2- Model Building Bye-laws
Development Authorities have been following different set of building regulations adopted from R.B.O.

10- Blue Print for Infrastructure Facilities
Various departments engaged in the development activities of a town lead to duplicity of projects, lack of coordination, overlapping of schemes.
