 ZONAL PLAN LUDHIANA (ZONE NO. 20)

1.1 Summary:
Master Plan Ludhiana 2007-2021 has been notified under section 70(5) of “The Punjab Regional
and Town Planning and Development Act (Amended), 2006. There is a need to regulate and guide
the development of the area. Hence Zonal Plan has been prepared which acts as a link between
Master Plan and Layout Plan.
1.2 Parameters defined by the Master Plan for delineation of zone boundaries:
Local Planning Area of Ludhiana has been divided into 54 planning zones (except area within
Ludhiana Municipal Corporation limits) designated from Zone ‘1’ to ‘54’ in the notified Master Plan
Ludhiana 2007-2021. The Proposed Sector roads (100′ and 150′ wide), Geographical features of the
area like river Sutlej, Budha Nalah, Sirhind Canal and other physical features like railway lines have
been kept in mind while delineation of 54 planning zones in Master Plan Ludhiana 2007-2021.

1.3 Location:

Zone no. 20 is situated in the Southern part of Ludhiana city and along the eastern side of Ludhiana-
Pakhowal road. This zone comprises the revenue areas of vill. Pamali (HB No.299), vill. Chokkar
(HB No. 300), vill. Rattan (HB No. 301), vill. Mansurran (HB No. 290), vill. Lalton Kalan (HB
No.291), Pamal (HB No. 298), vill. Khandur (HB No.425). The total area of this zone is 4512 acres
approximately and the predominant land use is agriculture as shown in the table below:

Table no. 1 Existing Land use:

Sr.No. Land Use Area (in acres) approx %age
1. Residential 140.00 3.1
2. Commercial 5.00 0.1
3. Mixed Land Use - -
4. Industrial 18.00 0.4
5. Recreational - -
6. Traffic & Transportation 42.00 0.9
7. Utilities 0.06 0.1
8. Government - -
9. Public & Semi Public 30.00 0.6
10. Agriculture & water bodies 4276.90 94.8
Total 4512 100

1.4 Existing Infrastructure:

This zone falls outside the Municipal Corporation limits and consequently lacks facilities like
Municipal water supply, sewerage system and storm water drainage system etc. Village ponds are
the main source for disposal of domestic waste.
The present width of roads/rastas varies from 8′ to 80′ approximately in this zone. There is no
hierarchy of the roads. Except village link roads all other roads are katcha. This zone is about 10 km
away from Bus Stand and about 11 km away from main Railway Station. Ludhiana-Pakhowal road
connects this zone with the main city. This zone is well served by bus facility & other principal
means of transportation. However the narrow and katcha roads are not suitable for public transport

1
as are not equipped with supporting infrastructure. This zone is the outer expansion of the city and
the development is taking place at a fast pace. Hence keeping the present trend of urbanization and
future potential into consideration the Zonal Plan of this zone has been prepared.
Present population of this zone is approximately 8194. It includes the population of village abadies
and other existing colonies. Present gross density of this zone is approx. 2 persons per acre and net
Density (residential) of this zone is approx.59 persons per acre. All facilities are sufficient as per
existing population and as per the standards of Master Plan Ludhiana as evident from the table
below, however to accommodate future development as per the provisions of Master Plan there is
urgent need to provide required infrastructure.

1.5 Parameters defined by Master Plan Ludhiana of zone no. 20

This zone is well defined by physical features and
proposed sector roads. Apart from this Pakhowal
road runs on the east side of this zone. The Northern
side of this zone is enclosed by 100′ wide proposed
sector road, in the west side by 100′ wide proposed
sector road and the Southern side this zone is
bounded by 150' wide proposed sector road. (As
shown in location plan) As per the Master Plan
recommendations this zone falls partially in Medium
Density Residential zone (RD2) and partially in Low
Density Residential zone (RD3).Besides this Mix Land use (commercial mix) up to the depth of 500′
on both sides of Ludhiana-Pakhowal road has been proposed in this zone as per Master Plan.
2.1 Population projections:
This zone is proposed as Medium Density Residential zone (RD2) and Low Density Residential
zone (RD3) in Master Plan Ludhiana with density of 100 -150 persons / gross acres and density of
less than 100 persons / gross acres respectively. Projected population for this zone will be 4.3 lakh-
4.8 lakhs (when fully developed)

2.2 Planning concept and Proposals:
The Zonal Plan of zone no. 20 has been prepared keeping the governing principles of town planning
viz. hierarchy of roads, road widening of existing available network etc. into consideration. The
roads shall have standard cross section attached herewith at annexure I and the kind of trees to be
planted shall be selected from the list attached herewith at annexure II as per the suitability of the
site conditions. A green belt of 33' width has been reserved along the Khanpur distributory.
Moreover attempt has been made to give a block of 100-150 acres approximately so that 4 to 6
schemes of 25 acres each can be accommodated in one block with appropriate circulation. Four
bridges are proposed on Khanpur Minor connecting 100′, 80′ and 150′ wide proposed sector roads
over it on the northern side of this zone. The sites on which various projects have already been
approved or whose change of Landuse has already been permitted by competent
authority/Government., such sites shall be deemed to be adjusted as sanctioned/permitted.
The sites have been reserved for public and semi public facilities where provision of recreational/
sports facilities etc. can also be allowed comprising the total area of 161 acres approximately.
However, the facilities/ communication facilities viz. antenna/tower shall be laid in this zone as per
norms. Utilities shall be laid as per the design requirements of the concerned department. The other
parts of sector shall be developed according to the parameters of PAPRA 1995 (The Punjab
Apartment and Property Regulations Act, 1995). The detail of proposals is as per Zonal Plan
Drawing No.DTP (L) 33/2009 dated 16-10-2009, attached overleaf. These proposals are based upon
Base Plan prepared and supplied by Centre for Computational Engineering, Punjab Engineering
College, Chandigarh.
The planned growth can boost the economy at rapid rate as compared to unplanned growth.
Zoning regulations based on realistic F.A.R., height, ground coverage etc. providing choices for
using land for residential, commercial and other social and physical infrastructure activities are
envisaged for this zone. The plan also recommends provision and improvement of services including
the public infrastructure, traffic network and civic amenities. The detail of proposed land use
pattern in this zone is as below:
Table no: 3
Proposed land use zone no. 20
Sr.No. Land Use Area (in acres) approx. %age
1. Residential 3748 83.0
2. Commercial - -
3. Mixed Land Use 191 4.2
4. Industrial - -
5. Recreational 11 0.2
6. Traffic & Transportation 400 9.1
7. Public & semi public 162 3.5
8. Utilities - -
9. Government - -
10. Agriculture & water bodies - -
Total 4512 100

w.r.t. above table it is further explained that:

 Area shown for Traffic and Transportation is of Zonal roads and does not cover local streets.

3
  Recreational areas are those specifically shown on the zonal plans and do not include open
spaces in colonies.
 Consequently residential area seems to be large as it would include local roads, open spaces
and amenities provided under PAPRA.
