2031 FOREWORD Rohru town is situated on the right bank of River Pabbar in the interior Himalayan region at a distance of 130 Kms. away from the Shimla city, in the northeast direction. It is well known for its rich cultural heritage and majestic historical monuments. It served as trade and commerce centre from times immemorial. The town has potential for development as regional centre by virtue of its location on the State Highway-10 amidst rich horticultural hinterland. Town has status of a Municipal Council. It is having population of 9501 persons as per Census 2011 and is one of the fastest growing towns in Shimla District. Due to rapid urbanisation in town as well as its vicinity, ribbon development along the State Highway No.10, and roads connecting to Chirgaon in northeast and Rampur in north, is picking up pace. Rohru town under ever mounting development pressure is rapidly losing its carrying capacity and thereby leading to environmental crisis. A perspective Development Plan has been prepared to combat these problems. This Development Plan paves the way for preservation of vital character of Rohru town by ensuring proper upkeep of Heritage and Environment with participation of stakeholders. In order to ensure planned and regulated growth of Rohru Planning Area, Government of Himachal Pradesh extended the Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1977 vide Notification No. PWD (B&R)(B) 4 (ii)-6/84 dated 0.1.07.1986. Subsequently, existing landuse of this Planning area was prepared and adopted/ frozen on 27.7.1988. Draft Development Plan for Rohroo Planning area is now devised for ensuring planned development till the year 2031. An area of 600.91 hectares has been taken in to account for formulation of this Development Plan, which includes Municipal Council area and three revenue villages namely, Gantoli, Annu and Bakhirna surrounding the Municipal Council. 6 DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ROHRU PLANNING AREA - 2031 Prepared for an anticipated population of 14,785 persons by year 2031, the document envisages major proposals like construction of circular bye pass, Transport Nagar, Car, Bus and Truck Terminals, Warehousing and Whole sale market, which are to be implemented either through financial patronage of State Government or through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode on the BOT basis, as Rohru has a very high potential for these activities. The implementation of Development Plan has been proposed to be regularly monitored by an apex coordination committee of related stakeholder Departments. The implementation of development plan has been contemplated in a phased manner by integrating it as part of Five Year Plans system and keeping in view development priorities to meet needs of growing town as well as regional dependent population. Zoning and sub-Division regulations have also been framed to achieve objectives of planned and regulated growth.
