The Gujarat New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1960

General196020 sections

This law regulates construction and development activities within a specified zone protecting Gujarat's new capital. The state government has the authority to declare a "controlled area" to systematically manage the city's expansion. Strictly applying to anyone planning to build, alter, or construct roads within this zone, the legislation prohibits such activities without written permission from the local Collector. Permission is granted only if the development meets official town planning standards. Ultimately, the Act ensures orderly, planned infrastructure rather than allowing chaotic, unregulated urban growth around the new capital city.
