Section 4(g) in Approval of Periphery Policy Report and other Allied Matters
(g)Existing Rural Settlements. - Considering the existing as well as future development needs of the villages falling within the Periphery as well as with a view to cater to their increasing population, it would be prudent to provide a sufficiently compact and contiguous belt of land around the village "phirni" for ensuring the organic growth of these villages. Any area falling between the 'lal lakir' and the 'phirni' of the village shall also be treated as a part of the extended belt. The area should be allowed to be used primarily for meeting individual residential and petty commercial needs of the existing and future population of a village. However, charges for change of land use should be levied on prescribed rates, except in the case of bona fide residents. No industry should be permitted in such area. Similarly, formal colonization shall also not be permitted in the extended 'abadi' area on the pretext of this recommendation alone.
