Khadur Sahib, especially on special
occasions. However, to avoid the underutilization of this area, it is also proposed
be used for public, administrative, religious, social, political and others events
and functions also. The detail of major activities, which are permissible, is given
in zoning regulations. Area under this zone is 21 hec.
(b) Site reserved for Tourist facilities at Goindwal (Z-12):This zone is bounded by Goindwal-Kapurthala road in its north, ITI
college in east, 80 wide proposed road along water body in south and existing
built up in its west. Total area of the zone is 86 hec. The site partly falls in the
revenue areas of village Hansawala and Goindwal-Akbarpur.
The selection of this particular site for such activity is made due to its
nearness to the historical gurudwaras and proposed site for river front
recreation (Z-13). Like Z-3, this site is also proposed to be used for other public,
administrative, religious, social, political and other events, but without its
defacement. The detail of permissible activities is given in zoning regulations.
(iii) Sports activities

The existing stadium at Khadur Sahib has been retained as such. But
this is not sufficient to serve the projected population (2031). So, keeping in
view the future requirements of sports and other recreational facilities of Local
population various activities have been made permissible in various landuse
zones. The description thereof is given in zoning regulations part.
Page 155
(iv) Buffer zone/green belts

It is proposed to segregate the incompatible land use proposed in Master
Plan, Goindwal to regulate the development along transportation network and
for proper maintenance/preservation of water bodies the green buffers are
proposed to be developed along all these linear elements. The description of
such proposals is given in zoning regulations.
No green buffer has been proposed around the site of thermal power
plant in the light of the proposed 100 wide green buffer proposed inside its own
side as per the Environmental Assessment Report prepared by GVK, Hyderabad,
agency which is establishing this thermal plant.

6.6 Zoning Regulations

Chapter IX of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development
Act, (Amended) 2006 provides for Control of Development and Use of Land where
Master Plan is in Operation. The chapter lays down the procedural framework for
exercising the development control. Development as defined by the act means
the carrying out of building, engineering, mining, quarrying or other operations

any building or land including that which affects the appearance of any heritage
site and includes demolition of any part or whole of the building or change in
use of any building or land and also includes reclamation, redevelopment, a
layout or sub-division of land.
It would have normally been expected that a Master Plan includes
regulations dealing with all facets of development. However, since statutory
Master Plans were not available, government has instituted many
regulations/development control on state-wide basis to govern key facets of
development such as sub-division and layout of land under PAPRA, FAR,

permitted/permissible in the zoning regulations, shall be liable to be shifted
within time period and conditions mentioned in section 79 of the Punjab
Regional and Town Planning and Development Act-1995.
For implementation of Master Plan, Goindwal in its true spirit, the
development controls and zoning regulations shall be applicable in three parts.
First, is general introduction of these zoning regulations and development
controls in terms of their title, scope, jurisdiction, date of enforcement and
definitions of relevant terms being used in these regulations to avoid the
misinterpretation of any of these at later stage. The second one is land use
regulations, which shall cover the permissibility or non-permissibility of the
activities or land uses in various designated zones/land uses earmarked in
proposed land use plan of Master Plan, Goindwal. The third part shall cover the

Note:
From the comparative table of norms and space standards as given above, the norms
suggested by UDPFI Guidelines have been found more suitable for the preparation of Master
Plan, Goindwal because of the following reasons:
The norms and standards suggested by UDPFI Guidelines are more detailed and
cover almost each physical and social infrastructure as compared to Present Master
Plan Zoning Regulation /Govt. policies
Norms and standards suggested by UDPFI Guidelines are more realistic and suit to
local conditions such as prevailing development controls, availability of land, land
prices etc.
Page 189
Norms and standards suggested by Delhi Master Plan have not been found suitable
for LPA, Goindwal because these norms are of higher level, formed especially for Mega
town like Delhi, where development controls are very tight, population is more than
1.25 crores and the land is scarce and costly.
But the norms of concerned centre/state governments shall have overriding effects on
all the above norms.
(ii) For Public building/public utility buildings For the development of public
buildings/public utility buildings, the byelaws/norms of concerned government
departments shall be applicable.
(iii) For social infrastructure permissible in various land use zones proposed
in Master Plan, Goindwal (2031):The comparative statement of Norms and standard for social infrastructure

Note:
From the comparative table of norms and space standards as given above, the norms
suggested by UDPFI Guidelines have been found more suitable for the preparation of Master
Plan Goindwal because of the following reasons:
The norms and standards suggested by UDPFI Guidelines are more detailed and
cover almost each physical and social infrastructure as compared to Present Master
Plan Zoning Regulation /Govt. policies
Norms and standards suggested by UDPFI Guidelines are more realistic and suit to
local conditions such as prevailing development controls, availability of land, land
prices etc.
Norms and standards suggested by Delhi Master Plan have not been found suitable
for LPA, Goindwal because these norms are of higher level, formed especially for Mega
town like Delhi, where development controls are very tight, population is more than
1.25 crores and the land is scarce and costly.
(iv) Strategy for obtaining land for public purposes

The strategy shall be applicable for the building developed by
government/semi government or public/semi public undertakings. Various options
