Initially launched for 60 cities in 2005 as a 7-year programme, currently there are 63 cities in the Mission. Of these 8 are classified as Heritage Cities-viz:-

o Mathura, Mysore, Puri, Bodhgaya, Ajmer-Pushkar, Ujjain, Haridwar and Nanded (Primarily of Cultural - Historical or Pilgrimage Tourism significance). Two others are of tourism significance – viz Srinagar and Nainital. Of the other 53 cities, 35 are metros (including Varanasi and Amritsar) and 18 are State Capitals. These too have heritage to be conserved, including the metros of Amritsar and Varanasi.

Initially a single toolkit was issued for all 63 cities. However, a supplementary toolkit is being devised by MoUD and INTACH for heritage conservation and where :

o Heritage conservation is the main component (as in the 8 cities above, including Mathura)

o Heritage enhancement is a major concern (as in the other 55 cities

The CDP for Mathura has accordingly been restructured to fit into the draft supplementary toolkit without losing the renewal focus of Mathura.

The Regional Context Mathura– the birthplace of Lord Krishna is one of the prime destinations for pilgrimage in India. The contiguous settlement of Vrindavan is intrinsically related to this pilgrimage. Also a majority of devotees visit Goverdhan in its vicinity. Accordingly, catering to a floating population with focus on the river Yamuna is a major requirement in a plan for Mathura. At the same time, this group of settlements is strategically located. The national expressway (North-South corridor) cuts through the area and practically the entire southbound rail traffic from Delhi and North West India is dispersed at Mathura Junction for both goods and


Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. ii

people. Rail traffic to Rajasthan via Alwar and to central UP via Hathras also converges on Mathura. The proposed Agra-Noida Expressway east of the Yamuna would further add to the accessibility of Mathura.

Therefore along with pilgrim convergence and related religious-cultural tourism, enhancing the importance of the river Yamuna, national transportation dispersal of goods and people by road and rail, the proper operation of Mathura refinery, its ancillaries and other industries, placed on the authorities a heavy responsibility of regulated development in a major and growing concentration of regular inhabitants and floating population within a major district of U.P. Along with this, the growing gap in civic infrastructure required coordinated actions by the urban and rural local bodies of Mathura District working in unison with the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) and District Authorities. These issues were addressed in the Perspective Plan proposed for the Mathura Vrindavan Area with a 20 year perspective (2000-21) by the MVDA. Mathura - Core of the MVA Though the established foci of the expanded MVA are the religious settlements of a) Mathura, b) Vrindavan and c) Govardhan requiring the footprints of these to be protected and enhanced along with their temples, parikramas, kunds and other benchmarks along with river Yamuna and its bunds, the proposals herein are for Mathura city and which has a Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) within the larger MVA region. This priority is justified due to Mathura City being at the core of the Braj Boomi and the entreport of this group of settlements. Accordingly its environment needs serious renewal for the benefit of both – its residents and the accelerating floating population of pilgrims regional, national and international to the larger Mathura-Vrindavan area and also to Goverdhan. The Planning & Consultation Process The preparation of the Mathura CDP involved extensive consultations, throughout its preparation period. The consultative strategy involved interaction with various stakeholders like: Senior Citizens, Departments, Institutions / Groups, Industrialists, Citizens at ward level, and local elected representatives, media. The process was facilitated by the media, to impress upon the general citizens about the objectives of JNNURM and CDP for Mathura. During the preparation of the CDP, two workshops were held apart from regular interdepartmental consultations, and ward level discussions. Press meetings were held regularly during the plan preparation phase. All the concerned government departments and institutions were consulted during the three month CDP process. Meetings were held individually with various departments. It involved site visits for further discussions. The ward level consultations involved discussions with senior citizens, local residents about the issues and challenges regarding the infrastructure, services delivery and developmental issues. Besides the consultation process, the extensive visits to 45 wards of the city was completed by the consultants with the help of local elected representatives and ward level senior citizens. The former elected councilors of the municipality were also contacted about the development issues required in various sectors (at present there are no elected representatives in place) . The ward level visits to slum areas were also done with the help of the District Urban Development Agency (DUDA). Slum issues were mapped and discussed with various representatives like CBOs, RCVs, and citizens. The women’s participation and development issues were also discussed and were sensitized about the programmes for the development process at the ward level under JNNURM . The press and media played an important role during the entire plan preparation. The citizens were sensitized regularly through newspapers, local channels about the JNNURM

and city development processes. The citizens were encouraged to send suggestions and come forward for further discussions with the team regarding their needs at local and city level. Heritage and tourism was a basic issue of the Mathura CDP, consultations were held with INTACH Delhi and the Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH at Mathura. Several views emerged and this has helped shape the CDP. The listing done by INTACH has 428 entries. The open consultation process involved interaction with citizens in the municipality NPP office for the draft CDP prepared by the consultants. The presentations regarding the city assessment in terms of the infrastructure, service delivery , governance , urban poor and slums were exposed along with the vision and development strategies. Based on these consultations and the field level visits and other consultations, the projects were identified and put for regional, city and ward level development. The Emerged Vision for Mathura

INTRODUCTION

1 Background

The Government of India’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), focuses on (i) improving and augmenting the economic and social infrastructure of cities; (ii) ensuring basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices; (iii) initiating wide-ranging urban sector reforms whose primary aim is to eliminate legal, institutional and financial constraints that have impeded investment in urban infrastructure and services; and (iv) strengthening municipal governments and their functioning in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution (Seventy-Fourth) Amendment Act, 1992. The objective of the JNNURM are to ensure that the following are achieved in the urban sector:

• Focused attention to integrated development of infrastructure services in cities; • Establishment of linkages between asset-creation and asset-management through a

slew of reforms for long term project sustainability; • Ensuring adequate funds to meet the deficiencies in urban infrastructure services; • Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, outgrowths and

urban corridors leading to dispersed urbanization; • Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on

universal access to the urban poor; • Special focus on urban renewal programmes for old city areas to reduce congestion;

and • Provision of basic services to the urban poor including improved housing, water

supply and sanitation, and ensuring delivery of other existing universal services of the government for education, health and social security.

JNNURM comprises of two sub-missions, namely (i) Sub-Mission for Urban Infrastructure and Governance, and (ii) Sub-Mission for Basic Services to the Urban Poor. The Government of India has proposed substantial assistance through the JNNURM to the selected Mission cities. In Uttar Pradesh, seven cities have been identified for assistance under the Mission viz, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Agra, Varanasi and Meerut. In addition Mathura has been selected as a major heritage city of India. In order to apply for grant assistance under JNNURM, the Government of India requires eligible cities to (i) formulate a medium term City Development Plan (CDP); (ii) prepare project proposals based on the CDP; and (iii) draw up a time-frame for implementing the urban sector reforms. As one of the eligible Mission cities, Mathura has to formulate a CDP that meets the requirements laid down in the guidelines prescribed by Government of India (Ministry of Urban Development and Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation).

2 Objectives of the Consultancy

The City Development Plan provides the starting point for the reform by identifying core City challenges, a Perspective and Vision for the future development of the City, its present stage of development and current status. This lead to the directions for change. The CDP is to focus on the development of economic and social infrastructure, policies and

programmes addressing the specific issues of urban poor, strengthening of municipal governments, and their financial management and accounting processes, promoting transparency in their functioning, and pointedly strengthening Mathura, as a pilgrim / tourist destination. The CDP also provides a direction for cities and State Governments to undertake certain urban sector reforms which will facilitate flow of investments into city based infrastructure. This makes it imperative for cities to systematically determine how they wish to shape their future. Therefore, the basic objective of the Consultancy is to formulate a City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura City, in consultation with all the relevant stakeholders, in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Government of India. As the funding for infrastructure under JNNURM is contingent upon the City having a CDP, which must be cleared by the Government of India (GoI), an important aspect of the consultancy is to ensure that the CDP as prepared meets the requirements and appraisal standards of the GoI. The CDP shall, inter-alia, provide the basis within which projects will be identified for funding under JNNURM and the details of such projects.

3. Scope of Work

This CDP prepared in the context of the toolkits, guidelines and instructions provided by the MOUD and MOUEPA of the GoI and the Department of Urban Development (DoUD) Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP)/ SRC from time to time. The CDP was prepared as a multi-stage exercise involving the following: (i) City assessment: Analysis of existing situation. (ii) Development of strategic agenda and vision for the city (iii) Evolving strategies for development (iv) Developing a City Investment Plan and Financial Strategy

3.1 City Assessment: Analysis of Existing Situation

These encompass:-

o An analysis of the existing situation focusing on demographic analysis and economic activities, land use, urban infrastructure and urban services (like transportation, parking, water supply, sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, drainage) heritage and environment slum upgrading and financial and managerial implications;

o The financial status of the City Government and parastatals and other agencies

dealing with the service provision including an analysis of their credit worthiness, effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional frameworks;

o Critical assessment as well as projections of the population growth, floating

population, tourism infrastructure needs and resource requirements in the short-term, medium term and long-term perspective;

o Urban poverty, characteristics of slums e.g social set up, availability of urban basic

and social services and on-going slum improvement programmes;


Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. x

o Areas of inner city (urban renewal) which needs to be redeveloped; an analysis of present status of availability of urban basic services including the condition of the infrastructure;

o Identification of existing nature of commercial and industrial establishments and

identification of those industries and commercial establishments which are not in conformity to the broadly existing land-use planning and zoning regulations in the inner city areas.

o Heritage conservation as the major thrust of Mathura. This encompasses both, the

natural and manmade heritage.

o To highlight the “Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats” (SWOT Analysis) of the City Government/ parastatal agencies and related Government departments in the City’s specific context to provide an understanding of the factors responsible for inefficient and inadequate production and delivery of urban services, their managerial deficiencies and financial constraints and to highlight critical factors which calls urgent remedial measures at the city and State governments level.

o Situational analysis in consultation with all the stakeholders and civil society at the

city level.

3.2 Development of Strategic Agenda and a Vision for the City

Based on the outcomes of the City Assessment, the second stage envisages:-

o Development of City Vision to guide the future development of the city highlighting the direction of change and working out an Action agenda with a specific timeframe. This is to be in consultation with all the stakeholders and civil society in the city. The consultations focus also on broad assessment of municipal resources, possible impact on the municipal budget and the proposal for reform to support development.

o Based on the Vision, strategies focusing attention on growth management,

redevelopment of the inner-city, urban infrastructure and basic services, slum improvement, housing for the poor, and provision of basic and social services for them, consultation of heritage areas, preservation of water bodies, and redevelopment of inner city areas;

o A strategy identifying key strategic issues, risks and opportunities facing the city with

focus on reform and reform priorities;

o Defining outcomes and milestones on the Vision and ensure these are measurable and have a timeframe;

3.3 Evolving Strategies for Development

This element of work involves highlighting interventions to operationalize the Vision and future development of the city. This includes:

o Identification of options and strategies and their evaluation keeping in view their contribution to the goals, objectives and the reform agenda of the JNNURM.

o Translating the strategies into programmes and projects and

o Identifying the programmes which have maximum / optimum contribution to the achievement of city’s Vision and medium term perspectives.


Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. xi

Prioritization of the strategies, programmes and projects needs to be done on a consultative process with all the stakeholders.

3.4 Developing a City Investment Plan and Financing Strategy

Preparation of City Investment Plan (CIP) which includes:-

o The level of investment requirements to implement the CDP by adopting the financial norms or standards for service provision and their upgradation, restoration, relocation etc, and directly estimating the cost of implementing the reform agenda.

o Evaluation of financial options and strategies for financing the Vision as enumerated

in the CDP.

o Areas in which city government could finance by mobilizing resources or in association with other tiers of government or financing institutions, access to capital market or enlist the private sector participation and the steps needed to facilitate its participation etc.

o Broad strategies for financial viability of the proposed investments and improving

financial sustainability. This would includes options for PPP in service delivery and / or O&M, wherever relevant. The investment schedule lay out the costs and revenue estimates of all priority projects in the next seven years of the Mission period. The preparation of CIP would be an iterative process requiring the adjustments and rescheduling to make the whole package work financially.

4. The JN-NURM – Heritage Context

Initially launched for 60 cities in 2005 as a 7-year programme, currently there are 63 cities in the Mission. Of these 8 are classified as Heritage Cities-viz:-

o Mathura, Mysore, Puri, Bodhgaya, Ajmer-Pushkar, Ujjain, Haridwar and Nanded (Primarily of Cultural - Historical or Pilgrimage Tourism significance). Two others are of tourism significance-viz Srinagar and Naini Tal. Of the other 53 cities, 35 are metros (including Varanasi and Amritsar) and 18 are State Capitals. These too have heritage to be conserved, including the metros of Amritsar and Varanasi.

Initially a single toolkit was issued for all 63 cities. However, a supplementary toolkit is being devised by MoUD and INTACH for heritage conservation and where.

a) Heritage conservation is the main component (as in the 8 cities above, including Mathura)

b) Heritage enhancement is a major concern (as in the other 55 cities) The CDP for Mathura has accordingly been restructured to fit into the draft supplementary toolkit without losing the renewal focus of Mathura.

SECTION A: MATHURA REGIONAL CONTEXT

A1 THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHURA CITY AND ITS HERITAGE

A1.1 Introduction

Mathura– the birthplace of Lord Krishna is one of the prime destinations for pilgrimage in India. The contiguous settlement of Vrindavan is intrinsically related to this pilgrimage. Also a majority of devotees visit Goverdhan in its vicinity. Accordingly, catering to a floating population with focus on the river Yamuna is a major requirement in a plan for Mathura. At the same time, this group of settlements is strategically located. The national expressway (North-South corridor) cuts through the area and practically the entire southbound rail traffic from Delhi and North West India is dispersed at Mathura Junction for both goods and people. Rail traffic to Rajasthan via Alwar and to central UP via Hathras also converges on Mathura. The proposed Agra-Noida Expressway east of the Yamuna would further add to the accessibility of Mathura.

Therefore along with pilgrim convergence and related religious-cultural tourism, enhancing the importance of the river Yamuna, national transportation dispersal of goods and people by road and rail, placed on the authorities a heavy responsibility of regulated development in a major and growing concentration of regular inhabitants and floating population within a major district of U.P. Along with this, the growing gap in civic infrastructure required coordinated actions by the urban and rural local bodies of Mathura District working in unison with the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) and District Authorities. These issues were addressed in the Perspective Plan proposed for the Mathura Vrindavan Area (MVA) with a 20 year perspective (2000-21) by the MVDA.

A1.2 Mathura at the Core of the MVA

Though the 3 established foci of the expanded MVA are the religious settlements of a) Mathura, b) Vrindavan and c) Govardhan requiring the footprints of these to be protected and enhanced along with their temples, parikramas, kunds and other benchmarks along with river Yamuna and its bunds, the proposals herein are for Mathura city and which has a Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) within the larger MVA region. This priority is justified due to Mathura City being at the core of the Braj Boomi and the entreport of this group of settlements. Accordingly its environment needs serious renewal for the benefit of both – its residents and the accelerating floating population of pilgrims-regional, national and international to the larger Mathura-Vrindavan area and also to Goverdhan. However, the census considers the Mathura NP and Mathura Cantonment as a common Urban Agglomeration (UA). Thus for purposes of bulk urban services, the cantonment would also be considered in this programme.

A1.3 The Heritage of Mathura

The religious city of Mathura has a railway junction, which is the entry point to this group of settlements. A long line of ghats with their steps leading to the edge of the Yamuna, arched gateways and temple spires extending along the western bank of the River Yamuna, emphasize the sacred character of Mathura. An ancient settlement with origins embedded in history, Mathura was strategically located at the cross roads of various trade routes that went to West Asia and the Roman Empire; to Central Asia, via Taxila, Pushkalavati and Purushapur and the Silk Route and eastwards to China. This ensured its position as a centre of trade and a meeting point for varied cultures.

Today, it is a city of temples and shrines with thousands of devotees who come each day to visit the city of Lord Krishna. An imposing temple at the Katra Keshav Dev marks the spot



View of Vishram Ghat from Yamuna River

that is believed to be the Shri Krishna Janmasthan – the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Another impressive shrine, the Gita Mandir located on the Mathura-Vrindavan Road has a fine image of Lord Krishna in its sanctum. The whole of the Bhagwad Gita is inscribed on the walls of the temple. A popular shrine is the Dwarikadhish Temple to the north of the town, dedicated to Lord Krishna and built in 1815.

The settlement stretches along the west bank of the Yamuna and the continuous line of ghats along the river are best viewed from the opposite bank. The ghats are believed to have been built at the sites of ancient ashrams, where the great sages performed their penances on both the west and east banks. These are pilgrimage spots today especially the west bank which are centres of religious and cultural activity, where the people come to have their ritual dips in the holy river. Of 37 identified Ghats in Mathura 24 are of significance of which the most important is the Vishram Ghat, where according to legend, Lord Krishna took his rest after killing Kansa.

It is at Vishram Ghat that the traditional Braja Mandala parikrama (circumambulation of all the important religious and cultural spots of the settlement) starts and ends. The 12 ghats to the north of Vishram Ghat include the Ganesh Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat with its Neelakantheshwar Temple, Saraswati Sangam Ghat, Chakratirtha Ghat, Krishnaganga Ghat, Somatirth or Swami Ghat, Ghantagharan Ghat, Dharapattan Ghat, Vaikuntha Ghat, Navtirtha or Varahkshetra Ghat, Asikunda Ghat, and Manikarnika Ghat. To the south, there are 11 ghats - the Guptatirth Ghat, Prayag Ghat marked by the Veni Madhav Temple, Shyam Ghat, Ram Ghat, Kankhal Ghat, the site of the Janmashtami and Jhula festivals, Dhruva Ghat, Saptrishi Ghat, Mokshatirth Ghat, Surya Ghat, Ravan Koti Ghat, and Buddha Ghat. Some of Mathura's most important shrines are found around Vishram Ghat - the Mukut, Radha-Damodar, Murli Manohar, Neelkantheshwar, Yamuna-Krishna, Langali Hanuman and Narasimha temples. The baithak of the great Vaishnava, Shri Chaitanya, is also near by.

History tells us that this important site was ravaged and patronized in equal measure over the ages. It was badly damaged during early invasions but two Vaishnavite saints, Keshav Kashmiri and Vallabhacharya restored its sanctity during the time of Sikander Lodhi. It received patronage during the rule of Akbar when the temples were repaired and embellished but again time and events took their toll.

Potra Kund : Krishna Janam Bhoomi



No pilgrimage to Mathura is complete without a visit to its kunds. Tradition has it that there were 159 ancient kunds. Of these only four survive today. There is the elegant Shiv Tal, the more famous Potara Kund associated closely with Lord Krishna besides the Balbhadra and Saraswati kunds. Since then, the Braj Foundation have identified another eight kunds that are worthy of being restored. These are Talab Wali Dharamshala, Yogmaya, Mahavidya, Gokarneshwar, Chamunda, Kankali, Chaktra Teerth and Naag. Dedicated efforts are required to restore and beautify these kunds

The city has a number of Shaivite temples as well. The chief among these are the Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple in the west of the town, the Gokarneshwar Temple in the north, the Rangeshwar Mahadev Temple in the south and the Pipaleshwar Mahadev Temple to the east. The Mathura parikrama, and the bunds in relation to the river is highlighted in Map A1.

The Parikramas of Goverdhan and Vrindavan are of equal importance. They all come within the larger Braja Mandala Parikrama. Of these religious historical areas, only the Mathura Nagar Palika Parishad area of the Mathura UA area is currently part of the JNNURM. It is therefore analyzed for urban services, urban renewal projects, basic services for the urban poor, urban reforms and strengthening of the local body through a Vision Plan and City Development Plan (CDP) and City Investment Plan (CIP).

A1.4 The Need for a Mathura Vision

A city development plan for Mathura NPP area has to sit within a 20 year spatial vision that is different from that of other metropolitan areas or state capitals. Conservation becomes a central part of the development process in Mathura. Thus a synergy emerges between a cultural-historical tourism magnet as a pilgrim centre catering to an increasing number of pilgrims of modest to low income levels. In this process the relationship of Mathura NPP, Mathura Cantonment, the Mathura MVDA and Mathura district assumes significance.

A2 THE CONTEXT FOR THE MATHURA CITY VISION AND ITS CDP

A2.1 The Broader Objectives

With the 73rd (rural) and 74th (urban) constitution amendment acts (CAA’s), several states have focussed on State Development Vision Plans (20 years) e.g. Jharkhand, Chattisgarh. In the State of Uttar Pradesh (UP) however a state vision gets blurred due to the sheer size of the state. Nonetheless, several state level sectoral vision documents have been prepared notably in terms of agriculture, tourism, housing and transport. These would undoubtedly be integrated in the State Spatial Strategy Plan when prepared. In the meanwhile, the Development Authorities of the large urban agglomerations of UP have prepared Vision Plans for their operational areas. It is envisaged that such vision or guidance plans would



be processed as broad brush Spatial Strategy Plans for the development authority areas. For the MVDA jurisdiction, within Mathura district, this is of particular significance as it looks at three municipalities (nagar palikas), eight Nagar Panchayats and one cantonment, within all the three Tehsils of Mathura District and in all its 10 Blocks. Therefore the Draft District Development Plan (DDP) as required under the 73rd CCA and legislatively catered to under State Acts, can advantageously be addressed so as to make its interface with the MVA Prespective Plan meaningful. The specific vision plan for Mathura City would fit well in this DPC framework. It would also facilitate the Mathura CDP. This fact is underlined upfront in this report as unlike a majority of the other 63 settlements in the mission, Mathura UA would not be a candidate for a Metropolitan Planning Committee (MPC) for a very long time.

Thus Mathura UA and NPP within Mathura DPC has to deal with several negative impacts. These include:

• Increasing mixed traffic and resultant congestion, pollution and environmental degradation;

• Encroachments on environmentally sensitive areas (particularly the Yamuna banks, water bodies (Kunds), areas round religious buildings, forests and orchards and

• Increasing demand for urban services, particularly the supply of potable water and power and the treatment of wastewater, collection and disposal of solid waste and improved drainage.

These impacts are broadly addressed in the approved MVDA Plan 2021 through.

• A viable spatial framework for social and economic investments over a 20-year period.

• To a recognition and building on the distinctive characteristics of the MVA particularly in terms of its religious and cultural values, history and natural systems.

• Stress on a continual improvement for good governance through transparency, participation, accountability and effective management.

Thus in the MVDA Plan 2021 implicitly for Mathura UA (NPP + Cant.), the key focus has been on:

• Proposals catering to a religious-cultural tourism based on its growing floating pilgrim population due to Braj incorporating Mathura, Vrindavan, Goverdhan, the Yamuna and its ghats and the Kunds;

• Small- scale pilgrim related industrial growth; • The impact of the North South expressway that cuts through the district; • The impact of the Taj Expressway linking Agra to Noida east of the

Yamuna, and • The rapid growth of Mathura as a key railway junction for goods and

people; • The sanitization of low income pockets and / or their insitu reconstruction

where access to livelihoods is of importance.



A2.2 The Contextual Framework

In the case of the MVA, assessment of the District and its three Tehsils were the essential starting points for a development strategy for the MVA. In this process the MVDA mobilised and engaged the state and its offices, central government departments pertaining to rail, road, defence needs, refinery, etc., the various participating local bodies, the religious, social, cultural and business, trade and manufacturing interests, the community, NGOs, CBOs and other stakeholders within a wider participatory process. The rapid appraisal of the Mathura Nagar Palika had taken into account this contextual framework by the MVDA for the Braj region.

Also, over the last decade there has been a critical change in the roles and functions of urban development agencies. This has led to serious concerns about the functioning of urban local bodies in people centric programmes and for which there are no alternatives to local government and their disaggregated wards as a basic unit of urban governance. For this, urban local bodies have to set themselves with a vision for the development of their geographic area. For this, the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority’s (MVDA) 20-year perspective plan 2021, programmed into five yearly phases for a balanced and integrated urban development of the wider Mathura Vrindavan area provides the basis. On this the Mathura NPP is to flesh out its vision plan over a 20 year framework and enfold its City Development Plan (CDP) for 5 years to be extended by another 2 years. Therefore, unlike other exercises under JNNURM, the Vision, CDP, CIP and projects for the Heritage City of Mathura has perforce to sit into the larger perspective for Braj as projected in the perspective plan 2021 for the MVDA and which has undergone an intensive consultative process over the past two years. In this exercise, the basic urban services needs of the cantonment is also considered.

In a subsequent exercise a vision and CDP for Vrindavan could be enmeshed in this form of synergetic sustainable development for this prime cultural historical area of Braj.

A3. THE STATE, DISTRICT AND MVA DETERMINANTS FOR THE MATHURA VISION AND CDP

A3.1 The State Context

Map A2 shows the geographic location of the State of UP within India. It is the central component of the great north Indian alluvium through which the Ganges and Yamuna and various tributaries meander. Some of the busiest rail and road routes pass through this largely agrarian state with accelerating success stories towards industrialisation and improving infrastructure. The belt has a better ground water base than most parts of India.

Uttar Pradesh is the most populous State of the country (166.52 million in 2001). In area (0.24 million sq.km.) however it is smaller than Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The high decadal growth of population of the State - 25.80 per cent between 1991-2001 against the national average of 21.34 per cent in this period is a cause for concern. In fact, UP is

Map A2: State of Uttar Pradesh within India



one of the few states where the decadal growth rate has been higher in 1991-2001 than in the previous decade of 1981-91 (25.55 per cent – UP but 23.86 per cent – All India). Also, the sex-ratio of 898 in 2001 has been lower than the All India average of 933 and the literacy rate in this period was just 57.36 per cent against the national average of 65.38 per cent. Worse still, the female literacy rate has been a low 42.98 per cent against the all India average of 54.16 per cent. These disadvantageous comparisons offer a challenge to the State and which has nearly a 17 per cent representation in the National Parliament (nearly one in every seven).

In 2001, barely 20.78 per cent of the population of the State were in urban areas (against 27.78 per cent at the All India level). However, this population spread over 633 urban settlements, accounted for 12.72 per cent of the national urban population and which was just behind Maharashtra with 14.38 per cent (largely round the Mumbai region). Primarily population shifts in UP are intra-state from rural to urban. There is also substantial movements outside the state notably to the mega city of Delhi and even Mumbai.

A3.2 Agra Division

The state is divided into 70 districts as per the census 2001. These are grouped into 17 divisions. Seven districts comprise of Agra division. These districts as per census 2001 are Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Hathras, Ferozabad, Etah and Mainpuri (refer map A3)

The divisional headquarters are at Agra and which at the urban agglomeration level is one of the 35 metropolitan areas of India. The division has three of the Major 20 development authorities of the State viz. Agra, Mathura-Vrindavan and Aligarh. The river Yamuna passes through the division and which is an integral part of the flat north Indian alluvium. It is therefore rich in agriculture produce. More importantly, the Yamuna contributes to its religious and pilgrimage fervour especially in the western districts of Mathura and Agra. Historical-cultural tourism is a major economic activity in Agra District just as pilgrim tourism makes Mathura-Vrindavan a destination. Therefore substantial central and state government resources have been allotted for infrastructure improvements in the division – notably in the national expressway (as a tollway) and in upgrading state and district roads, railway guage conversion and doubling/electrification of broad guage tracks, environmental improvement of the Yamuna and its tributaries, improved



air connectivity, tourism infrastructure, small scale industries, tertiary sector activities and other forms of social and physical infrastructure. Laterly, the State Government has spearheaded the Agra-Noida expressway as the Taj Expressway. This is going to have a major impact on the growth of the division.

The Commissioner of Agra division is the Chairman of the Mathura-Vrindavan Development Authority in addition to his other duties.

A3.3 Mathura District

Mathura District is bounded by the State of Rajasthan to its west, the State of Haryana to its north and the Agra division districts of Aligarh to its east, Etah and Firozabad to its south-east and Agra to its south (Refer Map No.A4).The district has an area of 3,329.40 sq. kms and its population was 20.70 lakhs in 2001. In 1991, its population was 16.49 lakhs giving a decennial increase of 20.00 percent against 25.80 percent for the state as a whole.

As shown on Map A4 the district comprises of three tehsils and ten blocks (Refer table 1A):

A3.4 The District Profile

A3.4.1 The river Yamuna meanders through the district. The district has 734 inhabited villages; these are grouped into 89 rural panchayats. It has 16 urban settlements of which three have nagar palikas viz. Mathura, Vrindavan and Chhata. The other 13 have nagar panchayats. In 2001, the average density of the District was 622 persons per sq. km (689 for the State). In 1991 the sex ratio was 816 females per 1000 males. In the same period, the literacy rate was 35.28 percent (approximately 67 percent male and 23 percent female). In 2001, the literacy rates have improved to be nearly at par with the state but yet, it is far below the national average, especially the female rate. Thus, though the district is heavily transversed by train and road, its rural component in particular remains underdeveloped both socially and economically. The main urban areas however are comparatively better off due to the large floating (pilgrimage) population throughout the year and its related economic activities.Table 1B indicates the estimated Tehsil and blockwise population and density of the District as estimated from the census of 2001 and by the MVDA.

Source: MVDA Plan 2021

Apart from the urban concentration of Mathura-Vrindavan in Mathura block, the overall density is highest in Mant tehsil and lowest in Chhata tehsil. This indicates that growth is geared eastwards towards the other districts of UP rather than towards Haryana and west towards Rajasthan. However, the road and rail system as emerging are at present governing the growth of the district through the expanded MVA under the MVDA. This favours Chhata tehsil rather than Mant tehsil east of the Yamuna. However, the proposed Agra- Noida expressway would change the growth profile of the district, towards Mant block of the District

A3.4.2 Climate

The average annual rainfall of the district is around 800 mm. 85 percent of this is received during the south-west monsoon period; the rest is received during winter. As in most other districts of northern India, the summers are dry and hot whereas the winters are cool. Winds are generally light and are mainly from the south-west to the north-east direction. During the monsoons, the wind directions often are from the north-east to the south-east.

A3.4.3 Vegetation

According to the forest department less than 100 sq. kms of land is occupied by forests. However, vegetation along the river is increasing and the refinery and its townships has undertaken large forestation programmes to arrest pollution to monuments especially the Taj Mahal – some 50 kms to its south. It has to be borne in mind that the belt around



Vrindavan was at one time the forest associated with Lord Krishna and the need to reforest this wide tract of land through expertise in natural historical heritage needs to be stressed.

A3.4.4 Agriculture

The soil of the district is reasonably fertile. Substantial agriculture land prevails, where wheat, maize and barley are mainly grown. The recently announced State Agriculture Vision requires that land under cultivation, orchards, horticulture, floriculture, pisiculture and dairy and poultry farming be retained and enhanced in production. Despite this, Mathura District over the years witnessed a steady decline in produce and resultant outward migration.

A3.4.5 Transportation

Mathura District is one of the most important Districts of India in terms of both destination and transit of people as also for the transit of goods. This established the centrality of Mathura City (Refer Map A6). The busy broad guage double track electrified rail line from Delhi to South India bifurcates at Mathura between west bound (Mumbai) and south bound (Chennai) transit. Also the line from Agra to Jaipur via Mathura and Alwar has been converted to broad guage single track. It is expected that this would become an electrified double track line in due course.

The metre guage from Agra to Hathras / Barielly via Mathura is also expected to convert to broad guage over the next 10 years. Thus Mathura would not only be a junction for transit transportation for goods and people but also a major rail traffic monitoring centre. It has also to be underlined that it is a destination for pilgrims from not only North India but also from East, West and South India. In fact, there is a railway surcharge on fares for Mathura; this is meant for improving pilgrim facilities in and around the station.

National Highway 2 passing through Mathura has since been converted into the North South Expressway. In fact from Delhi to Agra it is a six lane tollway. This has completely restructured development in the district. The state highway from Bareilly to Alwar passes through Mathura. This is also being widened along with other district roads so as to offer better road connectivity to pilgrims and other tourists over a wide area.

There are no prospects of an air strip at Mathura with the airport of Agra being quite near and the international airport at Palam, Delhi being reasonably accessible. However, the proposed Taj Expressway project of a 160 km link from Agra to Noida – all east of the Yamuna and totally within UP, would open up the belt east of the Yamuna for industrial growth. For this the Taj Expressway Industrial Development Authority (TEIDA) under the UP Industrial Development Act has been set up. This would require links from the MVA to the Taj Expressway apart from links to the north-

Rail



South corridor. These regional transport determinants are explained in Map No.A7

River transport has no prospects but the cleansing of the Yamuna and its environmental improvement is a major exercise and for which the MVDA have a major role to play within the Yamuna Action Plan project, especially along the bunds of Mathura and Vrindavan due to their special religious significance.

The refinery adjoining Mathura to its south is an important activity in terms of import of crude and its refinement for distribution by rail and road. The township is self-contained and there are several ancillary units along this node. Due to these developments the MVA area is destined to grow between the river and on either side of the expressway in the blocks of Mathura, Govardhan, Farah, Baldeo in Mathura tehsil and blocks of Chhata, Nandgaon and Chaumuha in the tehsil of Chhata. Thereby the tehsil east of the river is being given less of development priorities and more of environmental control.

A3.4.6 Services

At the district level, water supply is most crucial. The district relies mainly on ground water. The Yamuna should have offered a perennial source. Unfortunately Delhi sends the surface water downstream in a highly polluted state. The industrial belt of Faridabad-Balabgarh-Palwal in Haryana further compounds the problem. Thus Mathura-Vrindavan receives unusable water and for which the Central Control Pollution Board (CPCB) has not yet been able to propose and enforce implementable corrective actions. The district therefore is heavily dependent on ground water and for which water tables are receding and salinity is fast creeping in. Agriculture and allied activities are already adversely affected and new industries are not being attracted. A water management plan is therefore required at the national and state level with the MVDA as active partners for settlement development. To increase surface water intake, a barrage across Yamuna, north of Vrindavan is on the anvil, on lines of Gokul barrage.

Electricity is through the grid and this is regulated at the State level. The refinery and its township have a captive standby system. For settlements development, the MVDA is required to seek an enhanced supply.

A3.4.7 Industries

The UP State Industrial Corporation estate in the Kosi Kalan-Nandgaon and Chhata belt took off well but has now slowed down as Haryana is better placed vis-à-vis the NCT of Delhi and the central NCR area through the Faridabad-Palwal belt. The refinery is now programmed for its maximum utilisation. It has generated some ancillaries but household and cottage industries are a major source of employment in the District. In general, industrial growth in the district has reached saturation levels; but there is scope for household and cottage industries. Some hope emerges with the Agra-Noida expressway for



industries in the Mant tehsil. At Kosi-Kalan/Nangdaon and Chhata, revival of vacant industrial plot is an objective with some guarded expansion based on improved infrastructure like power and water and timely disposal of waste after environmental safeguards.

A4. THE MVA PLAN-2021 AND MATHURA CITY

A4.1 Institutional Imperatives

The UP Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973 (UPUPD Act’73) under which the MVDA was established as a Planning and Development Authority for the MVA ensures that the Authority is vested with the responsibility of preparing and enforcing the development plan for the MVA. The MVDA is in addition empowered to declare any area within its jurisdiction as a “Development Area” for providing serviced land and for carrying out and permitting development.

However, the 73rd and 74th CAA specifies new planning responsibilities to LSG. The 12th Schedule of the CAA has listed 18 LSG functions. Most of these are already included in the list of obligatory and discretionary functions in the Uttar Pradesh Municipalities Act 1994 (UPM Act’94). In the process, the need for a synergy between the 2nd and 3rd tiers of governance and planned development has surfaced. Under this, Building Bye-laws is an LSG function and not a Development Authority function just as development control regulations are part of the Master Plan/Development Plan and would accordingly be in the purview of the MVDA.

A4.2 The Statutory Master Plan for The MVA – 1981-2001 as Extended to 2021

The State Town and Country Planning Department prepared a plan for Mathura-Vrindavan for the period 1981-2001 for the MVD Authority. This was processed as an approved plan by the MVDA covering the nagar palikas of Mathura and Vrindavan, the cantonment of Mathura and part of the block of Farah (due to the location of the Oil Refinery in Mathura District). 79 adjoining villages (a few of which are east of the Yamuna) complete the Master Plan area of approx 215 sq. kms. Map A8 shows approximately the area covered by the Master Plan. It incorporate 4 of the 10 blocks of the district.

Table 1C shows the population projections of this area.

Map A8-MVA Master Plan area 1981-2001 within the District.



In 1981, this area had a population of 5.75 lakhs and by 2001 it had 8.10 lakhs people, excluding the regular round the year floating population and which did not vary much. It is only during key festival periods (and which are also frequent) that there is a population bulge requiring special arrangements. A matrix of uses allowed in each zone with Zoning Regulations is part of this plan. The perspective of this plan was recently extended to 2021 but with no perceptible change in land use patterns. This is perhaps due to the fact that most new areas of growth (1981-2001) are yet in the process of being developed. This plan with the extended timeframe, has been approved. Mathura Nagar Palika is at the core of this Plan. The approved land use plan is shown as Map A9.

The proposed land use distribution according to this master plan (1980-2001) and as extended upto 2021 is shown in table 1D and the pie diagram below:

Nearly half the area is shown as an ‘agricultural belt’. Of the rest, only about a third comprises of the 1981 existing settlements of Mathura, Vrindavan, Civil Lines and villages - as mixed uses zones. Large areas have been shown for residential use. The refinery, the Cantonment and the railways occupy sizable lands. The reserved forest north of Vrindavan has sparse tree cover but is part of the heritage of the area. The smaller reserved forest near the refinery has dense foliage through finances primarily by Indian oil. Services, programmes, projects and financial implications are not pointedly incorporated in this exercise. Thus, the plan primarily addressed the requirement of land use directions and controls. Developments are geared towards NH-2 (now the north-south national expressway) and for which the plan had proposed a bye-pass to its west but not found necessary now.

A4.3 Objectives of the MVA Plan - 2021

The basic objectives of the approved Plan are to:

• Set limits for urbanisation for the period ending 2021, with links to the existing surrounding urban settlements, central place villages and other growth centres;

• Create a stable economic base for urban level activities;

• Remove congestion in the older parts of the city through an integrated approach of clearance, conservation and rehabilitation;

• Upgrade or resettle slums;

• Improve basic infrastructure (water, sanitation, drainage etc.) and urban facilities in terms of education, health, lung spaces etc. in existing areas; and

• Improve the transportation network in relation to land uses, so that traffic in the inner city gets better organised.

However the synergy between the MVDA and local government and line development agencies lacked coordinated and programmed actions and growth has largely occurred by referencing to the plan but not necessarily following it due to lacunae in coordination, implementation and enforcement.



A4.4 The Proposed Extended MVA - Phase I

A decision was taken by the government of UP in 1997 to extend the jurisdiction of the MVA. This was done largely along NH 2 towards the Haryana border on the route to Delhi. The nagar palika of Chhata and the nagar panchayats of Chaumuha, Kosi Kalan and Nandgaon and 37 intervening villages were added. These accretions were all in the Chhata tehsil of the district.

The 215 sq. kms jurisdiction of the MVDA was in the process extended by another 59 sq. kms. This total does not include the intervening agriculture area other than 37 contingent villages.

The approximate jurisdiction of the expanded MVDA of approximately 274 sq. kms within Mathura District is shown in Map A10. No plan has yet been approved for this extended area.

The government of U.P. has further decided that the MVA would be again extended so as to include the nagar panchayats of Govardhan and Radhakund and 11 adjoining villages up to Mathura Vrindavan. Thereby, the responsibility of integrated pilgrim wellbeing is to vest fully with the MVDA. This gives a planned development area of approximately 350 sq. kms (refer Map No.A11). For this extended area too, no plan has yet been approved.

A4.5 The Proposed Extended MVA – Phase II

The Taj Expressway implies access to the MVA towards its south i.e. via Farah-Baldeo and its north between Chaumuha and Vrindavan via Mant. Also the existing link across the Yamuna to Aligarh would have to be widened. In addition, all the additional settlements would have to have a contiguous plan. This would require approximately another 100 sq. kms to be added to the Development Plan. It also requires that all the 3 tehsils and 10 blocks of Mathura District are incorporated in part or full in the Development Plan 2001-21

We would thus have a) Mathura District – 3,340 sq. kms and within it b) MV development plan area – 450 sq. kms (approx) – Refer Map A12

Due to recent accretions and transformation

Map A12-The Extent of Development Plan Area for MVA-2021



in transportation profile only estimates were possible to the extended MVA proposals. The State TP Department and the MVDA would be making the population projections on the basis of definite population projections for this area and on the basis of definite development boundaries to emerge in due course. Therefore empirically it is envisaged that a population of around 20.00 lakhs by 2021 within about 450 sq. kms. of development plan area would be a reasonable target to aim at. This excludes floating population round the year and especially during the several festival and auspicious occasions. This is indicated in table 1E below.

In this scenario, Mathura NPP would cater primarily for natural increase and some in-migration as it is almost exclusively an urban renewal area. There is scope for new growth in Vrindavan, the cantonment and rest of the MVDA area.

A4.6 The Basis for a Mathura City Rapid Assessment

The above indicates the framework through which the vision for Mathura City (NPP) and its CDP is to be generated. The MVDA has an approved perspective plan for 2021. An update of this plan is on the anvil based on extensive consultants with the concerned authorities, institutions, NGOs and individuals. These are very relevant in the current exercise for the Mathure City Vision and its CDP through a fresh set of supportive data and discussions in a form of a rapid assessment as indicated in the subsequent section.

• Mathura NPP has a jurisdiction of 28.5 sq. km. straddled between River Yamuna (East) and NH2 bye-pass (West)

• Mathura tehsil (incorporating Mathura NPP, Vrindavan NPP and the contonment) has the highest density in the district. Refer maps A5 and A8.

• It is at the core of the “Braj” religious node incorporating Mathura, Vrindavan & Govardhan.

• For this jurisdiction, MVDA is to be expanded to about 450sq.km. (out of 3,340 sq.km. Mathura District).

• The regional exercise gives credence to this contextual equation through urban renewal of Mathura city as the core of the Mathura-Vrindavan region and of which Vrindavan is an equally important focus for the next traunch of renewal projects.



SECTION B: MATHURA CITY: A RAPID APPRAISAL

B1. OVERVIEW: MATHURA CITY

B1.1 Approach and Methodology Adopted : City Assessment

The analysis of the existing situation is the first stage in the formulation of a CDP. The purpose of the analysis is to make a realistic assessment of where the city is, the direction in which it has been moving and its strengths and weaknesses. This stage is meant to make an in-depth analysis of the demographic, economic, financial, infrastructural, physical, environmental, and institutional aspects of the city and the implications thereof for services delivery, management and governance. As a first step in preparation of City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura, the team was mobilized at head office and a series of discussions were held about the approach and methodology for conducting the exercise. Based on the preliminary discussions and field visits and interaction with the key stakeholders, the approach adopted was a four step process for conducting the Rapid Assessment as a first stage in the preparation of the City Development Plan for Mathura. This assessment was for Mathura UA comprising on Mathura NPP and Mathura Cantonment. The first step involved data collection from various sources including government departments, previous studies conducted in the city for various services, information available from other stakeholders / line agencies involved in the services delivery and governance. There were very few studies conducted by the departments in the urban sector except for some feasibility reports made at departmental level in water supply and sewerage. The data available was very basic, as no proper MIS has been maintained by the respective departments. The secondary data at city level was also not available on most subjects though it was found that some data exists at the district level. No comprehensive data has been maintained at city level. To discuss this and other issues, a launch workshop was organized through the local MLA and the JayCees Club to sensitize and orient the people regarding the CDP. Based on the identified issues, the second step involved meetings and discussions with all the stakeholders. The Expert Team visited the key departments and line agencies involved and met senior officials for feedback on the preliminary issues confronting the city of Mathura. A general feedback on various issues emerged through discussions, interactions and official facts and figures provided during the meetings and discussions. The relevant data related primarily to infrastructure and governance and for which proper records were not available with the respective agencies especially the municipal body. The discussions held with the key officials was in accordance to the requirements for the city assessment.

The third step involved visits to city and cantonment areas to assess the condition of various infrastructure services and governance issues. The issues related to water supply, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management, street lighting, roads, traffic and transportation, heritage and tourism, housing, squatter settlements and governance and administration. The issues were captured using audio-visuals. However, meetings with senior officials of the Cant was not possible. The fourth step involved the analysis and synthesis of the data collected and report preparation. Identification of the missing links and gaps based on the feedback from the client and State Resource Centre (SRC) and incorporation of the same in the final City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura.

B1.2 City Profile

Mathura UA comprises of Mathura NPP and Mathura Cantonment. The agglomeration is situated along the western banks of the river Yamuna, downstream of Delhi at 27o 35' North and 78° 12’, East. The city is bounded by Govardhan, Chaumuha, Mant, Vrindavan, Raya, Baldeo and Farah. The NPP has an area of around 28.5 sq. kms. and the Cant has an area of about 9 sq. km. As per the census 2001, the population of the UA was around 3.23 lacs (3.02 in the NPP area and 0.21 in the Cant). Its floating population on normal days is between 1.00 to 1.25 lakhs per day, whereas on festive and auspicious days it is over twice the UA population. A large number of visitors pass through and as casual day time visitors need facilities for rest, food and shopping. A smaller number of such visitors need overnight accommodation. For dedicated pilgrim population, however, the average stay is for 3 days in tents, guest houses, and modest to quality hotels. Mathura is also a transport node for the agglomeration and district, by both rail and road. Segregation and interface of inter and intracity road and rail movements of people is a crucial component of an environmentally acceptable Mathura and which is to facilitate pilgrim tourism.

B1.3 History and Growth

The city of Mathura is among the seven most important holy cities of India and is one of the oldest inhabited sites of Uttar Pradesh. For more than a millennium and even prior to the medieval period (about the twelfth century A.D), the place had been an important centre simultaneously of the three chief Indian religious systems, the Brahmanical, the Jain and the Buddhist. Subsequently, it became a stronghold of the Krishna-bhakti cult. It is believed that Krishna was born in the city of Mathura and passed his early life in its neighbourhood. Most of the important places in the district are associated with one or another event connected with the Krishna legend. There is ample evidence to believe that the district was far more pastoral than agricultural in early times, as indicated by many of its place names such as Braj (herd of cattle) and Mathura (town of churns). Mathura continued to hold a prime position in Indian history throughout. The celebrated poet Kalidas praised the city of Mathura, the river Yamuna, the Goverdhan hill and the Vrindavan grove. It found mention in the records of Fahien who stayed there. It continued to hold its religious importance in one of the greatest centres of artistic activity during the



golden age of Indian history, the Gupta age. It again found mention in the records of Hiuen Tsang (629-645 AD) who stayed there. Mathura then fell in the hands of Mahmood of Ghazni. It found specific mention in the accounts by Alberuni who came in the wake of Mahmud’s invasions. Though Mathura lost its political importance in the 12th century, it was still a city of religious significance. Mahaban was the gathering place for the armies of Iltutmish (1211-36) in his expeditions against Kalanjar. The jungles of Mathura were the favourite hunting grounds of the Mughal emperors. It is connected with some important events in Aurangzeb’s life. His eldest son was born there in 1639. In 1666, Shivaji after escaping from Aurangzebs army in Agra had come to Mathura. After Mughal rule it came under the Jats who gave refuge to many from Delhi during Nadirshah’s invasion and also during the invasion of Ahmad Shah Abdali. Mathura’s environs were important battlefields when East India Company started coming into power and also during the military moves of the British forces to take over Bharatpur, Indore, etc. The Jats of Mathura district gave a good fight to the British forces. Mathura also played an important part in the independence movement.

B1.4 Mathura Nagar Palika

Mathura has had a Municipality from the late 19th century. This is now called the Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) and which is divided into 45 wards, each with a ward councilor. Currently, the Councilors are not in place due to an issue in court. However, the ward comprises a legal municipal unit for development, conservation, and maintenance. Their jurisdictions are shown in Map B1 below: MAP B1: MUNICIPAL WARDS (45 WARDS)

In Mathura, most community actions are invariably on a ward basis, irrespective whether an elected councillor is in place or not. At present each ward has between 5000 to 7000 inhabitants. Density is highest in the inner core and where mixed use predominates.



The Agglomeration also incorporates the cantonment which is about 9 kms in area. This includes an operation area for oil distribution near the railway junction apart from other operational areas. The sub-area commander is head of the Cantonment Planning Board (CPB), operating under the Cantonment Board Act, 1924. The development is low intensity with well appointed education and health facilities. In 1991, the CPB had less than 7,400 persons but by 2001 it grew to around 20,500. It is now projected to hold about 41,000 people in 2011 and about 72,000 persons in 2021. Therefore, urban services are to be provided in unison with the NPP. These populations do not include military personal, emunerated at their command level.

B1.5 Population Growth and Projections

The population of Mathura Agglomeration in 1991 was 2.36 lakhs which increased to 3.23 lakhs in the year 2001.This included the cantonment but not the daytime floating population which puts additional pressure on the city infrastructure. Refer table 2A below: Table 2A: Decadal Growth Rates. Mathura UA

Source: Census of India The UA has witnessed a rapid growth over the past five decades with an average decadal growth rate of 28.04%. During the period 1981-91 the decadal growth rate has been about 47.90% attributed to a large influx of rural population to the city. However during the past decade 1991-2001, the growth rate has stabilized with a decadal population growth of 35.30%.

Source: Census of India for actuals and projections based on MVDA Plan 2021. The normal day time floating population based on entries by UP Dept. of Tourism and local police is about 1.00 lakh per day in 2001. This is projected to be 1.50 lakhs in 2011 and 2.00 lakhs in 2021. On auspicious occasions, the floating population could exceed 5 lakhs and even 10 lakhs on certain days. For this, special arrangements are made for transport, traffic control, camping, food, water and other ablutions. Based on the above, the population projections for Mathura UA are as below:



a) 2001: 3.23 + 1.00 lakh day time b) 2011: 4.28 + 1.50 lakh day time c) 2021: 5.52 + 2.00 lakh day time

The component of floating population that require overnight stay each day is included in the census. The infrastructure requirements for the day time floating population is estimated at half that of the other population. In the above projections, the fact is also underlined that for Mathura NPP area, the decadal growth rate between 2001-11 is 30 percent and between 2011-21 it is 28 percent. For the Cantonment however, the decadal growth rates are 100 per cent and 75 percent respectively in these periods. The Cantonment Board however are involved only in infrastructure upgrading and not in urban renewal, heritage conservation, poverty alleviation and local body capacity building. Therefore services were required for 3.73 lakhs in 2001 (3.23 + 0.50) and are required for 5.03 lakh persons by 2011 (4.28 + 0.75) and for 6.52 lakh persons by 2021 (5.52 + 1.00)

B1.6 Economic Growth

Being primarily a pilgrim city as the birth place of Lord Krishna, religious tourism generates the economic base of Mathura. The UPSIDC had set up an industrial estate in Mathura along NH.2. Now that Mathura has come under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ), power starved industries using generators or coal have been banned. This has led to industries shifting out of Mathura to Kosi Kalan, Chatta and Nandgaon and to other states with good infrastructure. The water supplied to industries is brackish in nature and is not potable without treatment. Related to tourism as the main economic base, Mathura’s household industries provide its main economic base, with a market that extends not only beyond the state of Uttar Pradesh, but even national boundaries. However the District level industries include heavy, medium and small scale produce, like: manufacture of taps and cocks, petroleum products, packaging material, cottage industry, readymade garments etc. Manufacturing activities are concentrated in four industrial estates spread in the district. In addition many small units are scattered through the city. The small scale and household based industry function primarily in the inner city of Mathura. They cater primarily to the floating population and inner city needs. The main economic activities are based on cottage industries, sari printing, manufacturing of garments (temple related), artificial jewellery, copper utensils, stone engraving, statues, paintings, sweets and offerings. Their percentages are shown in Table 2C below: Table 2C: Percentage of Small Scale Industries. Mathura NPP

The inner city also has several printing presses whereas metal curios and sari printing are subject to bulk orders from other states. These activities largely cause inner city pollution. They could therefore receive incentives for shifting to identified industrial estates.

B2. THE CONSULTATIVE PROCESS

B2.1 Key Consultations

The preparation of the Mathura CDP involved extensive consultations, throughout its preparation period. The consultative strategy involved interaction with various stakeholders like: Senior Citizens, Departments, Institutions / Groups, Industrialists, Citizens at ward level, and local elected representatives and the media. The process was facilitated by the media, to impress upon the general citizens about the objectives of JNNURM and CDP for Mathura. During the preparation of the CDP, two workshops were held apart from regular interdepartmental consultations, and ward level discussions. Press meetings were held regularly during the plan preparation phase. B2.2 Consultations with Organisations The initial launch workshop in Mathura was organised by the Mathura MLA in association with Greater JayCees club on 12 May 2006. Besides, the citizens and members of the group, government officials were also invited to the launch workshop. The objective of the launch workshop was to sensitize the general citizens and give orientation about the objectives and outcomes of the CDP of Mathura under the JNNURM. The launch workshop was attended by more than 80 participants from various walks of life. During the workshop, Mathura’s current issues and challenges, its future vision and way forward for the city’s development were discussed. Another workshop was organized on 18 July 2006 following the rapid assessment of the citys infrastructure and its prospects. The workshop was organized by Rotary Club of Mathura and was attended by various stakeholders from the city. They were briefed about the outcome of the rapid assessment of the city. This was through an overview of the city’s infrastructure and services delivery, current status, issues and challenges and discussions regarding future developments. Important and useful suggestions like water harvesting, solid waste management, women’s participation, quality control, coordination among departments were discussed during the



workshop. Thereafter practical suggestions emerged from the participants, including the women folk. B2.3 Consultation with Officials All the concerned government departments and institutions were consulted during the three month CDP process. Meetings were held individually with various departments. It involved site visits for further discussions. The key issues discussed during the meetings included : past and present progarmmes, current infrastructure & development issues and key prioritized development needs the city. All the key meetings were presided over by the department heads and regular discussions and interactions were held for identifying the vision, key strategies, and developmental projects for the city’s short, medium and long term needs. Besides the above meetings, various meetings were organized by the city Administrator for looking into aspects of infrastructure delivery, governance and reforms process at city level. This included the prioritization of the reforms agenda at city and local level as per the guidelines of JNNURM. The high level meetings were chaired by District Magistrate by coordinating all the key departments and stakeholders about the development strategies and project identifications. The final meeting was presided by District Magistrate in which all the stakeholders were present, viz - departments, institutions as organizations, industrialists, NGOs, press & media, senior citizens etc. All the important issues discussed and emerging from the meetings were incorporated in the final documents. The departments consulted during the exercise for preparation of CDP is at in Annex A. B2.4 Consultations at Ward Level The ward level consultations involved discussions with senior citizens, local residents about the issues and challenges regarding the infrastructure, services delivery and developmental aspects. Besides the consultation process, extensive visits to 45 wards of the city was completed by the consultants with the help of local representatives and ward level senior citizens. The former elected councilors of the municipality were also contacted about the development issues required in various sectors (at present there are no elected representatives in place).



The key issues and challenges faced at ward level included: street lighting, water supply, sewerage and drainage, solid waste management, traffic congestion, unauthorized usage, heritage issues and public-private participation. However, the issues varied based on the terrain, location, area and land use. Priorities accordingly varied. The ward level visits to slum areas were also done with the help of the District Urban Development Agency (DUDA). Slum issues were mapped and discussed with various representatives like CBOs, RCVs, and citizens. The women’s participation and development issues were also discussed and sensitized about the programmes for the development process at the ward level under JNNURM B2.5 The Role of the Press and Media The press and media played an important role during the entire plan preparation. The citizens were sensitized regularly through newspapers, local channels about the JNNURM and city development processes. The citizens were encouraged to send suggestions and come forward for further discussions with the team regarding their needs at local and city level. The press and media also played an important role during the ward level consultations and highlighted the essence of the development process, city’s needs and expectations from the citizens. Besides this regular press conferences were organized during the plan preparation phase including discussions at local cable channel studios for public awareness and participation. The details of the press cuttings and media coverage is attached at Annex B. B2.6 Consultations on Heritage. As this was a basic issue of the Mathura CDP, consultations were held with INTACH Delhi and the Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH at Mathura. Several views emerged and this has helped shape the CDP. The listing done by INTACH has 428 entries. The Braj Bhomi Chapter have agreed to reduce this list to an implementable number. In the meantime key entries were endorsed by them to kick-start the conservation of heritage as an on-going process. B2.7 The Open Forum Process The open consultation process involved interaction with citizens in the municipality NPP office for the draft CDP prepared by the consultants. The presentations regarding the city assessment in terms of the infrastructure, service delivery , governance , urban poor and slums were exposed along with the vision and development strategies. Based on these consultations and the field level visits and other consultations, the projects were identified and put for regional, city and ward level development.



B3. CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES DELIVERY

B3.1 Water Supply System

B3.1.1 Existing Situation In 2001, for 3.23 lakh persons and 50% for day time population, the water requirements were for 3.73 lakh persons. Thus at 140 lphd, the requirement works out to 3.73 x 140 = 52.22 mld – say, 53 mld. The availability of water is the greatest long term problem facing Mathura UA. The main source for the city is through ground water and then surface water. At present the surface water production is 100 MLD at Gokul Barrage, some 15 Kms downstream from Mathura. However, the quantity drawn by the NPP is only 10 MLD due to NPP’s insufficient capacity for storage and distribution of water. Around 25 MLD of water is being supplied from ground water. Even the combined 35 mld is at reduced levels due to evaporation losses, pilferage and wrong usage. Due to shortage of funds, the city network has not been able to tap the full potential of the Barrage. Around 75% of the population receives water at varied intervals and durations. This is partly due to the city’s undulating terrain. The average per capita water supply received is therefore around 80 litres per capita per day (lpcd). The UA really needs about 70 mld by 2011 and 90 mld by 2021 at 140 lpcd. Through evaporation and other losses the requirement could be around 80 mld by 2011 and around 105 mld by 2021. Therefore Gokul Barrage would have to be developed at full capacity primarily for Mathura UA in combination with controlled ground water usage and better management. A new Barrage is accordingly required for Vrindavan and other areas. The proposed site for this is upstream of Vrindavan. B3.1.2 The Agencies involved and their mode of Operations There are mainly two agencies involved in the water supply production and distribution for the city of Mathura a) the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN) which is responsible for construction and production, and b) Nagar Palika Parishad, which is responsible for distribution, operation and maintenance of the schemes handed over to them by UPJN. The distribution system for the city is being maintained by the Water Works section of the NPP. The present setup is run by a Junior Engineer and a staff of 177 including pump operators and fitters. B3.1.3 Demand for Water The average depth of the water table is around 27 meters as per 2001 records. This has since reduced by around 3.7 metres in the last five years. There are around 73 bore wells of varying horsepower and around 25 MLD of water is supplied through this system.



Around 25% of the population is not able to receive, any potable water supply. There are around 22,000 water connections in Mathura NPP area. The connections are not metered and there is no categorization of water connections like: residential, institutional, commercial, industrial, to account for the exact number of connections for each sector. The actual consumption of water for the respective categories is not maintained or recorded. B3.1.4 Treatment Facility There is no water quality monitoring mechanism except through chlorination. There is however daily treatment of water by chlorination for both surface and ground water sources. Chemical tests and bacteriological tests are not being done regularly for checking the water quality. There are 21 overhead water tanks in the city, of which only 4 are in reasonably working condition. The rest of the tanks have leakage and other problems. The treatment of water is carried out at source and at intermediate levels in the city. The water to be supplied to the users is only chlorinated. The prescribed chemical test and bacteriological test is not done on a regular basis. B3.1.5 Storage Transmission and Distribution After water is brought from Gokul Barrage, it is further treated at the water works at Bhuteshwar. The desired level of chlorination is done daily to supply water to end users. There are 39 tube wells which are on contract out of 73 tube wells. The underground circular Water Reserver’s (CWR) has capacity of around 3000 KL, with around 1500 KL capacity of CWR at Sadar. The total distribution length of water supply which includes all size distribution lines accounts for around 250 kms pipeline length. 50% of the city area has fixed timings for water supply, the rest of the areas do not have any fixed timings, and receives water sporadically. These details are summarized in tabular form below – Refer TABLE 2D. Table 2D: Details and Performance Indicators, for water - Mathura NPP.

Source : Mathura NPP B3.1.6 Issues and Challenges

• Inadequate source of water : The need of water for the UA is around 90 mld by 2011 and around 110 mld by 2021. At present the city is able to give not more than 35 MLD.

• Inadequate treatment facilities at various supply distribution centres: Only chlorination is being done, no tests are being taken at regular intervals.

• Around 15-20% of water leakage is reported, which is mainly due to line breakages at various locations, continuous running of water from stand posts, old sluice valve leakage problems, inefficient use of domestic connections, unauthorized connections.

• Storage tank leakages; only 4 overhead water tanks are fully operational out of 21 such tanks in the city.

• Rising main sluice valve leakage problems are frequent. • Power cuts remain for around 6hrs a day and in peak summer, its goes upto

10 hrs, affecting the water supply system throughout the city. • More generators are required to run the water supply distribution efficiently. • Old lines get regularly choked (50%)



• Extreme ground level variation in the city (around 26 m high level differences)

• There are no mechanisms for roof water collection system and ground water recharging system.

• The Yamuna river is getting polluted day by day, as the sewerage and storm water drains get into the river at various locations.

• Water user collection efficiency is very poor due to the under-valuations of ARV of property. No system has been adopted for charging as per the water consumed / category like institutional, industrial, residential, commercial etc.

B3.2 Sewerage System

B3.2.1 Existing Situation A separate project incorporating sewage treatment was implemented under Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) Phase I. The city does not have a sufficient and effective sewerage system. Mathura town is an important pilgrim center located directly on river Yamuna and thousands of devotees take bath in the river, on an average day. The number of such bathers increase by over 1.5 lakhs during certain festival days. The sewage disposal is through existing open drains. Approximately 25% to 30% of the inner city is sewered. These however do not work. Accordingly, the UA is dependent on septic tanks and open drains. The septic tanks in the Cant area better controlled. Pumping stations and sewage treatment plants are provided for part of the sewage generated. The entire wastewater of the town flows through various open drains to the river. About 30 years ago an intercepting sewer and some trunk sewers were laid along the river bank which intercepted the flow from 13 nos. of drains, which was then transmitted to a sewage farm on the other (eastern) side of the river with the help of two lifting stations. These were located at Vrindavan gate and Swami ghat. One other sewage pumping station was located at Bengali ghat by the side of the railway line. Due to poor maintenance, the system became almost defunct and most of the sewage and septic tank effluent now find their way to roadside open surface drains which ultimately discharge into the Yamuna. Besides, there are six nalas which were not tapped earlier - five on the south of the railway line, and one Masani Nala on the extreme north of the town. Masani Nala is a major drain and carries, besides domestic wastewater, substantial industrial effluent from several saree printing industries.



The total wastewater flow reaching Yamuna river from Mathura UA is about 26.5 mld which contributes a pollution load of about 5000 kg/day of BOD to the river. A chrological background of the sewerage system as prevailing is as below: Chrological Background Year Description 1923 The egg shaped brick trunk sewer (22” x 33” size) was laid along the

right bank of river Yamuna in the year 1923. it starts from a lane (Khirki Bishati) in Shahganj Darwaja area and ends at Bangali Ghat. The sewer discharges into main pumping station at Bangali Ghat from where it is pumped to sewage farm located in Trans Yamuna area.

1952-1972 In the year 1952-1972 some sewerage works to tap the three Nalas namely Ambhakhar Nala, Satrangi Nala and Mahadeo Ghat Nala were done. Due to inadequate maintenance the pumping station and sewers became non functional.

1984 In the year 1984, renovation works related to Bengali Ghat pumping station, Intermediate pumping station of Vrindavan Gate, laying of rising main from Vrindavan gate pumping station to Lal Darwaza crossing and to clean sewers and Nalas were done.

Post 1990 Against Yamuna action plan to check the flow of 18 existing Nalas in the river Yamuna some works of pumping stations, rising mains and treatment plants were done. The following works exist: • Bengali Ghat main pumping station • Vrindavan Gate intermediate pumping station • Swami Ghat pumping station • Masani Nala main pumping station • Chinta Haran Nala pumping station • Krishna Ganga Nala pumping station • Cantt. Nala pumping station (dairy farm main pumping station) • Sadar Bazar pumping station

Sewerage Treatment Plant 14.6 mld (oxidation pond type) sewage treatment plant was constructed in Trans Yamuna area. Sewage is pumped into it from Bengali Ghat and Dairy farm main pumping station. The related effluent is used for farming. A sewage of 124 hectare is available off Sadabad road and is being maintained by Nagar Palika Parishad, Mathura. A sewage treatment plant (oxidation type) of 13.59 mld capacity was constructed on Mathura-Vrindavan road near Van Chetna Kendra behind PMV Polytechnic. Mathura Sewage from Masani Nala main pumping station is being pumped in to this treatment plant. The treated effluent from this STP is used for irrigation purpose and the excess quantity is discharged into Yamuna river. B3.2.2 Works Undertaken in YAP Phase-I

Source: UPJN B3.2.3 Zoning of the Town Considering the existing Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), topography of the town and location of existing railway lines, the whole city is divided in seven sewerage zones. Refer Map B2. These zones are described as below: Zone I This zone consists of Jaisinghpura, Mahavidya colony (part), Arjunpura, ranimandi , Matia gate, Manoharpura (part) and Gaughat area (part). The design population of this zone including floating population of 6750 comes out to 1,06,849. The required capacity of STP for this population is 13.25 mld. About 0.32 mld waste water is expected to come into sewers from dying industries existing in this area. Thus the existing STP of 13.57 mld will be sufficient to cater the requirement of this zone upto the design year. The major Nala of Mathura, Masani Nalla, falls in this zone and a pumping station is considered for tapping this nala to check its flow into river Yamuna under Yamuna action plan. Other two number sewage pumping stations of this zone are Vrindavan Gate pumping station and Krishnaganga pumping station from where sewage is discharged into Masani Nala through rising mains and ultimately goes to masani main pumping station. From this pumping station sewage is being pumped into the existing STP of 13.59 mld behind PMV polytechnic Mathura. these sewage pumping station and treatment plant shall be used for this zone. Present area of this zone is 271.17 hectare which may go upto 500 hectare at the end of design period. Zone II This zone consists of Manoharpura (part), Gali Kanoongoyan (Part), Gaughat 9part), Ghati Bahalrai, Nagla paisa, Hanuman Tila, Gatashram Tila, Dalpat Khidaki, Chah Khatoti, Satgharha, Gopalpura (part), Generalganj (part), Dampier Nagar (part) and Ambakhar (part). The population of this zone including the floating population of 13900 comes as 140257. The total waste water generation of this zone will be 17.42 mld. The discharge of this zone is being treated at STP of Trans Yamuna having a capacity of 14.60 mld. This is



being pumped to treatment plant through Bengali Ghat main pumping station and Dairy Farm main pumping station. The capacity of pumping plants and rising main shall be enhanced as and when required. The present area of this zone is 242.88 hectares which will remain the same upto the end of design period as there is no scope for its expansion. The same STP shall be used for this zone.

Map B2: Sewerage Zones, Mathura NPP & its surroundings

Zone III This zone consists of Laxminagar which comes in Trans Yamuna area. Design population of this zone is worked out as 46576 in the year 2039. development is taking place in this area very rapidly along Hatras road, therefore, an additional population of 30000 has also been considered in this zone which is likely to be include as and when the municipal limits of Mathura are extended. The sewage of this zone i.e 9.51 mld along with the sewage of zone II and zone VI shall be treated as Trans Yamuna treatment works by enhancing its capacity to 35.60 mld from present capacity of 14.60 mld. The land for construction of an unit of 21.0 mld treatment plant (UASB type) is available at the site of existing STP. The present area of this zone is 232.88 hectare which may go upto 600 hectare at the end of design period.



Zone IV The present municipal limit of Mathura is upto the present bye pass road, national Highway No.2. But the development is taking place very rapidly in the trans highway area on urban pattern. Various colonies have been developed on Goverdhan road, Sonkh road, and at other places between Gokul restaurant on National Highway no. 2 to refinery township. The population of this zone is also expected as 72000 in the year 2039. A main sewer of required size shall be proposed along the NH with some intermediate pumping stations. Finally the discharge of this zone shall be carried to the proposed UASB type sewage treatment plant of 9.0 mld near Narholi. Total waste water generation in this zone has been assessed as 8.94 mld. At present no area is this zone falls within municipal limits but it may be as 907.12 hectares at the end of design period because many colonies are developing in this trans highway area which is in about 12 km length. The treated effluent from this STP shall be used for irrigation purpose in the fields of Narhauli village or near by village. Zone V This zone consists of Shanti Nagar, Sukhdeo Nagar, Pannapur (part) Krishna Nagar, Radha Nagar, Dampier Nagar (part), Harizan Basti (part), Mahavidya (part) and Naya Nagla. The population of this zone in the year 2039 has been projected as 256463 and it includes a floating population of 7600. The sewage of this zone i.e 31.86 mld, is proposed to carry through sewer of required size at proposed 52 mld UASB STP near the Gokul barrage w/s treatment works. The present area of this zone within the municipal limits is 824.55 hectare which may increase upto 900 hectare up to the end of design year. Mathura junction railway station and some industries also fall in this zone. Waste water generation from these institutions have been taken as 1.20 mld and 1.25 mld respectively making a total waste water generation of this zone as 34.31 mld. Zone VI This zone consists of Maliyan, civil line (part), Gopalpura (part), Generalganj (part) and Ambakhar (part). The population of this zone is projected as 60228 including the floating population of 800. The sewage of this zone i.e 8.48 mld including 1.0 mld from Cantt. Area is proposed to be treated at trans Yamuna STP along with the sewage of Zone II and III. The area of this zone within present municipal limits is 154.77 hectare which may increase upto 250 hectare at the end of the design year. Zone VII This zone consists of civil lines (part), Pannapur (part), Harijan Basti (part) abd Dhauli Piyau area. The area between present municipal limit and NH 2 is partly developed on urban pattern and balance area is in process of development. Sewage facilities shall be required to this population also. The expected population of this area is assessed as 40000. Thus, the total population of this zone will be 107627 including a floating population of 950. The total quantity of sewage for this zone is 16.87 mld including 3.50 mld from Cantt. area shall be treated along the sewage of zone V at the newly proposed sewage treatment plants. The area of this zone within municipal limits is 379.47 hectare which may go upto 600 hectare at the end of the design year. The treated effluent from the proposed 52 mld STP shall be carried to the proposed sewage farm near village Koyla Alipur through pipe line.



B3.2.4 Issues & Challenges

• Lack of awareness with regard to waste water management.

• Topographical level difference in the city is such that the general slope of the city of Mathura is from south west to north east towards river Yamuna with the result that all the drains rising from any point in the city eventually flow into the river.

• All the 37 drains discharge untreated sewage the river

• Low sewer coverage in the city area, (around 25-30%) with most of the sewer lines choked and most branch sewer lines discharging the wastewater into the drains.

• In-adequate sewerage capacity. The city does not have full fledged sewerage system.

B3.3 Drainage System

B3.3.1 Existing Situation The drainage services for the UA is being managed by Mathura NPP and the Cant. Board. Due to the topographical level difference of the city, the drainage is the most affected service. During the monsoons, the storm water drainage severely affects almost the entire city. There are many areas where the problem becomes acute due to several days of water logging. The drainage problem is more acute towards the southern part of the city due to its topographical level difference. However, in the Cant. due to low density, the situation is not so severe. There is no adequate provision of underground storm water drainage system in the city. Most of the drainage lines provided are open, which often get choked due to the accumulation of polythene bags, waste material, and silt. The uncovered drains become a health hazard to the public. There are more than 10 locations in the city where the drainage problems is acutely faced during rains and around 2 meters of water accumulation has been reported in some areas. The following are some of the pockets where the drainage problem is acutely faced:- Krishna Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar, pockets of Mohali road, New Bus Stand Bhuteshwar and areas under bridges. Due to the inadequate drainage lines, the roads often get damaged. Around 10% of the road length has adequate storm water drainage system. About more than 600 km drainage length is required for the city to be upgraded. There is no drainage tax or charges being collected by the Mathura NPP.

Map B3: Drainage Zones, Mathura NPP & its surroundings

B3.3.3 Issues & Challenges :

• Encroachment : Most of the drains along the commercial areas of the city are being encroached by the shopkeepers by extending their shops or making steps towards their shops. This affects the cleaning services by the respective agencies involved in the service provision.

• Open Drains: Most of the drains are uncovered having more width and depth than actually required. This creates an opportunity for the sweepers and passers by to throw waste into these drains.

• Siltation: Since most of the drains are open, lot of silt gets into the drains and reduces the flow. Choking at culverts, etc. are common:

• Municipal Solid Waste: The municipal solid waste like garbage, polythene, plastic carrybags etc are seen littered in the drains.

• Inefficient Cleaning: The city has poor capacity in terms of cleaning and maintaining the drainage lines due to limited resources.

• Clogging of Storm Water Drainage System: This is the biggest problem reported especially around Railway underpasses where the average water accumulation is upto 2 m during heavy rains.



B3.4 Solid Waste Management

B3.4.1 Existing Situation The Solid Waste Management (SWM) system along with drainage is the most poorly delivered service by Mathura NPP, due to the lack of proper infrastructure facilities and overall day to day planning and management. At present the total solid waste generated in the city is around 140 MT per day. Due to the lack of infrastructure and manpower capacities only around 54 MT of garbage is lifted per day which accounts for around 40% of the total waste generated in the city. The silt from drains, is often seen lying on the roadside and along the drains. The system is better organized in the Cant. but they are required to combine with the NPP to exploit a common landfill site. Also due to the inefficient SWM handling system, the wastes often get into the drains. There are more than 200 dairies in the city which contribute to cow dung waste in large quantities, being directly disposed in open drains and nallas. There are no other proper landfill sites and presently the waste is dumped in open sites, away from city outskirts. There are more than 30 nursing homes, and no arrangement is provided for collection of the biomedical waste from these nursing homes / hospitals. There is no segregation of solid waste at source. The city does not have garbage bins and often the garbage is thrown on the roadside. Only two dumper placers are available with the NPP, and the waste is being transported in open dumper placers. The disposal of the garbage is being done in unscientific way, as the single disposal site is around 7 kms away from the city. With around 485 permanent sweepers and 265 contractual sweepers, the NPP, Mathura is still unable to provide satisfactory services in the solid waste management sector. Details of Solid Waste Management in the city is explained in table 2 Ha. Table 2Ha: Solid Waste Management – Mathura NPP Sr. No.

Source: Mathura NPP B3.4.2 Issues & Challenges

• The city does not have proper infrastructure for collecting, transporting and disposing municipal solid waste. At present around 40% of the waste is being collected which leaves around 60% unattended or getting into open drains.

• Lack of awareness among citizens and municipal staff about the segregation of waste at source and at landfill site.

• The city is not covered with garbage bins, which keeps the waste littered at every place and along the sides of drains.

• Transportation of the waste is done in open dumper placers.

• Lot of industrial wastes from small industrial units within the city accounts to the river pollution.

• Most of the important tourist and heritage sites has municipal waste lying around its areas, creating eye sore and foul smell to the people near such areas.

• Hospital wastes are not incinerated but mixed with other wastes.

B4 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION

B4.1 Road Network

Mathura is on the national expressways map of India (NH-2). Also the Agra (Taj) Expressway, linking Agra to Noida has been approved. This would give a viable alternative link from Mathura to the Delhi metropolis without relying on regional movements solely through the neighboring state of Haryana (NH-2). The state highways include SH 39 which passes through Mathura city. The hierarchy of national highways and state highways when within the MVA area are programmed to emerge as bypasses or arterial roads.



The main city level road network mainly consists of Kotwali road, Sonkh road, BSA Engineering College road, Mohali road, Bharatpur road, Cantonment road, Civil lines road, Vrindavan road, KR college road, District Hospital road, Parikrima road and Masani road. The width of the road right of ways (R/W’s) vary from 3 meters at ward level, to upto 24 m at city level and more for bye-passes. The road network inside the city is dense and because of the concentration of various commercial and industrial activities they are heavily congested. The roads – both at city and ward levels are poorly maintained by the municipality due to their financial constraints. The important roads are taken up by other agencies like Public Works Department and U.P. Tourism Corporation. Some of the roads are also being maintained by the Cantonment Board within their jurisdiction. The city does not have adequate parking facilities. Also road furniture like dividers, road signs, pedestrian facilities and other street infrastructure are missing. The floating population and traffic at peak hours becomes difficult to manage due to the limited road widths, encroachments and lack of discipline among road users. Only 35% of the roads are considered to be ‘pakka’. 10% are ‘kutcha’ and a very high 55% are badly damaged. Meager resources keep them in this continually deteriorating state. Table 2Ia shows the agencies responsible for roads in the city. The junctions require improvement and at all places where there are level crossings, road over bridges (ROB’s) or road under bridges (RUB’s) are required, especially as by 2011 all rail movements would be by Broad gauge (double or single track). The single motor coach operated by the Railways between Mathura and Vrindavan is uneconomical due to level crossings. It is best that the system becomes road based for buses. One suggestion is to make the present Mathura-Vrindavan road as one way and the rail track converted as a one way road from Vrindavan to Mathura. Buses could thereby ply and the system could be a toll system with the Railways sharing in profits. Table 2Ia: Percentage of Roads maintained by Different Agencies in Mathura UA

B4.2 Existing Traffic Situation:

There are around 5 major traffic junctions in the city. At present none of the junctions or crossings are signalized. No comprehensive traffic plan has been made by any of the agencies involved in the traffic management of the city. No traffic volumes and counts are available with the traffic department of the Police or any other department. The traffic volume on important roads and junctions need to be estimated by the respective departments. The infrastructure and manpower available is inadequate to manage the system. During the festival season, the traffic force and other manpower is being arranged from other cities like Agra. The traffic department has only 1 crane to lift unauthorized parked vehicles and for emergency measures during accidents. Besides this the traffic department have only 3 motorcycles for patrolling the city.

B4.3 Parking

Mathura has 13 modes of motorized transport – inter and intra – both for transportation of goods and people. In addition it caters to traffic from outside the city. Therefore traffic management and channelisation assumes significance. Citizens say that in particular the inter city bus stands need being relocated. However, 2 new inter-state bus stations are required-one near NH2 and one in trans-Yamuna. Transport nagars as part of the Stations would help in segregating inter and intra city traffic. The city does not have any city bus service. Autos, chhakadas, and cycle rickshaws mainly cater to public transport in Mathura city. Around 70 buses are being operated by UP Roadways Mathura depot. Around 364 trips are being made per day by these buses and of which around 60 trips alone are to and from to Agra city. It carries more than 12,000 passengers per day. The UP Roadways Mathura depot operates from two bus stations within the city. A new bus station has also been developed near Mandi cross roads. Citizens also say that parking of vehicles at Railway Stations and Bus Stations – both personal and on hire, plus intracity transport and which is through a variety of modes need being better organized. In particular, parking in relation to religious nodes and inner-city needs have also to be better organized. A park and ride system and a Bus Rapid Transit System would help in easing the present chaotic system. Zoning regulations also require being strengthened so as to ensure parking within plots, including basements and high deterrent fees for on-street parking. As the city is congested, multi-level parking lots are required and several spots were identified where these are possible. These could earn revenue.



B4.4 Issues & Challenges

• The city has an inadequate road network and parking facilities. The carrying capacity of the roads is less due to limited road widths and rapidly increasing vehicular growth.

• The public transport system is inadequate. The city does not have proper taxi stands for tourists coming from other parts of the state and from other states.

• Due to the mixed traffic conditions, which include cycle rickshaws, bullock carts, trucks, buses, private vehicles, two wheelers, the traffic condition becomes uncontrollable due to the non awareness and discipline among people.

• Some of the roads have been encroached by fruit sellers, shopkeepers etc, leading to a one way system in places and general chaos all round.

• The junctions and crossings are poorly designed and regulated. There are no traffic lights and manpower available at key locations.

B4.5 Street Lighting

The Mathura NPP is responsible for the provision of street lighting in the entire city which include major roads as well as internal streets. The entire management of street lighting is being maintained by only one lights inspector though there are 4 sanctioned posts for such inspectors. The light inspector is being assisted by 3 assistants / store keepers and one lineman. Around 60% of the city area is without street lights. Only 10% of the area is covered with adequate street lighting facility of the 40% served area. This leads not only to public inconvenience but also insecurity and law and order problems. Around 20 years ago there used to be separate electric lines for street lighting in Mathura city. Five lines used to be laid which included 3 phase lines, 1 street light line, and 1 neutral line. Now only four line systems is being adopted by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation (UPPC). Due to festivals, religious fairs and Melas being celebrated throughout the year, the local



body is responsible for providing lighting facilities at various important locations as well as around the temple areas, where people do jagran, parikrama etc during nights. Generators are used for this purpose and mostly on a contract basis. Some of the festivals during which special arrangement is being made for street lighting and power facility include: Haryal teez, Shivratri, Navdurga, Abmedkar Jayanti, Parshuram Jayanti, Gurupurnima, Raksha Bandhan, Janamashtami, Ram Leela, Diwali, Yumdotia, Mathura Parikrima, Jai Gurudev etc which range from 2 days to few weeks and a month. There are around 4310 light points covering only 10% of the area of the city. More than 15,000 poles have no lighting system which includes all major roads, new areas, colonies, malin basties (slums) etc. Out of 4310 street lights, 61% are Bulbs (100 Watts), 20% are sodium lights (250 Watts), 15% are tube lights, and rest 4% are bulbs with varying wattages. More than 500 complaints are being received per month on street lighting issues like no light, wire breakage etc, which are being redressed within 3 – 15 days time period due to the inadequate infrastructure and technical staff. Some of the cross roads and other important locations have been provided with high mast lighting system. Table 2Ka – Types of Street Lightings – 2006 - NPP

Source: Mathura NPP At present the local body does not have adequate infrastructure like cranes with ladder facilities. They have only two street lighting ladders, and inadequate safety gloves and other electric repair and maintenance equipment. No survey has been done to decide about the provision of adequate street lighting facility as per the adequate norms for distribution, illumination, lux level, savings in electric consumptions etc. Table 2Kb: Expenditure on Street Lighting – 2006 - NPP

B4.5.1 Issues & Constraints – Street Lights • Inadequate infrastructure for operation and maintenance. • Only 10% of the city area has adequate street lighting facility. • Newly merged areas are largely not covered by street lighting. • Due to the less availability of manpower, the complaints are not redressed on

time. • The use of generators on contract during festivals is a drain on resources.

B5 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Mathura City, suffers from pollution of air, water, ground and noise. The UP Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) is the key monitoring authority in this regard. The main cause of air pollution is vehicular emissions. The status of pollution measuring parameters as against their permissible limits has been given in Table 2L below: Table 2L: Pollution Survey – Mathura UA 2006

S. No.

Parameter Permissible Limit Existing Status

1 SPM 140 microgram/ m3 Annually 1.5 to 2 times higher 2 RSPM 60 microgram/ m3 Annually 1.5 to 2 times higher 3 SO2 60 microgram/ m3 Annually < 60 mg/ m3 4 NOX 60 microgram/ m3 Annually < 60 mg/ m3

Source: UPPCB The main concentration zones of air pollution are the mixed use zones and congested traffic nodes. The office of the RTO conducts pollution checks in the city with the assistance of the UPPCB. However, to curb air pollution by industries, the UPPCB grants the NOC for their operations only when the industries have an air pollution control device. Main causes of water pollution are domestic sewage, garbage, cattle waste and some industrial effluents. Noise pollution has also increased in the city in the recent past with the increase in vehicular traffic. The Ambient Noise Level (dBA) for basic landuses has been given in table 2M below: - Table 2M: Ambient Noise Level – Mathura UA 2006

S. No.

Landuse Permissible dBA in Daytime

Existing dBA in Daytime

1 Residential 55 65 2 Commercial and Institutional 65 75 3 Industrial 75 75

Source: UPPCB The main zones of noise pollution are the mixed use zones. However, the RTO with the assistance of UPPCB conducts quarterly checks where horns of vehicles exceeding the permissible limits are seized. Moreover, an area of 100 m radius around hospitals and main nursing homes fall under the category of Silence Zone. However, no substantial efforts have been made to cut down the pollution levels around educational institutes and religious sites. The slaughter house in the inner city is very unhygienic. An alternate site has been earmarked south of Mathura Cant, but is yet to be developed.



The key environmental Issues & Challenges are

• Open Slaughter House • Small Scale Water Polluting

Industries (City Core Areas) • Water Pollution due to Garbage • Dairy Waste • Plastics • Hospital Waste

B6 HERITAGE & TOURISM

B6.1 Existing Situation

Cultural heritage and tourism is the crucial sector for Mathura City and its future. In fact, urban renewal centres round this sector. Mathura is famous for its religious/cultural, archeological, historical and architectural heritage. There are many festivals and fairs held here throughout the year, due to Mathura being known for Lord Krishna’s birth place (Krishna Janam Bhoomi). Tourists arrive throughout the year both foreign and domestic. More than 62 lakh tourist arrivals were recorded in 2005 alone, with the foreign tourist arrival being more than 22,000. Refer Table 2N below. Once in Mathura, tourists visit Vrindavan and Goverdhan as pilgrims. Table 2N: Tourist Arrivals – Mathura NPP – 2006 (in lakhs) Sr. No.

Total (Number) 59.00 60.17 60.41 61.77 62.38Source: Dept of Tourism, Government of UP Tourism is almost exclusively of the ‘pilgrimage’ category. A large number of pilgrims do not get registered as tourists and therefore do not reflect in the above table. According to police estimates, on several auspicious days, the daily floating population could exceed 10 lakhs and for which special arrangements are made for channelising people, for traffic control, transportation, tented accommodation, ablution facilities, feeding, health care and other facilities and controls. The city has 12 ASI protected monuments and 3 state protected mouments. It has a good collection of artifacts in the Government Museum. Refer Table 20(a). The Museum has collection of artifacts which date back to 200 BC. The collection includes coins, terracotta,



sculptures, etc. covered in 18 galleries featuring Kushan and Gupta periods. The first Budha statue found in the world is in these galleries. The museum is world famous. The building complex is in disrepair and badly located. The citizens are asking for a new location and building. The city is also famous for its art and culture. There are more than 5 excavation sites where artifacts have been found dating back to first century AD. Around, only one fourth of the excavation has been completed till date. The ghats like Vishram ghat, the kunds, temples, kilas, tilas (excavated sites) and heritage buildings within and outside the city limits are tourist attractions.

There are around 150 recognized hotels, guest houses, dharamshalas and ashrams in Mathura and around 80 establishments in Vrindavan, and around 50 in Govardan. The following important Fairs and Festivals have been identified. Also the Mathura parikrama is world famous and needs being enhanced in value.

B6.2 Issues & Constraints:

In consultation with the Mathura-INTACH chapter and other heritage groups and State Tourism Deptt. officials, the following issues and constraints have been identified in this rapid assessment report.

• The surroundings of the heritage tourism sites and places of visits are not kept clean. A list of heritage related priorities for Mathura formulated by the INTACH convenor for Brijboomi is at ANNEX C.

• There are no proper signage for directions to important sites and buildings.

• The infrastructure facilities to monuments like approach road, drainage, street lighting system is inadequate at most of the places.

• Public transportation system is weak and not enough facilities like city buses, taxi stands etc exists.

• Tourist information booth have not been provided at key locations and destinations.

• The heritage buildings, sacred places like Krishna Janam Bhoomi, Vishram ghat, Potra kund etc are not been illuminated during the nights.

• There is no Master Plan prepared for heritage and tourism management. • Statutory listing of sites, remains, ruins and buildings of archaeological,

architectural, cultural, historical or ecological value is missing.

B6.3 Key Heritage Actions

• With Heritage conservation in focus, the Rapid Assessment for Mathura NPP has endorsed the following key issues through the Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH:-

o That Heritage is both Man-made (moveable & immovable) and Natural.

o That heritage encompasses sites, remains, ruins, buildings and areas of archaeological, architectural, historical, cultural and ecological significance irrespective of age. A statutory list is the starting point to recognize heritage.

o That the list comprises of All entries under the Ancient Monuments Act 1958, to be

preserved by ASI All entries under the UP state Archaeology Act, to be preserved

by the State Department of Archaeology; and All other entries to be conserved by the owners (government or

otherwise) o That the list is to be statutorily processed under the State TCP Act as

part of the MVDA Plan.



o That the list could generate heritage precincts to be conserved, including the river banks and Parikrama Buildings apart from other individual heritage buildings.

In fact, INTACH have conducted an exercise of listing sites, remains, ruins and buildings of archeological, architectural, historical, religious, cultural and ecological significance in Mathura. There are over 400 entries in this list. They include the above protected monuments. This list is being reduced to a manageable number for legal mapping and for recognition of heritage precincts.

B6.4 Identified Heritage Sites/Monuments

The basic heritage list as identified is as below: (A) Ghats (24 out of 37)

1. Vishram Ghat North of Vishram Ghat

The Ghats are all part of the parikrama. Also the temples, entries B 5 to 17 are part of the parikrama, sites and buildings. Based on this list, heritage precints are to be identified so that projects for heritage precincts can be prepared. In this consultancy, a heritage project area is identified for the entire parikrama of Mathura and another project for the Mathura religious water-front. These require the help of conservation architects. The 12 identified Kunds for restoration and environmental beautification is also another priority as part of JN-NURM.

B7 HOUSING AND SLUMS

B7.1 Housing

B.7.1.1 Existing Situation

Housing is in mixed land use zones and primary residential zones. Nearly 60% of the residential area is located in the old core city where houses are situated



along narrow lanes of 1.5 to 2.0 m widths. The density in this area is over 600 persons per hectare and at an average of 6.25 persons per dwelling unit. There are many unauthorized additions and alterations to the housing stock with their accompanying problems. Nearly 75% of the housing is owner occupied, and approx. 40% is inherited. People prefer to buy developed plots to built houses but in any case want and expect the requisite infrastructure to be fully operational. Owing to the low elasticity of incomes, the preference as per MVDA is for smaller plots as the following preference pattern with them shows:-

• 20% less than 100 sq.m • 26% , 100 -200 sq.m • 30%, upto 200 sq. m • 13%, 200-400 sq.m • 11%, more than 400 sq.m

B 7.1.2 Future Growth & Demand

There is captive demand for housing from NRIs and from residents of States like Gujarat and Bengal who wish to settle in Mathura / Vrindavan. There are 6 corridors in Mathura namely Dehi, Agra, Vrindavan, Goverdhan, Aligarh and Baharatpur. Since Vrindavan is, for all practical purposes an extension of Mathura (in religious terms it is referred to as the soul of Mathura), it was logical for new housing and other developments to first come up along or near these corridors. The new developments have shifted along Delhi –Agra corridor which is NH-2. For all income groups except those below the poverty line (BPL), there are 3 agencies providing developed plots/ built housing namely: Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA), UP State Housing Board and private developers. The authority acquires land from the farmers, develops it and sells it as a developed colony for HIG, MIG, LIG & EWS categories. It pays compensation to the farmers through the land acquisition officer under the District Magistrate. The sources of MVDA’s income are proceeds from sale of developed plots/ built houses, registration fees from architects and engineers, penalties for violation of building byelaws and stamp duties. In case of requirement of funds the MVDA borrows it from HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation). At present UP State Housing Board does not have any housing project in Mathura. The organization also acquires land from farmers and pays them compensation. The land acquired is developed as per MVDA regulations and sold as plots/ built housing. Private developers are the major players in the field of providing developed plots/ built housing. They also buy land from farmers in areas approved as residential land use in the Master Plan and then get their layouts and drawings approved by MVDA. The lack of proper infrastructure i.e drainage, good roads, drinking water, inadequate electric power, encroachment etc act as impediments to housing demand as also willingness to shift out from the old to the new areas. In any event, new housing is taking place only in wards of Mathura NPP area along NH 2. Generally urban renewal is the key issue. Accordingly, housing for the poor is a major area for consideration.

Internal Streets in Urban Slums : Radha Shyam Colony



B7.2 Urban Poor & Slums

B 7.2.1 Existing Situation The Mathura city has been divided into 18 slum zones within which 68 slum pockets have been identified. As per statistics from District Urban Development Agency (DUDA), the total slum population in the city was around 1.44 lakh in 2001. This accounts for more than 40% of the total population of the city. More than 50% of the population in these slums belong to SC/CT categories. Refer Map B4 and B5 Refer ANNEX D1 and D2 The slums are mainly concentrated in the north-eastern part of the city limits. They are also spread along the Yamuna banks and on Trans- Yamuna side. There is a huge gap of basic physical and social infrastructure in the slums and which requires immediate attention at policy and programme level. Map B4: Slum Zones – Mathura NPP

Source : District Urban Development Authority (DUDA) B7.2.2 Socio – Economic Characteristics Literacy The literacy rate of slum population in Mathura Urban Agglomeration as reported by DUDA office as per census 2001 was about 55%. There has not been any studies or reports about the dropout rates in the schools in the vicinity of slums. Further, there is not any available source / information about the percentage of slum dwellers into the labour market. This is an area to be studied in further depth at detailed project feasibility level. Communities Majority of the slum dwellers are Hindus, but Mathura UA is heterogeneous in character with other communities like Muslims and Christians living there since several decades. A majority have migrated from different neighboring villages and districts in search of better



employment opportunities in industry and in other informal sector activities related to religious and pilgrim needs. Land Status Slums in the Mathura UA are located on private as well as government lands. Around 50% of the slums in the 18 slum zones, have land/ownership on private lands, the rest of the 50% is based on unauthorized structures on government lands. The slum areas with no legal land status are suffering from physical as well as social amenities as well as sustainable livelihoods. Environmental Conditions & Health Status The environmental infrastructure in the slums is very poor and most of the slums lack basic civic amenities like proper roads, drainage, sewerage, protected water supply, street lights, toilets, solid waste management, etc. There are not enough studies available which show the relation of the slums and disease patterns in these areas. There are only 2 health centres in the slums. There is also a lack of hygienic community toilets at various locations. Most of the slum dwellers do not have access to toilets. There is need to strengthen the basic infrastructure for improving the environmental and health status of these slums. B7.2.3 Basic Infrastructure There is no sewer line as well as no adequate storm water drainage facility in these slums. Around 40% of the slums have partial coverage of roads and drainage along the roads. Only, around 5% of the slums have more than 50% adequate road and drain coverage infrastructure. Around 10% of the slums are affected by water logging due to inadequate facility for drains. More than 40% of the slums have dilapidated structures. Around 60% of the slums are covered with water supply facilities. Most of the people have individual hand pumps rather than piped water connection. Only 1% of the slums are adequately covered by street lighting facilities. There are however around 9564 pukka buildings in these slums. Table 2Q Basic Infrastructure in Slums – Mathura NPP

B7.2.5 Poverty Reduction Initiatives The slum development programmes for poverty reduction is being managed by District Urban Development Agency (DUDA) mainly from the central as well as state sources. Some of the programmes managed by them in past and at present are :

• SJSRY (Swarn Jayanti Shahrey Rozgar Yojana),

• SJSRY (Training), Loaning (Individual)

• DWACUA (Development of Women and Child in Urban Areas)

• LCS (Low Cost Sanitation) • UWEP (Urban Wages and

Employment Programme). B7.2.6 Key Challenges, Issues & Constraints Inspite of various efforts done by the concerned department (DUDA) with assistance from central as well as state led programmes towards poverty alleviation, there are various key challenges, issues



and constraints in order to address the basic social and physical infrastructure in the slum areas. The following are some of the key challenges, issues & constraints regarding the slum development and poverty alleviation:

• No proper listing of slum dwellers • Lack of basic physical and social infrastructure • Basic services are not affordable. • No access to primary health care. • Livelihood options not adequate. • Affordable shelter and land tenure security is lacking. • Literacy rate is low • Community empowerment is weak, • Institutional coordination is also weak.

B8 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK & GOVERNANCE

B8.1 Organizational Structure of Mathura Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP)

There are several agencies and parastatals involved in the urban service delivery process for Mathura City. These include the state government departments, parastatals and local bodies. While the departments are part of the government, parastatals are created through the Acts of legislature or government orders. Local bodies are also created through legislation. Thus Mathura City has a Nagar Palika Parishad. The NPP is the nodal agency for this urban renewal project. At present Mathura city does not have an elected council as the subject is sub-judice in the state. The Municipality is headed by an Administrator, who is being assisted by an Executive Officer. A separate post of Executive Officer (JNNURM) has been created by Government of Uttar Pradesh for the JNNURM project in Mathura. The elected council was dissolved in Dec. 2005, and presently the entire administration is being handled by an Administrator and an Executive Officer. The municipality has around 1200 staff, which looks after day to day activities related to the service delivery and general administration and management.

The governance of the city is characterized by multiplicity of agencies. The critical issues that emerge from the existence of multiple agencies include : spatial and functional fragmentation, overlapping functions, multiple accountability lines, high service delivery gaps, and increasing urban poverty. This results in the lack of inter departmental coordination which is a serious roadblock plaguing local bodies. Coordination is largely left to the District Magistrate, who has a large number of other functions and responsibilities.

B8.4 Issues & Challenges

• Inadequate Technical, Managerial and Financial Capacities of NPP. • Functional Overlaps • Poor and Weak Urban Governance. • High Service Delivery Gaps. • Infrequent - Interdepartmental Coordination.



SECTION C: SWOT ANALYSIS AND THE EMERGING MATHURA VISION

C1. THE MATHURA URBAN RENEWAL AREA

C1.1 Citizen Concerns:

The growth of Mathura has been stunted in spite of the fact that various plans and reports have been prepared over the years to address the problems of the area. The master plan that has been prepared for the Mathura-Vrindavan area and upgraded have also been silent on most urban renewal issues. After discussions with several stakeholders, the following issues emerged:-

• Traffic and transportation is a major problem especially during the festive seasons since Mathura-Vrindavan has very narrow lanes and no proper parking facilities for the people who visit the place. Mixed traffic compounds the problem.

• Drainage in the area is very poor, in spite of the fact that Mathura is situated along and near riverbanks. The problem here is uncoordinated construction work by sectoral departments that have encroached till the banks of the river;

• Continuing reclamation of land from the river and tanks by various authorities involved in the development of the city; (e.g. the dumping of malba).

• Inadequate revenue generation by the Mathura NPP and their weakness to sustain themselves and carry out crucial development and renewal activities;

• Unauthorised additions and alterations to buildings and which are never incorporated in the planning process. According to unofficial estimates over 80 percent of the city has such unauthorised construction.

Among the citizen concerns has also been the lack of coordination between the various sectoral agencies. Water supply is woefully short. It is largely through ground extraction as the Yamuna is heavily polluted. Water Management is lacking. Sewerage is in worse shape. There is a sewerage system for about 30 percent of the city area - with 2 sewerage disposal works - both underutilized. However there are better services in civil lines. Power is largely from the grid but is also in short supply.

Solid Waste Management is weak in Mathura city but a little better at Vrindavan, and the cantonment. Traffic is chaotic; roads badly maintained and in general, large scale infrastructure upgradings is necessary as part of the development process.

Organisational and financial management by the NPP also needs being strengthened as part of a vision for Mathura City 2001-2021.

C1.2 Mathura NPP as nodal agecy

The consultation process that led to the rapid assessment was highlighted in the previous chapter. The entire Mathura NPP area is an urban renewal area and as an ‘inner city’ is



within the larger agglomeration known as the MVA (MVDA being the planning and development authority). Refer Map C1 for the approved Master Plan for the MVDA – 2021 and within which the Mathura NPP area is highlights.

The inner city has been the most neglected area of “Braj”

It stands out due to overcrowding, decaying and unregulated building stock, incompatible mix of uses, unusable/overworked services networks, mixed traffic, unpaved and narrow streets, lack of parking spaces, accumulated solid waste, poor drainage, high pollution levels and unregulated electricity connections, hoardings and street furniture.

At the same time it has heritage buildings, sites, ghats, a riverfront and other footprints – to be conserved through a holistic urban renewal process.

Accordingly, Mathura NPP is the nodal agency for this N-NURM Project

C2. FINANCIAL PROFILE – MATHURA NPP

C2.1 Finances of Mathura NPP

The financial profile of the city indicates the state of the city’s finances and the capacity of the city to be able to manage its finances and mobilize resources for maintaining infrastructural service at prescribed norms and standards. Therefore financial capacity of Mathura NPP has been assessed on income, expenditure, debt service and performance. C2.1.1 Revenue Accounts and Income The financial accounts of the Mathura NPP is being maintained on “Cash Basis” i.e single entry system. The following are the various sources of income of Mathura NPP: House tax, tax on rickshaws, boats, parking fees, taxes from traders and shopkeepers, water tax, water charges, sewer tax, show tax, transaction tax on house sale, advertisement tax, tonga fee, energy operated sources, rent from assets, thakta fee, income from nazul property, income from sewage farm, income from premium, tehbazari, maps, penalties, interest from savings, etc. Besides this the other sources of income include State Finance Commission sources, and other sources like MP funds, MLA funds. It is observed that house tax, water tax, and revenue generated from registration and sale of property accounts for the largest share of the revenue income generated by the municipality. For 2005-06, the house tax accounted for 17 % of the total income generated from own sources, sewer tax accounted for 26%, and registration and sale of property (fees) accounted for 32% of the total income generated from own sources. C2.1.2 Revenue Expenditure & Capital Accounts The municipality spends its resources for establishment, operation and maintenance and debt servicing of obligatory and discretionary services provided by it. The major heads of revenue expenditure include general administration, water works, drainage, roads etc. Most of the capital works are financed by way of loans, grants from State and Central

Map C1: Mathura NPP with the MVDA plan area



Government. The expenditure incurred on the water works accounts for around 18% of the total expenditure, and drainage works accounts for also around 18% of the total expenditure. Refer table 3A. Table 3A: Income Revenue of Mathura NPP 2001-06

(Rs. In lakhs) Year Income Expenditure

2000-01 734.66 765.70 2001-02 750.75 720.95 2002-03 988.87 866.18 2003-04 623.82 736.14 2004-05 1143.17 1187.59 2005-06 1327.07 1318.16

Primarily the NPP is dependent on the State Government for meeting its running costs. It is now necessary for them to increase revenue and to undertaken major renewal projects under the JNNURM. The detailed revenue and expenditure profile of Mathura NPP is at ANNEX - E.

C3. SWOT ANALYSIS

The assessment of the status of the various sectors in the city has brought in a set of issues for city development. While all issues are important, it was considered necessary to prioritize them in order to address them more effectively. The prioritization of the issues has been done based on several criteria including stakeholder perception and technical assessment.

Further, assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of a city forms a basis for preparation of a relevant City Development Plan (CDP). A city level SWOT analysis has been done based on an assessment of the status of various sectors in the city. This sub-section focuses on the consolidation of the issues and describing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats respectively of Mathura NPP area. Refer table 3B, 3C and 3D.

Based on the above, the average rating for livability for Mathura city could improve from below 4 at present to above 6 over the next 7 years.

C5. THE MATHURA VISION 2021 AND ITS CDP

C5.1 The Requirements of the Mathura Vision Plan

The required plan 2001-21, for Mathura NPP is not to be in the form of a Master Plan and which has a constricted objective as hitherto in U.P. Nor is it to be in the form of a development Plan and which does not give due weightage to conservation as part of a development process. It is, in fact best approached as a 'sustainable development plan' where services, transport and land use are considered in tandem as an integrated development opportunity; this however is to be only after looking at forestation, protection of rivers, water bodies and wetlands, settlement/urban level agriculture and market gardens and all forms of organized greenery, socio-cultural and religious heritage - both manmade and natural, as 'positive constraints'. This exercise of 'opportunities and constraints' in tandem is best addressed through Environmental Management Plans. It can however for this exercise be called a ‘Comprehensive Development Plan’ so that it is better understood by all stakeholders. For Mathura this plan has been prepared for the MVDA area through a perspective plan for 2021

The City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura NPP through annual budgets that fits into the MVDA perspective plan is proposed for 6 years, i.e. 2006-07 to 2011-12.

The above arrangements would be in conformity with the 73rd and 74th CAA. Largely for Mathura NPP, the plans and programmes would be in the form of urban renewal incorporating environmental and urban upgrading with enhancement of its urban footprints.

C5.2 The Key Emerging Issues for the Mathura CDP

Briefly through consultations, the following issues were identified:-

• Optimally utilize the available natural resources and retainable physical environment in the development area;

• Ensure planned and coordinated development or redevelopment of the development area which at present is haphazard;

• Conserve and enhance Mathura’s ancient heritage through statutory listing and precinct plans.

• Provide the necessary directions and undertake planned development of the area according to achievable densities;

• Provide housing to various income categories along with adequate community facilities and amenities, so as to achieve balanced growth.

• Ensure that poverty alleviation programmes are effective and cater to the housing of the urban poor through in situ upgrading or reconstruction.

• Ensure adequate provision of transportation infrastructure and traffic orderliness.

• Undertake integrated development of the service industries and commercial facilities in order to weave them with the existing social structure of the area.



• Prioritise facilities that need to be provided in order to achieve the set targets.

• Provide necessary linkages to existing and proposed land uses and • Control unplanned development in and around the religious sites and their

parikrama route.

The above issues are to take cognisance of the large pilgrim influx the year round to Mathura-Vrindavan-Govardhana and largely through Mathura.

C5.3 Emerging Key Planning and Development Issues

The key planning and development issues that have accordingly emerged during discussions with the concerned government officials and other stakeholders are:

• Encroachments on agricultural land and open areas: Urbanisation has expanded in an ad hoc manner, often onto the green areas and open spaces. The rural green (agriculture) belt is also under tremendous development pressure due to non-availability of developable lands within the existing settlement boundaries.

• Unauthorised colonies without proper infrastructure facilities. A list of unauthorised colonies in Mathura is available. Most of them are against the designated (proposed) land use. A few of them which are not against the designated land use have not got their plans sanctioned by the concerned departments. For these colonies, regularisation can be done after charging a penalty and land use change charges. However, some of these colonies are by groups below the poverty line and policies on in-situ upgrading, reconstruction or relocation should apply.

• Exploitation of ground water resources: Only about 25% of the city population presently have access to piped water supply system. Ground water is the primary source for domestic consumption in new development areas. These have to be closely regulated and managed and replaced in stages with surface water.

• The Yamuna as a religious-cultural reality. However due to bad usage it enters Mathura in an impure state. Worse still the steps, bunds and kunds have been destroyed due to bad upkeep and negligence. Their restoration through citizen participation is crucial with stringent development actions and monitoring by the Central Pollution Control Board.

• Floating pilgrim population is a year round phenomenon in Mathura-Vrndavan and Govardhana. On several festive days there is a bulge and this has not been adequately catered for.

• No linkage in land-use planning and financial planning: it is necessary to cater to these linkages. The Nagar Palika Parishad is required to prepare annual and 5 year financial plans for its area. These plans include a list of projects, estimated costs and budget requirement but do not have any spatial perspective. At present, it appears that the UP Town and Country Planning Department often prepares master plans for development areas without incorporating cost implications of proposed developmental activities. In-depth consultation with concerned departments has not been a major feature in plan preparation exercise. 5 year plans are best prepared through wards. For this capacity building is required.

• Lack of sector co-ordination in planning and developmental activities: Industrial, residential and infrastructure investment decisions are un-coordinated particularly in the peri-urban areas where pressures for urban expansion are increasingly pronounced and difficult to monitor and control.

• Synergy between the 2nd and 3rd tier of governance is absent and needs



being strengthened. In general, the progress of plan implementation relating to residential development is reasonable but proposals relating to widening of existing roads, construction of new road links, redevelopment of congested areas, relocation of non-conforming land uses, preservation/conservation of water bodies/ tanks or sensitive areas and management of cultural heritage require being strengthened.

C5.4 The Renewal Strategy

• Through a series of discussions with citizens, institutions, and officials and the rapid appraisal as being highlighted herein, the consultancy upholds a preliminary Mathura City Vision as below: o That Mathura junction emerges as a true peoples rail entreport

through only Broad Gauge Electrified traction and enhanced pilgrim facilities and facilitation including the transfer of the special pilgrim tax on tickets to a special budget for this purpose.

o That National Expressway and Taj Expressway generates sufficient access points to the MVA and the intercity bus stations be captured near these highways. For intra-city and rail station movements be by personalised vehicles and small capacity Para-transit modes including the cycle-rickshaw.

o Likewise, inter-city goods vehicles be captured at such nodes for intra-city distribution of goods by light vehicles other than animal-drawn.

• The interchange terminals be also availed of for truck terminals, pilgrim centres, tourist lodges, manufacturing units other than household and the likes.

• The possibility of replacing the Mathura – Vrindavan Single Carriage Electric coach by a bus based system be explored.

• With citizen participation, some 5-6 Multi Storeyed Parking Areas may be identified. But, traffic management through one-way streets, prohibition of heavy vehicles, deterrent parking fees and the like is a must.

• All level-crossings to be replaced by road under-bridge (RUB) or road over bridge (ROB) and water logging solutions found, even the cost of providing and maintaining for such projects. Foot overbridges are required at several crossings.

• The Yamuna (apart from cleaning under YAP II) should have its waterfront restored and the Mathura Parikrama (a 14 km stretch encompassing 25 temples and ghats) be improved. Opposite bank should also be enhanced as a heritage recreation area.

• Several Municipal Wards be earmarked as heritage precincts where temples, religious buildings, kunds etc be restored through conservation architects and people’s groups.

• Likewise, listed heritage buildings be conserved through conservation proposals.

• The Mathura Slaughter-house be immediately shifted and relocated through a scientific abattoir at an identified site, south of Mathura.

• Ward and Mohalla Committees be activated so that each ward has a plan for paved pathways, street lighting, proper drainage and ablution facilities, underground electric cables (even at a cost), proper garbage management (even through privatised systems).



• Zoning regulations and Building Byelaws be simplified and penalties for misuse and unauthorised construction be subject to deterrent penalties.

• The Mathura NPP be made viable through adequate resources and staff. Capacity building and Training is necessary. In particular, ward level participation be strengthened.

• Through Gokul Barrage, surface water be enhanced as a source through a structured distribution system and ground water as a source be minimised in the inner city (The water distribution tanks of 1912 vintage need immediate repairs).

• Sewerage disposal systems be extended to the entire city and drainage channels improved (Most of them get choked due to solid waste).

• A second barrage across the Yamuna upsteam of Vrindavan be expedited after a proper technical assessment.

C5.5 The Basic Mathura NPP Area Vision

o Mathura as a prime Heritage – tourism and religious focus of the Braj o Improved water quality in the Yamuna, restoration of water front as an

enhanced religious focus o Slum Free City o Improving the environmental ambience through sustained maintenance &

strategies by local bodies and others through the active participation of the people.

o Segration of non-destined uses at the core & periphery so as to encourage pilgrim tourism to Mathura-International, National, Regional



SECTION D: THE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MATHURA NPP JURISDICTION

D1 THE BROAD LAND USE PATTERN

D1.1 The Mathura NPP The fact is underlined that the entire Mathura NPP area of 28.50 sq. km. comprises of the urban renewal zone of the larger Mathura Vrindavan Development Area Plan as approved for the period 2021. This is also true of the adjoining Vrindavan NPP area. Thus the two twin NPP jurisdictions are the core of the Braj heritage; with Mathura serving as the entreport to the entire Braj sacred ambience. It is also necessary to consider a combined basic service for Mathura Cant. with the NPP as they are part of a common urban agglomeration. Map D-1 shows the geographic area of the Mathura NPP. The jurisdiction is divided into 45 wards catering to 3.02 lakh people in 2001 in congested environs. Inmigration to this area is reducing (unlike inmigration to neighbouring Vrindavan). The population of the UA was 3.23 lakh in this period. However the floating population is large and estimated at an average of over 1.00 lakh persons per day in 2001. Therefore for services, the population of Mathura UA was estimated at 3.73 (at 50 per cent of estimated daily floating population). On auspicious days, it is estimated to exceed even ten lakhs. This puts organizational pressure for additional services on the District administration and the Nagar Palika Parishad. The Mathura NPP is the nodal agency for the JN-NURM investment driven project, as they are the best placed for public private partnerships (PPP’s) as a local body. However, However, for financial and other reasons, the NPP lacks buoyancy and are suspect in the eyes of the people. Therefore, substantial capacity building is required for the NPP and which currently is heavily dependent on the State Administration through the District Magistrate and who would continue orchestrating investments through the NPP and other state line agencies (departments and parastatals). Also, dedicated funds through the Member of Parliament for Mathura District and the Member Legislative Assembly for Mathura-Vrindavan segment of this parliamentary constituency would in good measure be meaningfully utilized in the improvement of the city. The Cantonment has its own local body and planning processes. However in view of its rapid growth, basic services upgradation is proposed along with that for Mathura NPP. D1.2 The Structure Plan Map D2 shows the broad land use pattern for the Mathura NPP as determined in the approved MVDA Plan 21. It would be seen from this plan that the most sacred stretch of

Map D1: The Mathura NPP Jurisdiction



the river Yamuna is shared by Mathura and Vrindavan. Thus two separate parikrama’s punctuate the religious-cultural significance of the place. This calls for major improvements along the two parikrama routes. With Mathura NPP area in focus in the current exercise, the temples, ghats and water front relationships of the people with the river has to be improved and largely restored. This has to be extended all along the route and where it interfaces with the crowded city. It would also be seen that the bulk of parikrama Mathura NPP area is a mixed use zone with a rapidly deteriorating ambience, except for the smaller portion engulfed by Mathura Contonment and which largely houses the government offices. It would also be seen from this plan that Railway operational land occupies a large chunk of core land and where through Mathura Railway Junction, the transportation of goods and people is operationalised and dispersed in all directions – north to Delhi and beyond, west to meet Alwar and Jaipur, south towards Mumbai, Chennai and the west Indian peninsula and east towards Hatras and the State of UP and beyond towards Kolkata. Add to this the convergence of roads-primarily through the Road Transport Undertakings of primarily UP, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and MP, it would emerge that transport convergence and dispersal is a crucial component of Mathura city as it generates inter and intra-settlement traffic and which is chaotic at present. Fortunately, except for bulk oil due to the Refinery in the area, the city is not a goods distribution centre. It is in fact a rail-cum-road goods dispersal centre. However, in terms of people, Mathura is a pilgrim convergence centre. This is compounded by the fact that a majority of people passing through Mathura also enter the city for a religious visit. In migration to Mathura NPP area still occurs in non-mixed land use areas, primarily along NH2. Also, operational use in the Cant. is increasing and this attracts a large support population that requires services. As stated earlier, the demographic trends for Mathura UA shows that in 2001, the UA had 3.23 lakh persons. By 2011 it is estimated to be around 4.28 lakh and by 2021 around 5.52 lakh. However floating population is an issue in planning, in investments development, in environment upgrading and in city and district management. Accordingly services are being planned from 3.73 lakhs in 2001, to 5.15 lakhs in 2011 and 6.67 lakhs in 2021. The approved MVDA plan 2021 does stress on the importance of the Mathura bye-pass i.e. NH2 (now part of the golden quadrilateral). They have even proposed a further westward shift of this



bye-pass but trends indicate that this would not be necessary by 2021. In addition the regional plan underlines the fact that the NOIDA-Agra bye-pass east of the Yamuna is a reality and this would give improved access to both Mathura and Vrindavan to their east. The Indian railways are also converting the Agra-Mathura-Hatras line to broad gauge and the Mathura-Alwar line is being electrified and made double-track broad gauge so as to link up with the Delhi-Mumbai rail rapid corridor via Jaipur, Udaipur and Ahmedabad. Thereby, the shifting of inter-state bus stations, and transport nagars would be accelerated leaving movements within Mathura city largely to paratransit and modest personalized vehicular flows. Even so, traffic management and enforcement is a major issue in this urban renewal exercise. From Map D2, it would also be seen that a single large industrial area along the NH2 bye-pass is now being transformed into small scale service units in place of larger polluting units which have shifted to Koshi-Kalan, Nandgaon and the Chatta State Industrial Estates with better production and infrastructure facilities. Thus the city apart from small-scale and services production and facilities also offers employment through household production in the inner city. This primarily caters to religious purchases in terms of confectionery, garments, metal, wooden and other articles. Several inner-city units producing metal curios and printed sarees could move to these vacated paces with incentives for such spitning. Packaging and disposal of waste is unorganized and is part of JN-NURM funding for improvements. Wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower markets are also along NH2. Even here and in small outlets within the city, waste disposal is an issue. The MVDA plan 2021 does address the broader shifting and inner city renewal aspects but translating such visions/ perspectives/ projections into implementation projects is part of this exercise. Accordingly, key projects are addressed sectorally in the sub-sections below.

D2. URBAN RENEWAL THROUGH THE DOWN-TOP PROCESS. As stated earlier, the entire Mathura NPP is an urban renewal area of the MVDA. This is also largely true for Vrindavan NPP area. Thus reforms through the down-top public private participation process (PPP) could be made to work in Mathura through the ward committees and as stipulated in the 74th CAA.

D3. THE MUNICIPAL WARD AS THE BASIC URBAN RENEWAL UNIT

Under the 73rd and 74th amendments, the third tier of government cannot easily be superseded. In the state of U.P., elections for the new local bodies are due within a stipulated period. In such an event, the NPP should be having 45 newly elected/re-elected ward councilors,each responsible for his or her ward. Map D3 shows the approximate



jurisdictions of the wards. In 2001, each ward had an average of about 7,000 inhabitants (5,700 to range). Refer table 4A. By 2011 it would be approximating 10,500 (6,500 to 11,000 range), unless the State Election Commission reconstitutes the wards. There is also a view that the jurisdiction of the NPP should be increased. In general, however, the population ranges mentioned above are manageable for a city of the size of Mathura. It requires accountability of elected councilors for the welfare of between 1000 to 1800 families each. Proper ward level mapping and superimposing ward level projects and drill for maintenance of assets thereof help in transparency and PPP at ward level prior to this being coalesced at city and regional levels. Wards in Mathura are of 2 district typologies. The smaller high density core wards, all with mixed uses, and the more spread out wards of medium density between the core wards and NH2. Some of these larger wards also have mixed use zones. 9 of the wards (all core wards) are along the water front. One ward where the District administration is located is engulfed by the cantonment and at least 9 of the larger wards are along NH2. The industrial zone along NH2 is in one ward as is Mathura Rail Junction. The sewage farm in trans-Yamuna is also in one ward. Thus an intrinsic equation envelopes between the master plan land use zones and the wards. Ground surveys had also shown that though governance through wards is not very strong in Mathura as in most of urban and rural areas of the state, yet, remarkably, local leadership and interests narrate and relate their woes and aspirations in terms of wards. This happens in several settled urban communities rooted to given locations, kith and kin and therefore are very vocal in neighborhood deficiencies and needs. If resources are strengthened by and through the NPP, the participatory process through wards could be strengthened in Mathura through consistent capacity building in the NPP. The fact has to be underlined that the ward councilor is the single elected ward representative. It is for him to constitute his own ward committee and for which NPP level guidelines are required to make such groups representative of all or most neighborhood views. This applies in equal measure to Vrindavan NPP as well but not to Mathura Cant. and where the Sub Area Commander and the Cant. Board understandable dictate local decisions.

SECTION F: THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN FOR MATHURA NPP AREA

F1 CIP CRITERIA

The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) has been framed looking at the level of investment’s that would be required to implement the CDP. The capital investment has been made as a multi-year schedule of improvements of the existing assets/ infrastructure and of new infrastructure. The phasing of the investments has been done on the basis of the city’s requirements and the resources that could be generated from the potential projects to sustain the assets and investments over a period of years. Though the programme is for 7 years from 2005-06 to 2011-12, the phasing through the consultative process has been shown for the 5 year period of 2006-07 to 2010-11, anticipating an overspill into 2011-12 but not beyond. The CIP process involved the following criteria :

• Project Identification • Project Prioritization • Capital Investment and Phasing

F2 PROJECT INVESTMENTS

The projects as identified have been assessed to require phased out investments between 2006-07 to 2011-12, as below. This is shown in tabular form in each of the ten sectors.

The section on Capital Investment Plan details the basis on how the projects have been allocated. Some of the projects which full under the ambit of the Nagar Palika Parishad but can be taken up with private sector participation have been segregated and it is assumed that for these projects 80% funding will be from GoI and balance 20% will come from the Private Sector as Equity and the Operation and Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Private Sector who will also be sharing revenue with the Nagar Palika. In case of Housing Stock for the poor it is assumed that 10% of the project cost will be borne by the beneficiaries. Taking into account the above the proposed means of financing for the Rs 1830.43 crores is as under.

As illustrated above Rs1462.46 Crores will be the contribution of the GoI, Rs 274.36 Crores will come from GoUP and it’s departments. The balance will come from Nagar Palika Parishad (Rs.28.06 Crores), Private Sector (Rs 63.20 Crores) and Rs 2.36 Crores from the beneficiaries of low cost housing. The GoUP will make provision for Rs. 274.36 crores towards its share over the period of 6 years till financial year 2011-12. The Nagar Palika Parishad would required financial assistance of Rs.23 crores as under to meet its contribution (The balance will be from internal sources in the later years, possible because of fiscal reforms).

S. No.

Financial Year Amount from Revolving Fund

1 2006-07 Rs.8 Crores 2 2007-08 Rs 7 Crores 3 2008-09 Rs 8 Crores

The above funds will be required to be provided to the NPP from the revolving Fund Scheme of the Urban Development Department of GoUP and will be repaid in 10 equal yearly installments. While we have explained the sources of funding for the Rs.1830.43 Crores investment the important aspect is of sustenance of this investment. The financial capacity of the Mathura NPP is very low. A brief description of the financial situation is detailed hereunder. In the fiscal year 2005-06 the review sources for the NPP were as under : Property Tax (House tax/ Water Tax/ Sewerage Tax) Rs.154 lacs Other Income Rs.162 lacs Surcharge from Stamp Duty Rs.174 lacs Premium from Sale of Property Rs.123 lacs Government Grants Rs.714 lacs

Income from own sources is only Rs 316 lacs (not considering premium from sale of property) out of the total revenue of Rs.1327 lacs i.e. 23.8%. The income from sale of property cannot be considered in future projections and the share from surcharge on stamp duty will not enhance as the stamp duty rate is proposed to be reduced as per reform agenda under JNNURM. With the above background we also look at the future requirement of funds by NPP necessary to sustain the investment contemplated under JNNURM. The fund requirement for sustaining the O&M of assets to be transferred to NPP is projected as under.

To meet the above drastic action has to be taken to improve the fiscal capacity of the NPP. At present only 35940 households properties in the Nagar Palika Area are assessed and the water supply requirement that is met is less than 50%. The coverage of sewerage/ drainage is also only 10% of the NPP Area. Considering that under JNNURM we are envisaging to provide vastly enhanced coverage of water supply sewerage and drainage we can recover enhanced tax, water and sewerage tax and water charges. The assumptions and calculations on this basis for property tax and water charges are as under.

Other Assumptions – Income 1. Other Tax and Non tax Income increase by 20% annually. Non tax income would

include the enhanced water charges as per the detail calculation above from fiscal year 2006-07.

2. Other Income has been assumed to grow at 10% annually.

3. Government Grants remain constant. However they are after adjustment of installment against outstanding loans from the State Government.

4. Income from New Projects has been assumed from projects which will be with Private Sector Investment.

The following assumptions have been made for projecting future expenditure

1. Establishment & O&M (Existing) has been assumed to increase by 10% annually.

2. Salaries have been assumed to increase by 2% annually

3. O&M of assets created under JN-NURM has been assumed as assets that will be the responsibility of the Municipality and it increases with the influx of the investment.

4. Other expenses have been assumed to increase by 5% annually

5. Since the Municipality is able to improve its financial portion they are able to undertake enhanced capital expenditure which has been assumed to increase by 15% annually.

Heritage priorities for Mathura by Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH :

Mathura district spread over 3780 sq km with population of over a million. A historic city at the cross roads of important ancient trade routes extending westwards to West Asia & the Roman Empire, northwards, via Taxila, Pushkalavati and Purushapur to Central Asia & Silk Route & eastwards to China stands today at the junction of modern India's major road & rail routes connecting north to west, south & east. Mathura - the birthplace of revered Lord Krishna, manifestation of Lord Vishnu, 5000 years back is part of Brajbhoomi region. The Braj area is a loosely defined geographic region with its distinct culture, language & heritage considered to be playground of Lord Krishna. Located approx 150 kms from the national capital Delhi on way to Agra, Mathura is the epicenter of Brajbhoomi. Other areas include Gokul, Mahavan, Baldeo, Vrindaban, Goverdhan & Nandgaon etc located within 30-50 kms of Mathura. The language spoken is Hindi with a distinct Braj dialect. The capital of Surasena Kingdom, during the times of Buddha, in 5th century BC, Mathura was ruled by Kushanas - Kanishka, Huvishka & Vashiska. During Emperor Ashoka's reign in Mauryan era(3rd century BC) Mathura witnessed economic & cultural revival. Subsequently ruled by Shunga dynasty(2nd centu~ BC), Indo-Greeks(180 BC) Indo-Scythians(1st century BC) & Gupta dynasty(4t century AD). Xuanzang, Chinese explorer, visited Mathura in 634 during his travel through India .. The relics of history are scattered all over the brajbhoomi region. Temples, forts, ponds (sarovars), statues of Lord Buddha (from Kushana period) & thousands of sculptures (3rd century BC to 12th century AD) in Mathura museum etc. Mathura draws millions of tourists every year. Mathura has a lot of heritage sites which has prompted a steady flow of tourists in the city. These tourists mainly visit religious and cultural places. International Tourists are intrigued by the sculptures and other art forms in the Mathura Museum and in the Krishnajanmabhoomi where a beautiful temple stands at the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Mathura, today is an important place for pilgrimage and receives thousands of religious tourists every year. The Dwarkadhish Temple built in 1814, with its temple carvings and fine paintings is Mathura's most visited shrine. Mathura has contributed a lot towards Indian Culture through its rich heritage. The ethos of Mathura, and in fact the whole of Braj, is centered on Krishna and his tales. Mathura sees heightened activities during the major festivities dedicated to the lord. The Braj culture has been expressed widely through various practices. Sanjhee is the colourful art of decorating the ground with flowers. The Raaslilas of Mathura have become an integral part of Indian Folklore. According to popular belief, Shri Krishna had danced the Raas with the gopis on the banks of the Yamuna. When the gopis felt slightly conceited about Lord Krishna dancing with them, he disappeared from their midst. In the pain of separation from Lord Krishna, the gopis enacted his liIas (divine episodes of his life) which in course of -time came to be known as the Raaslilas. The childhood pranks of Shri Krishna constitute the main theme of these dramas. Rasiya too is a tradition that is integral to Mathura's Culture. It is the tradition of folk-songs that describe the love of the divine couple Radha and Shri Krishna. It is an inseparable part of the Holi celebrations and all other festive occasions at Mathura. Charkula is a traditional folk dance of the Brij. In this dance a woman balances a column of deepikas on her head and dances to the accompaniment of Rasiya songs by the men folk. The language spoken in the Brij district is mainly Hindi which is spoken in a different dialect. This dialect

is characteristic with the Brij region and has come to be known as Brijbhasha. Mathura is steeped in Hindu tradition, which is visible everywhere. The temples, riverfront and ponds are all centres of religious activity. From early morning till dusk devotees throng the holy places. In their quest for salvation, the numerous Brahmin priests who conduct prayers guide pilgrims. The renewal of this city steeped in history & cultural heritage has to be all encompassing for effective development & tourism promotion- Heritage Preservation- All heritage cities around Mathura to be identified including old city in Mathura, Vrindavan, Goverdhan, Gokul, Barsana, Nandgaon etc to preserve their identity. All development activity should be governed by a centralized body with representation from INTACH,cultural bodies etc. Areas within old city shall be converted into pedestrian zones & only pollution free vehicles be allowed to operate. Waterfront of the city shall be developed to provide for smooth flow of pilgrims. Riverfront can also become a tourist attraction. Identification, preservation & development of heritage structures including temples, ponds etc shall be undertaken. Activities at religious places of worship shall be regulated to prevent harassment & exploitation of devotees. Orientation & training of tourist guides . Cultural Preservation - Promotion of local cultural activities including Raslila, dances etc - Training schools can be set up - this kind of activity can be self-sustaining as it can generate employment & can be a major tourist attraction. Promotion of Brajbhasha - An institute for brajbhasha research with library for preservation of manuscripts can go a long way in this effort. Infrastructure Development- Development of neo-urban areas to reduce pressure on old city. Development of world-class infrastructure including road network, water supply, drainage etc. Tax incentives for development of boarding facilities for tourists from all economic strata .

. Adequate signage display for directions, historical significance etc at all relevant sites. Mathura's significance in Indian Culture is parallel to that of Jerusalem and the Vatican in the Western world. It is a seat of India's cultural and religious history. Therefore, the tourist's current Golden Triangle consisting of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur ought to include Mathura & be called the Golden Quadrangle. Thanking you, Deepak Goel, Convener, Brijbhoomi regional Chapter-INT ACH Mathura – 3 Mob. 9359508690
