A city's growth has outpaced its planning, leading to issues with development and infrastructure. The last fully implemented plan was designed for a smaller population and is no longer valid. Successive governments have tried to update the plan, but the process has been stalled.

Various factors have contributed to the delay, including changes in priorities and administrative scrutiny. A former minister, Jayant Kumar Malaiya, is mentioned in relation to the issue. Further details are available from the source.

The city has been waiting for a new plan for over two decades, resulting in problems such as protests over sealing drives.
