The future plans or projects of new infrastructure are allowed based on the types of lands available in the district, residential areas, Commercial areas, water sources areas, etc.

With the increasing trend of online services introduced in all fields of work, the facility to identify the type of land has been incorporated in the Chennai city’s 2nd Master Plan.

5 committees were formed to devise the methodology and execute the recommendations of the 2nd Master Plan – Economics and Job Opportunities Committee, Land Usage and Environment Committee, residence, and Infrastructure Committee, and Administration Committee.

As per the rules and regulations of the 2nd Master Plan, the above committees will meet once in 3 months and make recommendations for execution of the plan. In order to review and make necessary changes if required, the entire project should be reviewed after every 5 years. However, the project was kept in abeyance for a very long period. The committee meetings were not conducted either.
