<h1>Government outlines comprehensive urban policy using commission report and two-track governance to empower local bodies and manage resources</h1> The chief minister announced the state is formulating a comprehensive urban policy to address rapid urbanisation, relying on a commission report and a two-track governance approach combining state-led projects and devolved local self-government funding. Key legal and administrative implications include expanded local body authority over plan funds, policy measures on land use and water resource rejuvenation, mandates for disability accessibility, waste and flood management, and adoption of technology-driven urban services. The government cited prior land and education reforms, poverty-alleviation programs, and enterprise promotion initiatives as financial and regulatory foundations for proposed urban planning, with upcoming conclave deliberations expected to shape implementing regulations and statutory responsibilities.
