Section 4(j) in Approval of Periphery Policy Report and other Allied Matters
(j)Total Repeal of the Periphery Act not Recommended. - The Committee has received suggestions from different quarters to totally repeal the Periphery Act. In this context, attention is drawn to the changing character of the city of Chandigarh, alluded to in paragraph 3.2 of this report. This transition also necessitates a fresh look at the regulatory framework governing the Periphery. However, the Committee, even after due deliberation, is unable to recommend the total repeal of the Act, as it would remove all curbs on sub-optimal construction and haphazard urban development in the Periphery.
