Annexure 'A'
Explanatory note on the (final) development plan for controlled area at Karnal.
- Introduction.- The town of Karnal is situated on the National highway No. 1 (Delhi-Ambala-Amritsar G.T. Road) at a distance of about 123 Kms. from Delhi and 130 Kms. from Chandigarh. The town is well linked with other major towns of the State and that of the adjoining States by a good net-work of roads. Amritsar-Delhi main broadguage railway line also pass through the town making it easily accessible from other parts of the country.
By and large, the surrounding area of the town is a flat alluvium plain with a gradual slope from north-west to south-east. The area is mostly free from flooding and the potable sub-soil water is available in abundance.
The economy of the district is mostly agro-based and it is famous for good paddy crop. There are number of cold storages and rice shellers in and around the town. Lately the town has come on the industrial map of the State and a few important industries such as manufacture of agricultural implements, shoe-making, rubber tyres and tubes, chemicals, welding, electric rods manufacturing and rice husking etc. have been set up.
The town is self sufficient in educational facilities. At present there are five degree colleges, one education (B.Ed.) College and an Industrial Training Institute. Other institutions of National importance are National Dairy Research Institute, Central Soil Salinity Research Institute and Sugar-cane Breeding Institute Regional Research Centre.
The town is growing steadily both in population and size. Its population was 37,440, in 1941 and due to large scale migration of refugees at the time of partition of the country in 1947, it rose to 59,790 in 1951. The population was 72,109 in 1961 and in 1971 it rose to 92,784 giving a decennial increase of 28.7 per cent during the decade 1961-1971 as compared to 20.2 per cent during the previous decade.
- Existing Land uses.- The old town of Karnal is confined to the walled city and Sadar Bazar area. In 1850 the Britishers set up the Civil Lines area and after partition, the rehabilitation colonies such as model town on the east, 8 marla housing colony and mud-hut camp housing colony on the west of the railway line have been developed. The in-between vacant pockets have been filled up with piecemeal development by private colonisers and is mostly in the form of haphazard and slummy development. Out of the total area of about 1,480 hectares within the municipal limits a good chunk of land i.e., about 360 hectares is occupied by the National Dairy Research Institute and other research centres of I.C.A.R. Out of the remaining, approximately 570 hectares only is urbanised at present. The remaining area is either in the form of vacant pockets or is under agricultural use where mostly cash crops are grown. Out of the developed area of approximately 570 hectares about 300 hectares is under residential use, 180 hectares under community facilities, educational and health institutions, 40 hectares under industries and remaining 50 hectares under commercial and other uses. The area outside the municipal limits is predominantly rural in nature. However, there is haphazard linear development of industries along major roads.
In order to channelise the development in a planned manner and to control the haphazard and piecemeal growth, the Government in September, 1971 declared a sizable area (approximately 5,420 hectares) around the municipal limits of the town as 'Controlled Area' under Section 4(i)(a) of the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas (Restriction of Unregulated Development) Act, 1963. The development Plan has been framed accordingly with the following major land use proposals.
- Proposals.- A period of 20 years for the perspective development which is reasonably foreseeable period for the preparation of development plan has been kept in view while formulating the proposals. Based on the assumption, that the growth rate of population during the decade 1971-81 will increase from 3 to 4 per cent per annum and in the subsequent decades from 4 to 5 per cent per annum, the projected population of the town has been taken approximately as 2 lacs by 1991 A.D. and the town has been planned as such.
The main barriers for the growth of the town towards west and north are railway line and National Dairy Research Institute respectively, and therefore, the only directions towards which the expansion can be envisaged are south and east. Though the present trend for expansion is towards southern side i.e. along G.T. road towards Delhi but there are constraints for development due to low-lying areas in the vicinity of the town. Therefore, the major proposed development has been considered on the eastern side on either side of the G.T. Road, bye-pass. In addition some suitable areas in between G.T. Road and Railway line has also been proposed for urbanisation. For the first phase, i.e. during the decade 1971-81, the proposed development has been envisaged up to the present bye-pass along with a part of industrial area zoned towards south (between the railway line and G.T. road) of the existing town. During the second phase (1981-91) the development has been envisaged on the south and east of the bye-pass as such a belt of the approximately 1 mile depth has been earmarked for expansion. The development of the remaining industrial area is also envisaged to be taken up during this period.
To keep harmony in the overall development, the proposed development is envisaged in the form of extension of the existing town. Due to the strategic position of the area between railway line and the G.T. Road and keeping in view the wind direction and the existing infrastructure, the area has been zoned for industrial development and industrial labour housing etc. The low- lying area between the existing town and the proposed industrial complex has been reserved for a town park which will also act as a buffer between the existing town and the proposed industrial area.
A ring road skirting the proposed development in the south-east and the existing town in the west have been proposed along the railway line to its east. Its remaining portion passes through the agricultural belt to the north. The major road system is a combination of spider web and grid iron pattern. It is proposed to develop Karnal as a medium density town with an over all density of 100 persons per hectare and, therefore, an area of approximately 2,208 hectares (including the area within the municipal limits) has been proposed for urbanisation.
The major land use proposals shown in the Development Plan are in respect of the Controlled Area. The proposals within the municipal limits have been shown for integrated and co-ordinated development of the town. The extent of major land use proposals up to 1991 A.D. are given as under :-
| Land use | Area within Controlled Area in Hectares | Area within Municipal limits in Hectares | Total area in Hectares |
| 1. Residential | 512 | 594 | 1106 |
| 2. Commercial | 18 | 82 | 100 |
| 3. Industrial | 156 | 16 | 172 |
| 4. Transport and Communication | 56 | 74 | 130 |
| 5. Public and Semi Public uses | - | 454 | 454 |
| 6. Open spaces | 186 | 60 | 246 |
Description of Land Uses
- Residential.- At present the old town area is very congested. Its density is as high as 675 persons per hectare. It is proposed to bring down the overall town density to 100 persons per hectare in the development plan. The total area under the residential use inclusive of ancillary and allied facilities like schools, shopping centres, community facilities, etc. (including the existing residential area) will be approximately 1,106 hectares which will take care of decongesting the existing town as well as providing accommodation for the additional population. The whole residential area has been divided into 10 new residential sectors which will be self-contained for daily needs such as shopping, educational, health and other community facilities etc.
- Commercial.- There are sufficient existing commercial areas to cater to the needs of the present population. Organised sector shopping areas shall cater to the future needs of the population. However, an additional provision of 14 hectares have been made for warehousing purposes in Sector 19 within municipal limits and 18 hectares within Controlled Area.
- Industrial.- Keeping in view the location, wind direction and other infrastructure available and the foreseeable natural trends, a planned industrial area of 156 hectares for providing employment to approximately 12,000 workers (at the rate of 75 workers per hectare) has been earmarked between the G.T. Road to other towns such as Jind and Kaithal etc. A green strip of 60 metres width has been provided long V-3 road abutting the main industrial area on its north and 100 metres wide green belt on both sides of existing G.T. Road between industrial and residential zone. This has been done so that the industrial area could also have a facility of the railway siding etc.
- Transport and Communication.- There is a sufficient existing provisions of such facilities within the town which can cater to the needs of the present population suitably. As regards to the future needs, necessary provision of such facilities shall be made with the proposed sectors as per the requirements from time to time.
Road System. - To solve the existing and anticipated traffic problems in future a specific road network which a combination of grid iron and spider web pattern have been evolved as shown on the plan. The area under the road system stands mentioned in the preceding table of various land uses. The hierarchy of the roads as shown on the development plan with their land reservation is given below. However, the width and alignment of other roads shall be as per detailed sector plans.
| Classification of roads | Land reservation |
| (i) V-I(a) | .. Existing width |
| (ii) V-1(b) | .. Existing width |
| (iii) V-2 | .. 45 metres |
| (iv) V-3 | .. 30 metres |
- Public and Semi Public Uses.- An area of about 32 hectares stands proposed for development of mini-secretariat and civic complex in sector No. 12 within municipal limits. Keeping in view the journey to work the site is most ideally located in relation to the existing town as well as the proposed development anticipated in future. This area shall also provide for other civic buildings, e.g. town hall etc. The above said reservations is in addition to the existing educational, district officers and medical and health institutions. Apart from this an additional area of about 8 hectares stand reserved for the construction of Government College building in sector 14.
- Open Spaces. - Presently the town has two parks, namely Karan Park and Karan Tal, in addition to a big stadium named after Moti Lal Nehru. As regards other recreational area there is a lake complex at a distance of about 5 kilo-metres from the town towards north. However, there is no big organised recreational area within the town which can cater to the needs of the entire population reasonably. Therefore, it has been proposed to develop the low- lying area towards south of the old town (within sectors 16 and 17) as a town park to cater to the future needs of the population.
In addition to the above, green belts of varying widths, depending upon the hierarchy order of roads have been provided on either side of the road reservations within the urbanisable area and outside as shown on the development plan, with the basic idea to facilitate unhindered flow of traffic and better environmental conditions. However, the land under green belts shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3 of Act No. 41 of 1963 and the rules framed thereunder, in addition to the conditions and restrictions mentioned in the development plan.
Agricultural zone
The remaining area surrounding the urbanisation proposals is proposed to be preserved as an agricultural zone. This agricultural zone however would not eliminate the essential building development within this area such as extension of existing villages contiguous to 'Abadi-Deh', if undertaken as a project approved or sponsored by the Government in addition to the ancillary facilities necessary for the maintenance and improvement of the agricultural zone as such.
- Zoning regulations. - The legal sanctity to the proposals regarding land use within controlled area is being given effect to by a set of zoning regulations (detailed in Annexure 'B') which forms a part of this development plan. These regulations will govern the change of land use and standard of development. They also detail out allied and ancillary uses which will be permitted within the various major land uses and stipulates that all development and change of land use shall be in accordance with the details shown in the sector plan, thereby ensuring the preparation of detailed sector plans for each sector to guide the development and enforce proper control.
