UP govt proposes urbanisation of 32 big villages

Lucknow, Dec 15 (UNI) In accordance with the Uttar Pradesh government's plan to give a major thrust to the urbanisation, 32 big villages in the state will be upgraded as Nagar Panchayat along with an increase in the area of 20 other urban local bodies.

After upgrading Ayodhya and Mathura-Vrindavan as Nagar Nigam for their fast development and urbanisation for promoting religious tourism, Chitrakoot will be converted into a Nagar Nigam soon, official sources said on Tuesday, adding that a draft has already been prepared for the same.
The state urban development department has sent the proposal to the districts for its approval and suggestions, thereafter it would be brought before the state cabinet for its nod, sources said.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had earlier announced that Chitrakoot would be developed as an international religious tourism spot and already a ropeway is being installed for the pilgrims.
After Chitrakoot gets Nagar Nigam status, then the total number of Nagar Nigam in the state will increase to 18 and while adding 32 villages as Nagar Panchayat, the total urban local bodies in the state will go up to 522.

The big villages which have been identified for becoming Nagar panchayats are Ramsanehighat in Barabanki district, Java, Sikerderpur, Tappal, Gabhana and Barauli in Aligarh district, Kaiserganj in Bahriach district, Ratol in Baghpat district, Kanchausi in Kanpur Dehat district, Asothar in Fatehpur district, Dhakwa, Ramganj and Katna Gulab Singh in Pratapgarh district, Charwa in Kaushambhi district, Mau in Chitrakoot district, Mahmoodpurmafi in Moradabad district, Sujabad and Kotwa in Varanasi district, Saidengali in Amroha district, Rajesultanpur and Jahangirganj in Ambedkharnagar district, Satsar Kala in Ballia district, Kumarganj, Khirauni Suchitaganj in Ayodhya district, Chowk in Maharajganj district, Munderwa, Ganeshpur, Nagar Bazar and Kaptanganj in Basti district, Ugheti in Badaun district, Kalan in Shahjahanpur district, Achalganj in Unnao district and Dubari in Mau district.
Besides this area of 10 Nagar Palika and 10 Nagar Panchayats will also be increased after the inclusion of more rural areas in their jurisdiction.
