ARCHIAC laws and still adherence to them is what is
gripping everyone associated with the mess Patna real estate construction is in last six months and more. We are
in the year 2014 and the state capital of Bihar , Patna , lacks a vision of its urban development for next 25
years. The master plan for the development of the city Patna seems to be no ones’ priority. It seems no one is
thinking and secondly no one wants to take responsibility and accountability.
It’s hard to believe that our ancestors some 2500 years ago were better townplanners and had built one of the best cities in the world called Patliputra. As
unmindful parrots we keep talking about the past glory and the present is in
mess to say the least.
Who is responsible for Patna looking as extended village rather than a city by any
international standards? We are democratic and therefore the responsibilities
lie with the public. Patnaites do
not know and are not aware of what better living conditions are possible in
their city. How? One and only thing is that people need to work the bare
minimum of six hours for six days a week. Patnaites do not WORK . From top to bottom and from bottom to top people in Patna are averse to WORK . Patnaites find thousands of excuses for not working and not one
reason to work. The greatest excuses are laws made in Imperialist times to keep
the majority of the population under control and in poverty.
The planners and strategist do not have the will to
take decisions. They do not know where to draw a full stop and start a fresh
page. Patna lacks innovative thinking and seeing the current
situation one wonders that how this same land produced the first democracy of
the world in nearby Vaishali.
The bureaucracy, the judiciary and the politicians in Bihar do not understand that an agricultural based economy
like Bihar needs urbanization
the most. URBANIZATION simply means
better standards of day to day living using the latest infrastructure
development and technology. Urbanization
therefore facilitates the service sectors and hence propels the agriculture the
most. Somehow the planners in Patna do not understand this little fact.
The advanced construction technology allows that a
fifteen feet wide road, with a 360 degree infrastructural development can
support a fifteen storey building. What we do in Patna !!! We do not
think 360 degree and stop the construction at two storeys. What a way to think.
Can the Patnaites realize that FAR
(floor area ratio) is an obsolete concept!! It’s the development of all sorts
of infrastructure to support the high rises which is important rather than
curbing the construction.
Re-
development is an alien word in real estate Patna . The planners just do not have re-development in
their dictionary in Patna . PATNA REAL ESTATE needs a PIED PIPER where the Pied needs to be made of
PLANNING, IDEAS, EXECUTION AND DEVELOPMENT.
