9. Vision of my City – by Tarak Mamlatdarna
Present City
Bharuch has unique natural location having Perennial river And very wide river bed Having old Fort to protect old city from river flood. It has a very unique topography with old city on a hillock and has ravines passing thro the city area. Also we have two large natural Water bodies in the city. Five major industrial estates are located nearby to Bharuch city. Presently city is In absolute mess.
Having open gutters even at some places Dirty water is flowing on the whole road width, Dirty water is flowing in nalas and ravines And sides of these Nala and water passages are encroached by hutments. Water bodies becoming dirty water pond. Even river bed is full of debris and solid waste.

19. Traffic Issues – N.K.Patel
Introduction:
Bharuch town is bound / cut across by various trunk grids of national highway NH 8 (old & new), state highway (Bharuch Dahej), and railways (main trunk line & Bharuch Dahej line). Narmada river & GNFC also binds the spread of the town
The uneven topography of city from Mohammadpura to Zadeshwar also causes traffic problems especially in connection with drainage problems.
Though these facilities are useful they many a times cause problems. These infrastructures can be utilized better if a holistic planning can be done with this.

20. Traffic solutions - N.K.Patel
Suggestion
At Zadeshwar highway crossing bumps should be provided on up side of both ways (also) so that the heavy vehicles of NH 8 break the speed. It has been observed that sometime one side is stopped & other side vehicles do not stop causing more traffic. They do not stop on signal by Traffic Brigade & sometime their lives may be endangered

21. Traffic solutions - N.K.Patel
No road side parking of transport vehicles / auto rickshaws at ALL junctions beyond the marking (line designated by traffic police) – (Some of the operators make ugly remarks on public especially female)
Bharuch :
Panch batti
Railway station (all sides) especially near
President hotel & in front across road
Near west side foot over bridge on godi side
On east side of foot over bridge.
Kasak circle.
Sheetal circle.
Tulsidham crossing.
Zadeshwar road crossing.
Narmada junction on NH 8.
ABC circle.
Shravan crossing.
Jambusar crossing.
Ankleshwar :
Teen Rasta
Station Road
Chauta Naka
Gadkhol Patia
Pratin Chowkdi
Valiya Chowkdi
Piraman Naka
Jinwala School
Bharuchi Naka

26. Bharuch – Ring road plan - N.K.Patel

27. Encroachment Bharuch & Ankleshwar are developing cities
Every day you will see encroachment on road side by migrated people.
Bharuch – Old N.H.-8 from Golden Bridge to Shital circle – Link Road – Mohammadpura – Zadeshwar Road
Ankleshwar – Tin Rastaa, Station Road, Shak Market – Hawa mahel to Pratin Hotel to Gadkhol Patia on Old N.H.8
Ankleshwar city to Rajpipla Chowkdi – DGVCL to Piraman Naka – Sadanand Chowkdi to Sarangpur
Such encroachments destroying beauty of both the towns. Road side area should be covered and Gardens/tree should be planted
Near by companies/societies/shopping centers to be asked to manage plantations to save precious land.

28. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel
AHMEDABAD:
Development plans were prepared with concept of ring roads and peripheral development.
Ahmedabad is growing uniformly on all the sides in circular pattern. This leads to appropriate and uniform development of civic amenities. The maintenance of facilities like water supply / drainage / roads, other infrastructure also becomes easy for authorities.
For peripheral development, the commuting distances for general public also become lesser.
For parking areas in city—CG road concept / Multilevel parking concept can be adopted

29. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel
GANDHINAGAR/ CHANDIGARH:
These are newly planned and developed cities with grid planning/ modular planning.—OR SECTORAL PLANNING
This type of planning ensures phased development with ease.
Internal development plans can be with appropriate parkings/ cycling lanes/ footpaths
Civic amenities like social places/ educational institutions/ entertainment zones etc can be put in different sectors, with even proportioning.

30. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel
OLD PRINCELY TOWNS
VADODARA:
PARKS, GARDENS, OPEN SPACES
BEAUTIFUL LAKES
VISIONARY WATER SUPPLY SOURCING –AJWA SAROWAR —ALSO, HELPING TO CREATE NATURAL ENTERTAINMENT ZONE/ GREEN ZONE
CIRCLES AND STATUES AT APPROPRIATE JUNCTIONS
ATITHI GRUHS, RUN BY VMC FOR MARRIAGES/ PUBLIC FUNCTIONS

31. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel
MORBI:
RIVER BANK DEVELOMENT:
BHARUCH HAS VERY OLD HISTORIC RIVER BANK/ IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED WITH ITS ANCIENT IDENTITY AND NOT SO CALLED MODERN CONCEPTS
PEDESTRIAN SUSPENSION BRIDGE CONECTING TWO PARTS OF CITY
INTERNAL CHOWKS WITH CONVENTIONAL OUTING/ HANG OUT PLACES—OLD BHARUCH HAS SIMILAR PLACES.
GONDAL/ JAIPUR:
WIDE ROAD NETWORK WITH BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED STONE KERBS. FOOTPATHS
UNIFORMITY OF RAILINGS ON ROAD SIDE PROPERTIES

32. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel
SURAT:
Flyover construction at proper places and its efficient management for traffic decongestion
Administrative Efficiency for maintenance of civic services by dividing the city in appropriate zones and empowering the zonal officers for best performance in the public interest.
Sports complexes/ Public Institutions like science city
HYDERABAD:
Encouraging GREEN buildings by giving tax incentives.

33. LESSONS FROM OTHER TOWNS / CITIES DEVELOPMENT MODELS – N.K.Patel

34. BHARUCH ANKLESHWAR URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (BAUDA)
Suggestions in regards with Proposed Draft Development Plan & General Development Control Regulation Volume-III

35. BHARUCH ANKLESHWAR URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (BAUDA)
Suggestions and concerns in regards with Proposed Draft Development Plan & General Development Control Regulation Volume-III
Followings are our suggestions and concerns:
Proposed Draft Development Plan was announced on 13th Jan 2014, our concern is when we
will get the primary final draft development plan of BAUDA.
Online Tracking system : Since last two years we are suggesting to have a online file tracking
system on website. But no development has been taken place till date. Our concern is if the
online file tracking system launched every individual can track his/her file status and it will
also help in fast processing.
TP-3 – Bharuch City (Western Area): Still in many case the records are not updated and effect
of new planning has not taken place in form no 7, 12 etc due to this technical problems are
arising and development is not taking place.
Parallel Procedure of N/A Approval and Layout plan Approval: We should implement in both
PCPIR and BAUDA because in other Urban development authorities like SUDA, VUDA,AUDA
due to parallel procedure the process time is saved and it will benefit both BAUDA &
individuals

36. BHARUCH ANKLESHWAR URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (BAUDA)
Suggestions and concerns in regards with Proposed Draft Development Plan & General Development Control Regulation Volume-III
- Inclusion of CREDAI BHARUCH Committee Members in BAUDA Committee
Corridor widths to be redefined separately for single loaded and double loaded. Corridor
widths given in the GDCR are very huge for single loads.
 - Thick Plantation for plot areas to be increased to more than m2.
 - Length of building to be defined especially for tenements/row houses.
 - In case if a building has part ground floor as useable built up area and the rest as parking, the
parking area should be considered as hollow plinth. The permissible height for this part of the
building should be considered from first floor and that of the rest from ground floor.
Low rise building is defined as 16.50mt high in the GDCR, whereas, in R1 zone the maximum
permissible height is 15mts which should be allowed to 16.50mts so that larger floor to floor
heights are possible.
In past CREDAI has already submitted our suggestions in letter dated 7th March 2014, 17th
November 2014 and 16th March 2015,

Bharuch district has historically been successful in developing sportsman who has represented the City at National Level in various different sports.

Munaf Patel has been one of the biggest success from our region at international level.

54. Sports Initiatives – Moksh Udani
As a City, We should look into taking the following initiatives:
- If students require better coaching facilities, they tend to move to Surat
or Ahmedabad as it provides superior quality guidance and coaching
camps.
- Currently, there is one single district level tournament held, which
needs to be organized annually and if GNFC can provide the
premises for the same, it would be ideal.
- Tie up with international universities where by our students would go
there and get coaching for 2 to 3 months while their players can come
here and learn best practices. It would allow students to gain cross
cultural experiences and be a better player in time to come.
