The new industrial areas coming
in the southern side of the city need proper environmental assessment before taking
decisions on permitting new industries.
For traffic and transportation
system, a number of measures including removing of bottlenecks, creating new corridors
by widening roads or removing encroachments, new bypass road etc. had been recommended.
Since the existing metre gauge rail track is posing problems to traffic movement
and causing air pollution, it was proposed to introduce MRTS for intra city movement
using this track. For the 17 crossings, a parallel road was proposed with three
crossovers. The crossovers were also suggested to be used as commercial nodes.
The rail traffic on the metre gauge was proposed to be realigned with the existing
broad gauge track (there was a move at the time of EMP preparation to convert
metre gauge track to broad gauge).
Shifting of wholesale markets,
bus terminus and truck terminus that are located in the heart of the city, to
an appropriate place was suggested.
Providing of green belts
at various places as shown in the environmental (management) plan was suggested.
Recommendations were made on sewerage and drainage system was made, including
phase-wise expansion of sewerage network.
Dredging and renovation
of Motijheel ponds to create recreational areas was suggested.
Stopping immediately of dumping of wastes along GT Road was recommended.
New sites for waste disposal were suggested to be identified based on environmental
assessment and to adopt appropriate treatment technologies.
EPM can be an importaint input in preparation of Master Plan for Kanpur
