“The objective of this policy is to develop well-organised, modern and self-reliant townships through the participation of private and public sectors. This policy will promote better basic facilities, green residential areas and smart infrastructure,” he added.
CM Yadav asserted that land pooling concept has also been adopted in the new policy, which will give land owners an opportunity to participate in development with proper compensation.
