b. Regional Importance
Bellary District is bounded on the North by Raichur & Koppal district, on the West
by Gadag & Davangere district, South by the Chitradurga district (all these district
being part of Karnataka State) & on the East by the Ananthapur & Kurnool district
of Andhra Pradesh.
This region is one of those regions in India where the archaeological exploration
carried on have shown that the evolution of man’s history has passed through all
stages of culture starting from stone age to iron age. Early history goes back to
400 B.C with a peak period of Vijayanagar Kingdom during 1336 to 1565 A.D. The
construction of Tungabhadra Project, introduction & popularization of new method
& practices in respect of Agriculture & mining activities in the area is a remarkable
development in the region as well as in the planning area which imparted special
significance in the economic life of the people & contributed a considerable
increase in %age of the total income of the State.
c. Physical Setting
The sandur hills, the most noticeable physical feature of the district. They begin
at Mallapura (submerged village), on the bank of Tungabhadra & run South-East
for over 48 Kms. With only one break at the two beautiful gorges of the Narihalla.
About six miles east of the Sandur hills are aligned roughly parallel to them from
Northwest to Southeast is the copper mountain range. This mountain range is also
called suggammadevi-betta. It runs from the Daroji tank South-East for 26 miles to
with in about 4 miles West of the Hagari river. The highest point in the ridge is
3285 feet above M.S.L. The foot of the Suggamma Devi betta forms part of the
LPA boundry of Bellary-Sandur local planning Area.
The Bellary-Sandur local planning area has distinct features compared to
neighbouring area in terms of density of population, existing network system,
natural resources etc., There is a general gradual slope towards north due to
existence of Narihalla river, Hagari river & Nallas in the east & western side of
planning area flowing in the direction from south to north. Daroji tank is in the
western part of planning area. Intensive agricultural pockets on the northern &
western part and the existence of seasonal nalas and perennial water sources &
hill ranges on the south as well as on the north is contributing a lot magnifying the
area with its said natural features. The planning area has unique natural beauty
with a picturesque landscape.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
d. Soil
The most prevalent soil of the area as well in the region is black cotton soil
which is the result of disintegration of Horne-blend schist which are the derivations
of old volcanic flows of metamorphic lava. However, sandy, light grey, reddish &
brown soil also occur in the area. Major portion of the area is with black & red soil.
The soil is rich in calcium & poor in Nitrogen phosphate & potash. The excessive
salt content in the soil has led the area into poor yield & not suitable for good
irrigation.
e. Ground Water
The department of mines and geology ground water division is monitoring
ground water level. Office is situated at Bellary.

Bellary has witnessed moderate depletion in ground water level from 3.60m
during 1997 to 4.17m in 2005. Situation in kuditini village is critical & it has
witnessed severe depletion in ground water level from 9.05m during 1997 to
16.99m in 2005. Where as in Aladahalli village which is in proximity of Bellary city
has recorded not much variation in ground water level. It was 6.43 m during 1997
and 6.63m in 2005.

Sandur Town has not witnessed major change in ground water level from 17.70m
during 1997 to 17.73 in 2005. In Taranagar situation is very critical and it has
witnessed severe depletion in ground water level from 3.36m during 1997 to 8.20m
in 2005. Where as in Torangallu the ground water level has improved over the last
decade. During 1997 it was 4.95m and 2.88m in 2005. Daroji village has also
witnessed moderate depletion of ground water level from 7.63m during 1997 to
8.45m in 2005.
The situation clearly indicates that as we move further towards east of LPA
ground water availability is more, when compared to the area around Kuditini. Hence
necessary action need to be taken to rejuvenate or recharge the ground water level
adapting various Methods like rain water harvesting, construction of new tanks,
check dams etc.
f. Geology
Geological formations are of achean origin occurring in elongated bands of
dharwar formation, which is source for rich minerals wealth. The economic minerals
associated with this formation are haematitic iron ore, red oxide of iron, manganese
ore, white clay and soap stone etc., content of iron in the ore available in this region
ranges from 65% to 70%.

g. Seismic Zone
The varying geology at different location in the country implies that the
likelihood of damaging earthquakes taking place on different locations is different.
Thus a seismic zone map is required to indentify these regions. The Bureau of
Indian standards provided first seismic zone map in 1962 which was later revised in
1967 & again in 1970 in the modified Mercalli (MM) of seismic shaking expected in
this zone is VI.
The seismic hazard map of India was updated in 2000(3) by the Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS). According to the new map the state of Karnataka lies in zone II &
III. Interestingly, the Bellary region, which experienced a strong earthquake in
1840’s has been down graded to zone II the 1984 BIS zoning map has placed
Bellary region in zone III.
Bellary region which falls in zone II seismic zone is referred to as low damage
risk zone the probable intensity in MM

1.2 ECONOMIC BASE & REGIONAL STUDIES
I. Economic Base
a. History
The Bellary district which is in the centre of the peninsula, is known for the
exports & imports of agricultural & mineral produce. The principal trade related to
cereals & millets are largely grown in the area. The black cotton soil in the eastern
part of the district accounts for the growth of cotton trade & bulk of this goes do the
Adoni market which has a large number of cotton-ginning factories. Other
Agricultural produces like cotton groundnut, carpets, blankets, jaggery & iron and
manganese ores are exported.
A pre-requisite for a successful & efficient trade is good provision of transport.
With the Development of a network of roads, railway lines & construction of bridges
across the rivers the progress in trade could be achieved. The introduction of the
railway line in 1871 connecting Bellary-Hospet with Guntakal on the east and Hubli
on the West marked the development of trade & commerce in the district. And the
trunk road from Madras to Bombay which pass through Bellary & Hospet, the
Railway lines connecting Bellary with Rayadurga, which was opened in 1905,
another linking Hospet with kottur which was also opened in 1905 have made the
district commercially important. There is a steady & large movement of goods from
heighbouring districts of Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka.
Trading and Commercial activities are of considerable economic importance.
Bellary city is a renowned marketing centre from early times it enjoys central location
with reference to several other large trade centres such as Davangere, Hospet,
Adoni, Anantapur, Guntakal etc., with which it has developed traditional trade links.
Railways have undoubtedly been playing an importance role in the economy of the
district.
To sum up, the economy of the region is sustained primarily by the intensive use
of agricultural land, exploitation of Mineral wealth & the agro based industries
besides spurt in establishment of steel manufacturing related large scale industries.
Trading and Commercial activities have had a stabilising effect on the economy of
the region which now has the advantages of good transport & communication
system. Development of infrastructure is very essential for economic development of
the region to embark on the path of greater enonomic progress.
With the growth of irrigation facilities for the cultivation of sugarcane, cotton,
paddy and oil seeds in the Tungabhadra project area, the Sugar mill in Hospet and
oil, cotton and rice mills in bellary have given added importance to the place.

b. Chamber Of Commerce
District chamber of commerce occupies an important position in the mercantile
world since it meets a widely-felt need for guidance & advice. The need to have a
chamber of commerce was felt to promote the interests of traders & businessman &
for the economic betterment of the area & Bellary district chamber of commerce was
established at Bellary in 1954. It aim for encouraging mutual help & co-operation
among the business community, promoting & producting trade & commerce,
industry, mining, banking insurance, transport etc.,
c. Mining
The region is fortunate to have the deposits of minerals such as copper, iron,
Manganese, galena, gypsum, magnesite quartz, soap stone & decorate building
stones. The chief among all these are the iron & manganese ores. Captain New-
bold back in the year 1838 first discovered the existance of manganese ore in the
threshold of the planning area at Sandur. Even though the first prospecting license
seems to have been issued in the year 1906, the Sandur manganese ore is known
for its excellent mechanical & chemical composition as well as its low phosphorus
content. Exploitation of iron ore also started as early as in 1906-07 and the mining
license was held by G.S.M. Company till 1953.
The bands of haematitic iron ore of high grade which occur cresting the synclined
folds of the Dharwar schists contain rich iron content & are considered among the
world’s richest iron ores. The ore reserves are estimated to be of the order of 1250
million tones associated as it is with haematitic iron ore, red oxide of iron to occur
mostly in the region around Sandur. Pulverising mills have been set up at Hospet &
Bellary & the resultant product is supplied to the paint industry in different parts of
the country manganese ore too occurs extensively in the region around Sandur and
is being exploited on a large scale since more than a century.
Numerous bands or banded haematitic iron ore bridgh grade occur cresling the
synclinal folds of the Dharwar bands, especially the “Sandur Synclines” these beds
of haematitic ore contain very rich Fe. Content and ore ranges from 65-68% of Fe.
Following are the some of the important localities where iron ore occurs.
1. South-west of Kummatharuvu village forming kumaraswamy plateau.
2. On the west and eastern flanks of devadrigudda, South of Sandur town.
3. The Donimalai range south-east of Sandur Town.
4. Ettinahalli-Ubbalagundi range parallel to the east of Donimalai range.
5. Ramamadurga range North-west of Sandur Town.
6. Halakundi-Belagal range South-west of Bellary city.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
The High grade haematitic reserves in the region are estimated to about 1250
million tones.The productions of iron ore in the region is mainly exported through the
ports of Madras, Karwar, Mangalore and Goa.
The Bellary District Mine-Owners Association, Hospet.
The Bellary district mine owners association, Hospet was established in 1953
with an initial membership of 42. Many individual found it difficult & were unable to
represent properly to the State & Central Government in the matter of getting the
requisite facilities & co-operation to go head with the mining operation. Hence the
association was formed.
The National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC), the Mysore Minerals
Ltd., (MML) M/s. Sandur Manganese & Iron ore Ltd & other agencies & Individuals
are engaged in mining operating on a large scale in the region. The Mineral exports
are being channelled on more economic lines through Minerals & Metals trading
corporation of India (MMTC), which has a regional office at Bellary.

c. Industry
The Steel plant in the planning Area is favorably situated in regard to the
availability of raw-materials required for the development of industries. Two
significant factors during the recent decades have made the area to step into
industrial expansion. First one is the improvement in the communication facilities by
connecting the district head quarters and out side cities like Bombay, Vijayawada,
Madras, etc., similarly the important cities within the state like Bangalore and Hubli.
Both railway and roads are contributing in this regard. Secondly the mighty
Tungabhadra project and the resultant agricultural development has added impact
on the economic developments of the area.
Some key industries especially agro based industries like Sugar factory, Ginning,
Oil extraction etc., have started coming up. There is ample scope for further
diversification and expansion of industries by pragramatic exploitation of the
available raw materials like iron ore, Manganese.
The cultivation of cotton on extensive scale especially high brid varieties has
given raise to number of pressing and ginning industry. There is a spinning and
weaving mill in Bellary, is stated to be the second important center in the entire
Karnataka state, for the manufacture of ready-made garments. There are more than
80 readymade garment-making units in Bellary. Besides, the textile industry,
handloom weaving is an important ancient industry, which has survived mostly in
rural areas.
Industrial development in the region is being very rapid during past 5 years.

e. Tungabhadra Project
The perennial tungabhadra river traverses about 320 km in the district and
ranks amongst the major important natural resources with which the district is
bestowed. The water of tungabhadra is known to have been harnested for purposes
of irrigation at least from the vijayanagar period if not earlier. Local tradition has it
that several canals taking off from the river were got connected by Mudda
Dannayaka, an officer under emperor Krishnadeva raya (1509-1530 A.D), through
these channels several thousands of acres of land seems to have been brought
under assured supply of water for irrigation.

At the time of the British administration, Sir Arthur Cotton, hailed as the
irrigation wizard of the South, in about 1860, conceived the idea of harnessing the
water for the benefit of the people of Rayalaseema. After protracted investigations
and examination of the pros & cons of different project reports and negotiation
between the then Government of Madras and Hyderabad. The construction work of
the Tungabhadra project was formally inaugurated in 1945. In 1953 the project
became a joint venture of Andhra Pradesh and Karanataka, The interest of Andhra
pradesh continued though on a somewhat diminished scale and since then in view
of this joint interest the project came to be looked after by Tungabhadra Board which
has representatives of both the State Governments. The major construction work of
the project was completed in 1957.
Salient Features of The Project
This multi-purpose project consists of storage dam canals and power stations.
Maximum height of the dam over the deepest foundation is 48.6 mtr Total length of
the dam across the river is 1714 mtrs. The water spread area is about 378 TMC ft.
The live storage is 130.70Tmc ft. The construction of the project adversely affected
about 30,000 persons belonging to 41 villages.
H.L.C. & L.L.C canals come under the jurisdiction of tungabhadra board.
Distributory canals under the jurisdiction of tungabhadra reservoir division
munirabad.

From the table one can understand the major area of Bellary and Kolagallu
village is being irrigated. 5 villages of Bellary Taluka which forms south western part
of local planning area do not have irrigation facilities. Agricultural activities in these
villages are mainly dependent on the rain. As far as Sandur taluka is concerned
major area of Daroji, Kurekuppa villages is being irrigated and rest of the villages do
have a very lesser irrigated area because of the presence of HLC canal which
passes from west to east of the local planning area and Nari Halla reservoir which is
situated near Taranagara. Hence we can say it is the agricultural activity which is
predominant in the local planning area.

b. Growth Trend
The settlements are scattered across the LPA. Villages near the Bellary city is
developing faster because of industrial development in the region starting from
Toranagallu to Halakundi, which is 30 Kms away from Bellary. The settlements
along the national highway and state highway have the natural trend of the
development along the road network.
c. Urban Rural Relationship
The distribution of the villages and the urban center in the planning area with
regard to physical distance from one unit to the other unit either village or city varies
between 10-15 Kms. Therefore, most of the villages are within the reachable
distance from the urban area. Rural settlements with its surrounding natural
environments are depending on the urban centers like Bellary and Sandur and
rapidly growing Toranagallu village for the day to day requirements. The existing
rural urban relationship may have to be strengthened so as to achieve the compact
and co-herent development in the planning area.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
d. Growth Centres
Growth centers with in the planning area and also in the region plays an
important role in forecasting future probable trend of physical growth as well as
population changes. Each growth pole will have its own sphere of influences with
regards to trade and commerce, Administrative and in catering the specialized
services. The major reasons for establishment of trade and commerce at Bellary,
Toranagallu, Hospet and Koppal may be construction of Tungabhadra Reservoir,
mining activities and related industrial developments in the area. Gangavathi and
surrounding developments including Kampli in the region and industrial
developments in Ginigera of Koppal district will have its own sphere of influences in
absorbing economic developments in the area by means of population, trade and
commerce etc.
The location of Steel plant at Toranagallu acts as a major focal point and as a
growth center in the region. Hence the only approach in arriving at an integrated and
coordinated development within and beyond planning area is the application of
positive approach to the problems with guidelines in channelising the development.
e. Existing Land Utilization
Local planning area comprises of 696.943 Sq Km. there is one city one town and
38 no of village settlements which is under habitation, the remaining area is under
agriculture, Industrial and mining related activities.

The above analysis indicates industrialization in the L.P.A which is an indicator of
the popularity of the region. On the other hand 28.06% of the LPA is forest area &
area under water bodies needs to be protected for the overall balanced development
of the area.
1.4 BASE Map
Base map is a very essential tool in the process of the planning for any urban
area with out an accurate base map effective planning will become a very tough job.
Therefore accurate base map is very essential and foremost requirement before any
planning process is being initiated.
Methodology adopted for preparation of Base Map and land use map for
Bellary-Sandur local planning area
a. Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance survey was carried out to exactly know the
developmenton the ground using old base map, LPA maps, Toposheet maps, etc,.
b. Formation of area of interest boundary using Local Planning Area map
Projecting Area of Interest boundary on the survey of India Topo sheet for lat &
long coordinates.This projected LPA boundary was sent to NRSA, Hyderabad for
ordering the satellite imagery.
c. Acquisition of satellite imagery
The satellite imagery is procured from the agency named Digital Globe
Services Inc. based at USA through their selling agency , NRSA , Hyderabad.
Specification of the imagery is as follows.
The resolution of imagery is 0.60 meters, and sample distance at 15deg

1.5 ARCHAEOLOGY
There are many archaeological monuments in the Lcal Planning Area. The
important ones are
a. Bellary fort, which is at middle of the city.
b. Krishnanagar fort at Krishnanagara
c. Stone age site at Sanganakallu village
Brief history and details of the monuments are given in the paragraphs below.
a. Bellary Fort
The Bellary Fort located atop a granite hillock, is an important land mark in the
city of Bellary. The entire hillock is utilized effectively to build the fort and defence
mechanism. This fort is figured in the list of forts that were captured by the Hoysala
king Vishnuvardhna, which attests to the fact that the fort existed during the 12 th
century. In 1131 AD, Bivarasa, a Mahamandalesvara was administering the Bellary
region. Rachamalla, a king of Sinda dynasty of Kurugodu is referred to in an
inscription as Rachamalladevarasa of Bellary. It is generally ascribed that he was
responsible for building two temples atop the hill inside the fort, which stylistically
belong to the Sinda's of Kurugodu. This fort is generally believed to have been built
by eertain Timmappa, who was administering this area during the time of
Vijayanagara king Sri Krishnadevaraya. After the downfall of Vijayanagara kingdom
Paleyagar chieftain Hanumappa Nayaka of Hande Paleyagars was ruling this region,
which chiefdom continued to rule till 163,1 AD. It was during their rule this fort was
built systematically. Later on this fort came under the control of Muslim and later in
1678 AD Sivaji took over the fort. Aurangazeb got control over this region and this
fort also became a part of his domain and again in 1692 AD, this fort passed onto
hands of Paleyagars. Bellary region was under the control of Ramappa in 1764 AD,
who was under the control of Basalat Jang of Adavani. In 1775 AD, Hyder Ali seized
this fort and built upper and lower fortification walls. This fort remained with Tippu
Sultan till 1792 AD and subsequently passed on to Nizam of Hyderabad and East
India Company in 1800 AD successively. From 1823 AD to 1864 AD, Muzaffar
Khan, the Nawab of Kurnool was imprisoned here in this fort. During the time of
British occupancy, a number of buildings were constructed in the lower fort.
Of the four fortification walls, the outer most or first fortification encompasses the
plain area of eastern part of the hill while the other three walls are situated atop the
hill. The outer fortification wall is built by using huge blocks of stones and smaller
stones have been used at such places, where repair works were done at later stage.
Both square and circular bastions are found in the fort. Provisions have been made
for small openings in the fortification wall to place the guns and the thick brick walls
on the bastions for placing canons. Interesting relief sculptures are found carved on
the bastion stones found at the north-western side of the outer fortification wall.

1.6 ENVIRONMENT
a. Impact Of Mining And Industrial Activity In The Region
The industrial development happening in the region is because of
availability of rich resources, manpower and good communication facilities. It is
important to caveat industrial growth unless proper planning and zoning is done.
The development may result in economic growth at the cost of lowering the quality of
life by infrastructure and environmental stress.
This region is being identified as one of the hot spots in mining activity. The
increase in mining activity in the region will lead to further deterioration of water
quality of River Tungabhadra and various streams, silting of Tungabhadrra reservoir
and ponds of the region. It is likely to raise the suspended particulate matter (SPM)
leading to adverse health impacts. The increase in mining has caused pollution and
environment degradation. The infrastructure is being over burdened and National
Highway No.13 and state Highways are in bad shape due to movement of
abnormally loaded heavy trucks and vehicles. The modern technology with improved
transportation of heavy capacity has deteriorated the road infrastructure. About 95%
of the industries located in the region are predominantly air pollution dominating
industries.
Polluting industries in Bellary are
1. Steel Industries
2. Iron ore processing industries
3. Stone crusher
4. Jean Washing units
5. Cotton ginning industries

About 95% of the industries located in Bellary district are predominantly either nonpolluting
or Air pollution dominating industries.
The excessive movement of transportation vehicles that carries iron ore and
number of consumer vehicles and also in addition to the bad roads has resulted in
excessive air pollution in the urban area. It is also noted here that due to windy
atmosphere and loose black cotton soil air pollution has predominantly increased.
Bellary also generates lot of employment potential and revenue from garments
washing units. These units are located inside the municipal limits causing water
pollution in the surrounding areas.
b. Action Needs To Be Taken
Due to rapid industrialization in the region and urbanization, air
pollution problem is predominant in Bellary city & Sandur Town. This could
effectively be controlled by
1. Restricting the vehicles entering the city.
2. Restricting the time of entry and exit in the city limits
3. By improving the conditions of roads i.e. constructing concrete paved roads etc.,
4. Construction of 30 m wide bye pass road and other important roads as proposed
in Master Plan ( Revision-1)
5. Adoption of pollution control methods as suggested by KSPCB by the
Industrialists & the concerned agencies.
6. Afforestation of the area, road arboriculture etc.
Pollution Control Board Regional office, Bellary once in a month is conducting
environmental awareness program involving NGO’s and various stakeholders like
general public, self employed women organizations and school children.
c. Role Of Local Bodies
Mahanagarapalike,Bellary Urban Development Authority, Town Municipla
Council and Grama panchayaths in association with the NGO’s, Educational.
Institutions and interested parties have to form community participation committee
43

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
and shall involve social communities in order to bring awareness among the citizens
which directly helps in monitoring and implementation of solid waste (management
and handling) rules-2000.
The above said agencies shall strictly enforce the rainwater harvesting and
recharging of ground water for high-rise buildings, apartments, commercial
complexes, layouts etc.
Burning of solid waste on the streets has to be immediately stopped and it is
recommended to collect the solid waste at the source and disposed off as per the
solid waste rules.
There are number of individual animal cutters and some slaughterhouses are
located within the city munand intensely populated areas. Almost all the
slaughterhouses are not provided with treatment facility. The effluent is discharging
to municipal drainage without treatment. It is recommended to provide separate area
for identified slaughterhouses and to be located outside Municipal limits with effluent
treatment facility.
The District administration / local body shall allot a separate ground for the
bursting of crackers to celebrate Deepavali festival.

CHAPTER-4
HOUSING HOUSING STUDIES
STUDIES
Housing is one of the basic need of human beings. In premitive ages
also, people use to construct houses for their living. But the standard of houses was
far below in quality and other aspects of Planning standards.
Day by day the gravity of the housing problem is increasing severely and
enormously. As such many unauthorized and undeveloped areas are coming
haphazardly. Therefore it is very essential to study the existing housing conditions
and the problems faced by the people in solving the need and demand of housing
which will throw light on the social, cultural and economic aspects of people and will
be a guide line for planning future housing colonies. Proper housing with good
environment is conducive for healthy living and is one of the pre-requiste for
satisfactory development of the city.

divisions. The Mahanagar Palike owns 3 tractors and 2 mini lorries and 3 trippers and
6 dumper placers, 1 Jindal dumper placer and 1 compac container motor transports

make 4-5 trips per day. Most of the dust bins are cleared either daily or twice or thrice
a week. Total of 120 tonnes of waste is estimated to be generated per day in the city
of which around 106-110 tonnes are collected. Waste collection efficiency of the
corporation is about 80% per capita waste, generated is about 440 grams/ capita / day
which is well above the norm of 365 grams/capita/day, followed by the commercial
and market waste at roughly 10% each, construction waste 8-10%, hospital waste at
about 3% and other wastes at about 3%.
The Mahanagara Palike has provided about 101-dumper placer container, 11
compac containers and 50 compac containers are yet to be procured. The dustbins
are inadequate in Nos. and over flow in most places. At present the city’s solid waste
is disposed at one place, Compost yard on Rupanagudi road. A landfilling site to an
extent of 16.32 acres at Bisilahalli Sy. No. 147, behind BSAL has already been
acquired but approach road is under litigation. The city corporation has to take further
necessary action to dispose off the waste generated in the city scientifically.

CHAPTER-6
TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTATION AND AND COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION
Consequent on invention of machinery and development of automobile industry,
automobiles have reduced the time required to move from one place to another. But
enormous increases in the number of all types of vehicles has created traffic hazard
especially in the thickly populated areas and the central business district. The roads
designed earlier are not coping with the present day requirements. It demands
Comprehensive Development of roads in a very large scale, which require large
expenditure.
The nature and magnitude of the traffic problems of the Bellary City are discussed
below.
a. The Road Length and Surface
The City Municipality is maintaining about 479 Kms. Length of road & details of
which are given in the table below.

Soures: Mahanagarapalike, Bellary.
One N.H.63 passes through the city and is maintained by National Highway
department and state high way No:19, 128 and 132 & major district roads are being
maintained by the public works department.
In general, the existing width of roads does not cope up with present intensity of
traffic, which requires improvement and widening.
b. Existing Road Pattern and Traffic Flow
The bulk of Traffic generated in the city moves through the main cement concrete
road connecting railway station to the bazaar area, Cowl bazaar, Medical College,
Hospet Road, Bangalore Road, Siruguppa Road, Anantapur Road, towards
Gandhinagar. These roads are part of Madras Trunk Road (N.H.63). Siruguppa road
State Highway No: 19, and major District and other district roads. The portions
particularly from old Bus Stand to Bangalore Road Circle, Old Bus Stand to Mothi
Circle, Brahmin Street, Car Street, Cowl bazar, Main road, Raghavendra Talkies road
are the central business are instead of being more wider are very narrow.
77

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
The other important roads are 1) Kalamma Street, 2) K.S.R.T.C Depot Road. 3)
Ghosia Hospital Road, 4) Kamela Road. 5) Kappagal Road. 6) Sangankal Road. 7)
Krishnamachari Road.
The road pattern is most inconvenient and most of the vehicular traffic pass through
the central business district causing traffic hazards and congestion.
c. “Non Descript” Function Of The Road
Much of the traffic congestion from old Bus Stand and towards Bangalore road can
be attributed to Non-descript function of the road. The road portions now carry only
light vehicular traffic and they also serve a shopping corridor. They also give access
to various localities. At present it is functioning as a one way road but this
arrangement has not provided any relief to the traffic congestion.
The Lateral roads originating from this road should be taken up for widening for
segregating the traffic.
d. Parking
There are no organized parking spaces any where in the city. Few theatres have
provided parking space. The parking of vehicle is a problem at the following places.
Near old Bus stand. Whole of Bangalore road and Main Bazaar Road, Near all the
theatres. Vegetable market area.
Adequate parking facilities are necessary at these places. In the city there are no
bus-bays. The city buses stops at the junction of the roads blocking the entire road.
e. Increasing Number of Vehicles
The increase in the number of vehicles in the past 10 years is enormous. The
number of heavy vehicles, cars and jeeps has increased three folds. The motor
cycles and scooters also have increased in large numbers. Details are given the table
below.
78

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
f. Mass Transit
The mass transit run by K.S.R.T.C Serves almost to the entire city except
for some areas, but the frequency of buses is considerably less due to shortage of
buses. Efforts are being made by KSRTC to increase the number of trips and routes.
K.S.R.T.C also have arranged buses for the transit of school going children
separately.

Raghavakala Mandira Circle. New private bus stand is being built in nallacheravu area
but so far this bus stand is not put to use. Action need to be taken by the department
concerned in this regard since the new KSRTC bus stand is already functioning next
to it which in turn facilitate the movement of the public.
There are Bus depots, Divisional workshops and Divisional offices situated along
Siruguppa road on a land measuring 20.00 acres. There is a city Bus stand opposite
to BSNL office and a stoppage point at VIMS also which serves as city transport
stoppage points, which caters to the movement of public in the city limits.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
In the crowded areas like, Bangalore Road, Vegetable market, Car street, Kalamma
Street, Double Road etc., the roads are narrow and are creating traffic hazards. The
pedestrian traffic is also more in these places because of No. of cinema houses and
commercial establishments on Bangalore Road.
In the plan proposals, widening of roads are marked so as to allow quick movement
of vehicular traffic and make the interior areas approachable and to remove
congestion.

h. Traffic Circles
In the city there are no well designed traffic circles, even on many important road
intersections. Few traffic islands are erected which are temporary in nature. Circle
improvement and beautification should be taken up on priority at these juncation.
Republic Circle 2) Mothi circle 3) Royal Circle 4) D.C.Office Circle 5) S.P.Circle 6)
Sudha cross 7)Fort Circle etc.,
The above said circles should be redesigned and to be developed either by local
bodies or on PPP basis.
i. Railway Crossings
The very entrance to the Bellary City from Hospet Road is a railway level crossing.
The heavy vehicles like Buses and Lorries have to stop at the level Crossing
frequently could not cross the level crossing easily. Apart from this, few other level
crossings are.
1) Near Veerashaiva College 2) Near Radio Park (second gate) 3) Cowl bazaar
Entrance(first gate) 4) Near Gandhinagar. There is one railway under bridge near
Mothi Talkies and one railway over bridge near Bus Stand.
P.W.D in association with local bodies must take initiation to construct either a fly
over or road under bridge at various points of level crossing within the city so as to
ease out the movement of both state/inter state and local traffic at these junctions.
j. Road Side Plantation
Very few trees are planted on either side of the important roads by the
Forest Department. Tree plantation should be taken up in the new extension areas
also. Encouragement has to be given to public for planting saplings in front of their
houses and in open spaces and parks of the city.

Note: Please refer land use map.
a. RESIDENTIAL USE
Total 3485.80 100.00
Total built up area 3875.86
The total area under residential use is 1443.21 hectares which is 41.40% of the
developed area. The intensity of development varies from place to place. Residential
developments are concentrated in Cowl Bazar, Brucepet Bandimote, S.N.Pet, Gandhi
Nagar, Devi Nagar, Netajinagar, Vidhya Nagar, Patel Nagar, Raghavendra colony,
Basaveshwara Nagar, Nehru Colony and Parvathinagar areas. The railway
authorities have a separate colony within their limit. The residential areas like Bruce
pet, Bangalore Road, Cowl Bazar are thickly populated with narrow roads. New
residential developments are coming up in the vacant lands in the older areas as well
as around the city Development in the extension areas along Hospet Road, Kappagal
Road, and Sanganakallu Road etc.
81

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
b. COMMERCIAL USE
The area under commercial use is 186.25 hectares which is 5.34% of the total
developed area. The city is an important commercial centre in the state, but there is
no organized central business area for the entire city. The business activity is
observed mainly around bus stand, along Bangalore Road, Brahmin street and
Kalamma street. There is a regulated market with godown facility located in the
outskirts along the Bangalore Road. Retail commercial activities are concentrated in
the Brucepet area. While the whole sale activity is predominant along south of
Bangalore road, Car street etc.,
There is a shopping area in the CowlBazaar which serves the areas of Cowl bazaar
and Cantonment for the day-to-day requirements.
c. INDUSTRIAL USE
The total area under Industrial use is 279.24 hectare ie, 8.01% of the total
development in industrial activity, the Bellary spinning and Weaving mills, BSAL
factory & industries on anantapur road, KIADB Industrial estate at Mundargi village
limits on Bangalore road are the predominant industrial area in the city. There are few
oil and Cotton Ginning and Pressing Mills of medium size located in the city. Few
agricultural based industries are also located along Siruguppa road.
d. PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC USE
The total area under this use is 347.94 hectares which is 9.98% of the total built up
area. It includes Religious buildings, Government and Semi-Government Offices.
Most of the Government offices are inside fort, while the most of the educational
institutions are located in the Cantonment and Fort Area. Due to increase in the
activities of mining, Commerce and other developments several new office
establishments both in Public and Private Sector are established and they are
scatteredly located in the city, as such causing inconvenience to the public. It is quite
essential to construct a spacious public building in the form of Mini Vidhana Soudha to
accommodate maximum number of offices. So as to facilitate and to avoid
inconvenience to the public.
e. PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS, OPEN SPACES AND BURIAL GROUNDS ETC.,
The area covered under this use is 329.18 hectares, which is 9.44% of the total built
up area. It highlights that the area under this use is meagre compared to the total area
of the city. There is several numbers of burial grounds, which are used by different
sections of the society. The city has very limited number of parks and play grounds.
The Schools and Educational Institutions have large open space but have not been
developed properly. There is hardly any place in the city that can serve as a good
venue for public gathering. Most of the area is occupied by hillocks, water sheet and
82

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
burial grounds. Due to scanty rainfall most of the areas which could be developed as
parks have a deserted look.
f. TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
The area covered under this use is 661.38 hectares, which is 18.98% of the total
developed area. The area, which comes under this use is the areas covered by
Roads, streets, bus stand, Railway tracks and Railway stations, AIR, Telephone
exchange, Aerodrome etc.
g. WATER SHEET
With in the built up area, the area covered under water sheet use is 390.06
hectares. The water sheet comprises of area under canals, tanks, streams etc.
h. MONUMENT
The area covered under this use is 75.20 hectares, which is 2.16 % of the total
developed area. The area, which comes under this use, is the areas covered by Forts,
Notified monuments etc.

CHAPTER-8
PROBLEMS
PROBLEMS
This chapter throws light on the prevailing problems in the city. After careful study of
the existing scenario problems related to Bellary City is mentioned below.
a. RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The development of the city in general, is not balanced. The old part of the city lying
right at the center of the built up area which forms nucleus of the city i.e.,Brucepet and
Cowl bazaar area is very much congested with poorly structured and narrow houses.
City has grown much towards north-eastern and eastern part as well north-western
part along the arterial roads ie.,towards Anantapura road , Hospet road , Moka road &
Bangalore road. Many private layouts are being developed in and around the city with
poor infrastructure facilities.
There are 59 no. of slums in the Bellary city. Slum clearance Board and
Mahanagarapalike, Bellary are making their best efforts to improve the conditions of
these slums.
Proposals
Bellary Urban Development Authority and Mahanagarapalike, Bellary has to take
stringent steps to develop infrastructure facilities in these residential areas.
b. COMMERCIAL AREAS
Commercial activity of the city is concentrated in the old area i.e., Brucepet along
Bangalore road and Cowl Bazar main road and also along hospet road on NH-63.
Because of high value of plots the shops are built in very congested forms. Parking
facility is not provided in commercial areas and People Park their vehicles in front of
the shops i.e., on the narrow roads making the flow of traffic very difficult. Because of
lack of proper control, informal shopping on footpath has come up and this obstructs
the movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
Proposals
Bellary Urban Development Authority and Mahanagarapalike, Bellary has to take
stringent steps to provide parking facilities in the old area, while allowing new
developments.
84

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
c. TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
The roads in the old town (CBD area) are very narrow and congested making
movement of vehicles and people very difficult.
The surface conditions of the road are very bad since nearly 50%of the roads are
kacha road and are not even metalled. Mahanagarapalike has taken up asphalting of
some of these roads, which has to be continued to improve the conditions of the road
in the city.
Bellary do have a lorry terminal next to the KSRTC Bus stand built by Bellary urban
Development authority to cater to the Vehicular movement and mining activity in the
region. But the present facility is not sufficient to fulfill the demand and the needs of
the city.
Except the old area no new extensions are being provided with under ground
drainage facility Bad intersections and junctions, unplanned areas with substandard
developments (Slums). The existing road pattern does not take the intensity of the
traffic generated by ore transportation and also regional movement of goods and
people.
Proposals
The narrow roads in the developed area are to be widened and the program for
widening of these roads need to be taken up by the Bellary Urban Development
Authority and Mahanagarapalike, Bellary.
Steps to be taken to asphalt the roads in the city by various agencies like PWD,
National Highway Dept., Mahanagarapalike, and Bellary Urban Development
Authority. Private participation in development of the city roads also may be sought
and may be involved in the process of development.
Bellary Urban Development Authority has already initiated a feasibility study for truck
terminus and it has to be implemented in a fixed time frame so as to facilitate the
movement of heavy trucks and vehicles. There is a proposal to build auto nagar in
Nallacheruvu area in an total extent of 19.63 acres.
Most of the extension areas are not covered under UGD Mahanagarapalike, Bellary
and KUWS&DB, Bellary shall have to take immediate action to provide the facilities for
the extension areas and also formulate the schemes based on the proposals in the
Master Plan (Revision-1) Sewage treatment plant are already functioning, one at Cowl
Bazar area the other on Ananthpura road and are built and maintained by KUWS&DB,
Bellary.
85

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
In consultation with experts and with PWD. Mahanagarapalike and Bellary Urban
Development Authority have to take initiation in developing road junctions,
intersections and circles immediately. Private participation may also be sought in the
process. PWD and National highways department have conducted a survey and a
byepass road road for Bellary city is being planned and alignment is also finalized.
This road connects NH.63 at Kuditini to SH.19 at Halakundi and to NH.63 near hagari
bridge.
Slum Clearance Board has to take up slum improvement schemes, under IHSDP
program, in the city.
Development of existing roads and formation of arterial roads and major roads
proposed in the Master Plan (Revision-1) should be taken up on top priority to ease
out the movement of regional traffic, traffic generated due to industrial activity and the
local traffic.
d. OTHERS
Concentration of infrastructure along one corridor.
There are no sufficient labour colonies to meet the requirement of heavy economic
activities with the result that the existing settlements are taxed with slum dwellers and
also ugly labour colonies have cropped up here and there without any relation to the
overall concept of Urban Development and are deprived of basic facilities such as
sanitation, Water, Health and Educational facilities.
Proposals
Dealt in detail in next chapter and in Zonal regulations.
Note:
• Preservation of Historical monuments in the planning area.
• Environmental problems ( Dealt separately in chapter No. I )

CHAPTER IX
PROPOSALS
PROPOSALS
Bellary City, an entrepreneur’s destination and a commercial & trading center, is
being bestowed with good network of roads and railways. Proposals are being worked
out looking at the available natural resources, heritage, trade, agricultural activities
and mining and related industrial activities in the region.
The Master Plan (Revision-1) Includes improvements of basic infrastructures like
water supply, sewerage and sanitation, roads, solid waste management, public
facilities in the city. The proposals made in the Master Plan (Revision-1) will facilitate
urban economic growth and improve quality of life by fostering the development of an
efficient and sustainable urban transport system including civic amenities. In nutshell
the proposals aims to attain improvement in quality of life, Sustainable urban
environment and develop efficient systems & institutions.
Master Plan (Revision-1) involves two planning operations. The first one is being
proposals for re-development of existing developed areas of the city and the second
being the planning for future growth depending on the growth of population of the city.
The proposed plan is for projected population of about 7.0 lakhs for the year 2021 AD.
There is a need to accommodate the future population of the city partly in the existing
developed area by increasing the density and partly in the new extensions. New
extensions are proposed keeping in view the growth trend, suitability of land,
connectivity.
New extensions are proposed towards east along National Highway No. 63,along
Bellagallu road, Moka road and at southern & northern part of the LPA along SH19
and along National Highway No. 63 towards Hospet. The existing built-up area of the
city is 3485.80 hect. The gross density works out to be 91 persons per hectare (pph)
and the net density works out to be 220 pph. This indicates that the city is
overcrowded and hence the conurbation area in the Master Plan(Revision - 1) density
works out to be 65 pph and net density works out to be 145 pph.
Sufficient area has been earmarked for industrial activity also. Since the region has
got rich Iron ore reserves and greater potential and studying and analyzing the trend
of industrial growth huge area for industrial use at southern part of conurbation is
being proposed to house all large, medium and small scale industries.
However. While allocating the land for different uses within the Master Plan limits
due consideration is made with reference to the above said aspects. The proposed
land use analysis is given in the table below.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
development in the area. The industrial activity is happening at the southern portion of
the conurbation area, which is very near to mining hillocks.
iv. Public and semi-public uses
The total area under this use is 746.63 hectares which is 6.23%of the conurbation
area. The area reserved under this use has been worked out based on the future
demand for offices, community facilities, hospitals, education institutions etc., The
proposed area so earmarked under this use shall have to be acquired in a phased
manner under the provisions of KTCP Act, 1961 for public purposes by the authority.
v. Parks, Playgrounds, Open Spaces and Burial grounds etc,.
The area covered under this use is 75.33 hectares which is 0.63% of the
conurbation area. Apart from the existing parks and open spaces new areas have
been earmarked for this purpose in extensions for recreation. Buffer zones are also
proposed along nalas, canals and other water bodies in the conurbation area. The
proposed area so earmarked under this use shall have to be acquired in a phased
manner under the provisions of KTCP Act, 1961 for public purposes by the authority.
The parks and open spaces provided in the extensions should be developed so as
to improve the quality of living in the city.
vii. Transportation and Communication

Bisilahalli village. And many new major and minor roads have been proposed within
the conurbation limits. For some existing important roads, road widening of the narrow
roads is also been proposed. Efforts are made to work out the proposals under this
use to find out solution for various traffic and transport related problems in the city.
Traffic junctions and circles are to be designed separately in consultation with the
experts and PWD.
vii. Other uses
Water Sheet
There is some area under water sheet. The area covered under this use is 571.58
hectares. The water sheet comprises of area under canals, tanks, streams etc,
89

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
c. CIRCULATION
Efficient circulation pattern is the main stay of economic and social life of the city.
The proper urban and physical growth of the area depends basically on circulation
pattern. The settlement structure can grow in size and volume and their values can be
changed but the width and alignment of roads goes a long way. Therefore the
proposals shall have a transportation network to satisfy the needs of immediate future
and as well as distant future to a great extent. The circulation network is worked out to
augment the existing network system by providing efficient rapid transportation
system. The proposals contained in the circulation pattern mainly aim at efficient
linkages at regional and local level. The ore carrying roads in mining areas and the
other arterial roads are to be linked up to have effective control over traffic.
Circulation pattern is being proposed to interconnect different areas of the city as
well as new extensions proposing a compact homogenous unit for effective function of
the city. In addition to central business district, commercial centers are proposed in the
different part of the city since the city has got great potential in trade and commerce.
Parks and open spaces are provided for recreation as well as to serve as lung spaces
in city.

action need to be taken by the respective agencies to stop development of
slum areas there by creating hygiene living standards in the town.
Providing alternate site and housing to the slum dwellers in the new

COMMUNICATION
ON
Consequent on invention of machinery, development of automobile industry
and increase in all types of vehicles has created traffic hazard especially in the
thickly populated area of the town.
The nature and magnitude of the traffic problems of Sandur Town are
discussed below:
a. THE ROAD LENGTH AND SURFACE
Earlier, the Panchayat has provided metalled roads in the town and has
paved the lanes with stone slabs to keep them clean.
The Town Municipal Council,is maintaining Pucca, Kachha, and black topped
roads within the municipal limits. The roads maintained by the Municipality are
of very poor in nature. Bellary-Kudligi Stage Highway is passing in central part
of the town. Sandur-Hospet state highway is also passing through the central
part of the town. The total length of state highways passing through the town is
8 km. Sandur -Nandihalli major district road is also passing through the town.
The total length of urban road maintained by Town Municipal Council,is 46.20
km.
b. Existing Road Pattern And Traffic flow
The bulk traffic regenerated moves through the Bellary-Kudligi Road,
Sandur-Hospet road and Sandur-Nandihalli road. The main road, which is
state highway, is considerably busy.
The other important roads are
1) K.T. Road 2) Jamia MasjidRoad 3) Choultry Road 4) Boja Road.
c. Bus Stand
New bus stand was constructed along Bellary- Kudligi road. Most of buses
coming from Bellary, Hospet, Harpanahalli, Kudligi, Hadagali, etc., are passing
through the town. As the town is surrounded by numerous places of tourist’s
interest and visitors keep visiting this place, some roads that are narrow which
are inaccessible to vehicular traffic required widening and improvements.
In the Plan, proposals for widening of roads are marked so as to allow quick
movement of vehicular traffic and to make the interior area approachable by
vehicles during urgent necessity.

CHAPTER-8
PROBLEMS
PROBLEMS
This chapter throws light on the prevailing problems in the Town. After
careful study of the existing scenario problems related to Sandur town is
mentioned below.
a. RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The development of the town in general, is not balanced. The old part of the
town lying right at the center of the built up area which forms nucleus of the
town is very much congested with poorly structured and narrow houses. Town
has grown much towards north-eastern, western and south western part along
the State Highway no.40 & towards Hospet road. Many private layouts are
being developed in and around the city with poor infrastructure facilities.
There are 03 no. of slums in the Sandur town. Slum clearance Board and
Town panchayat, Sandur are making their best efforts to improve the conditions
of these slums.
Proposals
Bellary Urban Development Authority and Town Municipal Council , Sandur
has to take stringent steps to develop infrastructure facilities in these
residential areas.
b. COMMERCIAL AREAS
Commercial activity of the city is concentrated in the old area along SH no:
40 main road and also along hospet road SH-29. Because of high value of plots
the shops are built in very congested forms. Parking facility is not provided in
commercial areas and People Park their vehicles in front of the shops i.e., on
the narrow roads making the flow of traffic very difficult. Because of lack of
proper control, informal shopping on footpath has come up and this obstructs
the movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
PROPOSALS
Bellary Urban Development Authority and Town Municipal Council, Sandur
has to take stringent steps to provide parking facilities in the old area, while
allowing new developments.
114

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
c. TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
The roads in the old town (CBD area) are very narrow and congested making
movement of vehicles and people very difficult.
The surface conditions of the road are very bad since nearly 50%of the roads
are kachha road and are not even metalled. Town Municipal Council, Sandur
has taken up asphalting of some of these roads, which has to be continued to
improve the conditions of the road in the town.
Sandur do not have a lorry terminal to cater to the Vehicular movement and
mining activity in the region. Sandur town in not provided with under ground
drainage facility
Bad intersections and junctions.
Unplanned areas with substandard developments (Slums).
The existing road pattern does not take the intensity of the traffic generated
by ore transportation and also regional movement of goods and people.
Proposals
The narrow roads in the developed area are to be widened and the program
for widening of these roads need to be taken up by the Bellary Urban
Development Authority and Town Municipal Council, Sandur.
Steps are to be taken to asphalt the roads in the city by various agencies
like PWD, National Highway Dept., Town Municipal Council,Sandur, and Bellary
Urban Development Authority. Private participation in development of the city
roads also may be sought and may be involved in the process of development.
Bellary Urban Development Authority has to initiate a feasibility study for
truck terminus and it has to be implemented in a fixed time frame so as to
facilitate the movement of heavy trucks and vehicles.
Town Municipal Council , Sandur and KUWS&DB, Bellary shall have to
take immediate action to provide the facilities for the extension areas and also
formulate the schemes based on the proposals in the Master Plan (Revision-1) in
consultation with experts and with PWD. Town Municipal Council, Sandur,
Bellary Urban Development Authority has to take initiation in developing road
junctions, intersections and circles immediately. Private participation may also be
sought in the process.Slum Clearance Board has to take up slum improvement
schemes, under IHSDP program, in the town.
115

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
Development of existing roads and formation of arterial roads and major
roads proposed in the Master Plan (Revision-1) should be taken up on top
priority to ease out the movement of regional traffic, traffic generated due to
industrial activity and the local traffic.
d. OTHERS
Concentration of infrastructure along one corridor.
There are no sufficient labour colonies to meet the requirement of heavy
economic activities with the result that the existing settlements are taxed with
slum dwellers and also ugly labour colonies have cropped up here and there
without any relation to the overall concept of Urban Development and are
deprived of basic facilities such as sanitation, Water, Health and Educational
facilities.
Proposals
Dealt in detail in next chapter and in Zonal regulations.

PROPOSALS
PROPOSALS
Sandur town, a commercial & trading center, is being bestowed with good
network of roads. Proposals are being worked out looking at the available
natural resources, heritage, trade, agricultural activities and mining and related
industrial activities in the region.
The Master Plan (Revision-1) includes improvements of basic infrastructures
like water supply, sewerage and sanitation, roads, solid waste management,
public facilities in the city. The proposals made in the Master Plan (Revision-1)
will facilitate urban economic growth and improve quality of life by fostering the
development of an efficient and sustainable urban transport system including
civic amenities. In nutshell the proposals aims to attain improvement in quality
of life, sustainable urban environment and develop efficient systems &
institutions.
Master Plan (Revision-1) involves two planning operations. The first one is
being proposals for re-development of existing developed areas of the city and
the second being the planning for future growth depending on the growth of
population of the city. The proposed plan is for projected population of about
60000 persons for the year 2021 AD. There is a need to accommodate the
future population of the city partly in the existing developed area by increasing
the density and partly in the new extensions. New extensions are proposed
keeping in view the growth trend, suitability of land, connectivity.
New extensions are proposed towards northern part of the town and all along
SH-40 and along StateHighway No.29 towards Hospet. The existing built-up
area of the town is 305.85 hect. The gross density works out to be 90 persons
per hectare (pph) and the net density works out to be 240 pph. This indicates
that the Town is overcrowded and hence the conurbation area in the Master
Plan(Revision-1) density works out to be 60 pph and net density works out to
be 105 pph.
Sufficient area has been earmarked for industrial activity also. Since the
region has got rich Iron ore reserves and greater potential and studying and
analyzing the trend of industrial growth area for industrial use at northern part of
conurbation and along Devagiri road is being proposed to house industries.
However, while allocating the land for different uses within the Master Plan
limits due consideration is made with reference to the above said aspects. The
proposed land use analysis is given in the table below.

118

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
iii. INDUSTRIAL USE
The total area industrial use is 94.95 hectares, which are 9.95%of the
conurbation area. Area has been earmarked looking at the available resources
for industrial development in the area. The industrial activity is happening at the
southern portion of the conurbation area, which is very near to mining hillocks.
iv. PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC USES
The total area under this use is 60.63 hectares which is 6.35%of the
conurbation area. The area reserved under this use has been worked out
based on the future demand for offices, community facilities, hospitals,
education institutions etc., The proposed area so earmarked under this use
shall have to be acquired in a phased manner under the provisions of KTCP
Act, 1961 for public purposes by the authority.
v. PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS,OPEN SPACES AND BURIAL GROUNDS ETC.
The area covered under this use is 109.90 hectares which is 11.51% of the
conurbation area. Apart from the existing parks and open spaces new areas
have been earmarked for this purpose in extensions for recreation. Buffer
zones are also proposed along nalas, canals and other water bodies in the
conurbation area. The proposed area so earmarked under this use shall have
to be acquired in a phased manner under the provisions of KTCP Act, 1961 for
public purposes by the authority.
The parks and open spaces provided in the extensions should be developed
so as to improve the quality of living in the city.

widening of the narrow roads is also been proposed. Efforts are made to work
out the proposals under this use to find out solution for various traffic and
transport related problems in the city. Traffic junctions and circles are to be
designed separately in consultation with the experts and PWD.
119

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
vii. OTHER USES
Water Sheet
There is some area under water sheet. The area covered under this use is
390.90 hectares. The water sheet comprises of area under canals, tanks,
streams etc,
c. CIRCULATION
Efficient circulation pattern is the main stay of economic and social life of the
town. The proper urban and physical growth of the area depends basically on
circulation pattern. The settlement structure can grow in size and volume and
their values can be changed but the width and alignment of roads goes a long
way. Therefore the proposals shall have a transportation network to satisfy the
needs of immediate future and as well as distant future to a great extent. The
circulation network is worked out to augment the existing network system by
providing efficient rapid transportation system. The proposals contained in the
circulation pattern mainly aim at efficient linkages at regional and local level.
The ore carrying roads in mining areas and the other arterial roads are to be
linked up to have effective control over traffic.
Circulation pattern is being proposed to interconnect different areas of the
town as well as new extensions proposing a compact homogenous unit for
effective function of the city. In addition to central business district, commercial
centers are proposed in the different part of the town, since the town has got
great potential in trade and commerce. Parks and open spaces are provided for
recreation as well as to serve as lung spaces in town.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Normally Towns are characterized by mixed land uses, exorbitant and
spiraling land values, serious traffic congestions, un-economical and inefficient
transportation system, acute housing, shortages and costly over-heads.
The Industrial towns generally face population pressure and they are
deficit in parks, playgrounds and other organized open spaces, which occupy
less than 5% of the developed area. Industrial cities also face the problem of
inadequate and inefficient mass transport facilities, traffic congestion functional
obsolescence and absence of road geometric, increasing traffic accidents,
insufficient street parking facilities and mixing up of fast moving vehicles & slow
moving vehicles.
Influx of population into these cities and towns, due to rapid
industrialization and rapid urbanization will aggravate the problems of living and
the people are forced to live in unhealthy dwellings and surroundings. Lack of
control over the use of land may give rise to creation of new slums and
haphazard developments close to work centers.
Generally industrial concerns do not pay any attention towards provision
of adequate housing facilities to their workers. This forces the labour to settle
down in any available land nearby haphazardly. As such, majority of these
unauthorized colonies are of substandard and further the inadequate housing
facilities lead to subdivision of existing houses and congestion in the built up
areas thus deteriorating the environmental conditions.
Keeping in view of the above factors proposals are worked out for
Toranagallu and Kuditini areas. The area proposed is at respective villages on

B.T.P.S. plant. By virtue of its location the residential area is prevented from
being polluted from air pollution.
a. STEEL PLANT
The erstwhile Vijayanagara Steel Plant, a Public sector undertaking,
which was earlier taken over by one of the largest steel producers in India, the
Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Limited (JVSL) rechristened as JSW, produces steel at
an estimated quantity of 4 million tones per annum. Toranagallu is fast
developing as a major growth center in the Bellary region. The area is slated for
exponential growth with JVSL’s proposed plans to expand from present 1.6
mtpa to 10 mtpa steel, setting up of KPCL’s power plant near kuditini village

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
and increasing export of iron ore. A large number of ancillary industries are
expected to set up to support the major industries (Refer list in Chapter I).
Inputs for focused development of the region on a self-sustaining basis is
essential, along with provision of better services.
Iron ore movement from Toranagallu railway station is likely to increase to 10
mtpa from 1.6mtpa. The off take of this quantity would essentially be by the
railway route. Therefore, it is expected that the area around Toranagallu railway
station would be the hub of activity in the future. Keeping the railway station as
the center point in Toranagallu, it may therefore be necessary to focus
development activities to meet the needs of the people and industry for 2021

b. KARNATAKA POWER CORPORATION LTD
Karnataka power Corporation ltd, is implementing 1 x 500 MW coal based
thermal power plant at Kuditini village, under stage-I at an estimated cost of
Rs.2100 crores and is nearing completion. Further construction of second unit
of 1x 500MW is likely to commence very shortly. The said two units are being
constructed on a land of 1811 acres near Kuditini village on NH-63.
Looking at the location of presently constructing units, which has got good
accessibility by the road and rail and also has a potentiality of further expansion
to combat shortage of power in the state. KPCL is proposing stage-II, which
identified the land available on the southern side of the NH-63 opposite to the
BTPS plant site. The area available would be 2186.8 acres, which is just
adequate for setting up of 2 x 1000 MW coal based thermal power station in
near future. KPCL has also initiated land acquisition through KIADB for
implementation of its expansion plans.

INFRASTRUCTURE
INFRASTRUCTURE
Provision of safe, adequate water is a basic necessity for the healthy living of a
community. The Gram Panchayat provide water supply and sewerage services in
the region.
The rural Population in the planning area draws water from wells built under
various schemes within their respective village limits. Drinking water supply
service is made available in Toranagallu and most of the villages are provided
with drinking water through wells.
The overall situation particularly during the summer season is far from
satisfactory. While fast depletion of ground water level and level and other
related factors are identified for the present situation. Failure of large number of
water supply schemes is attributed to poor operation and maintenance.
Presently, the area is respondent with ponds, small reservoirs and canals. It is
also dotted with small to very large water tanks, which are used by the villagers
for washing cattle and for irrigation.
No sewerage system exists in the region and the whole system is to be
planned. Normally it is assumed that the sewage generation is approximately
80% of water supply.

CHAPTER-4
STRATEGY STRATEGY FOR FOR DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT
The development at Toranagallu and its environs, which includes Kuditini
village, envisages the total population of about 2.2 Lakhs. As already mentioned
earlier, this population will be accommodated on the north side of the Steel plant
and at Kuditini village. The pattern and concept of development in the area is
based on linear concept as to achieve a coherent development between the
existing Bellary city and the steel plant Area. The other details such as providing
the infrastructure facilities are dealt in the detailed proposals for Toranagallu and
Kuditini areas.
The factors that are governed in arriving planning proposals are :
1. The area is bounded by hill range in between Toranagallu and Kuditini, which
is a major physical barrier
2. Planning Township at Kuditini and Toranagallu village.
3. The existing physical barriers like hillock, canals, Railway track and Existing
B.T.P.S. Plant on the west of Kuditini village restricts the growth on that
direction and directing the planners and administrators to adopt phased devel
opment so as to have a big control over the area.
4. The terrain in general is flat and well suited for development that is grid iron
pattern.
The location of Steel plant at Toranagallu railway station occupies an area
of about 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres). Land is one of the basic items in
locating the steel plant. The other factors such as Labour, raw material, power,
and water and transportation facilities have been examined and found that the
site is ideal and best suited for locating such a big project.
Only the problem is the disposal of waste. This factor is also considered
so as not to misuse, the existing historical Daroji tank for letting out or for
treatment purpose of the effluent. However better techniques could be evolved
in disposing the waste as there is a natural slope from south to North by making
use of the existing Narihalla and such other dry nala beds.
The township, at kuditini, location and the steel plant area are divided by
existing hill ranges and are with a physical distances of about 6 to 8 Kms. The
details of the same are being dealt while preparing the Plan proposals for
Toranagallu and Kuditini areas.

f. Proposed Landuse –2021
Toranagallu village, is being bestowed with good network of roads. Proposals
are being worked out looking at the available natural resources, trade,
agricultural activities and mining and related industrial activities in the region.
New extensions are proposed towards northern part of the village and all
along NH-63. The existing built-up area of the town is 196.46 hect. The gross
density works out to be 55 persons per hectare (pph) and the net density works
out to be 150 pph. This indicates that the village is overcrowded. The
conurbation area in the Master Plan(Revision-1)is proposed for the population
of 1.00 lakhs. Hence the proposed density works out to be 120pph and net
density works out to be 350pph.
Sufficient area has been earmarked for natural expansion of the village
towards nofthern part and along the NH.63 due to natural and physical
constraints. A truck terminal is proposed along NH.63 which is the most
important requirement since there is movement of heavy vehicles in this area.
However, while allocating the land for different uses within the Master Plan
limits due consideration is made with reference to the above said aspects. The
proposed land use analysis is given in the table below.

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
a. ENFORCEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
As required under Sec. 14 of KTCP Act 1961, the process of Implementation of
Master Plan (Revision-1) involves legal, financial and administrative aspects
where the Development Authority is incharge of the functions to prepare the plan.
Mahanagarapalike, Bellary, Town Municipal Council,Sandur and the
Development Authority are the agencies for enforcement and implementation of
the plan. The success of enforcement and implementation of the plan depend
upon the co-operation and Coordination between various planning, enforcing and
implementing agencies.
b. ENFORCEMENT OF ZONAL REGULATIONS
Zonal regulations are intended for controlling the use of the land and are also
intended to prevent congestion by prescribing setback around buildings,
restricting the heights, coverage, FAR etc., The regulations are also required for
sub-division of land and for parking spaces to be provided to prevent traffic
hazards. The zonal regulations are put under four categories namely;
� Regulations to control the use of land.
� Regulations governing set-backs, FAR etc.,
� Regulations for sub-dividing the land.
� Prescribing the width of roads and parking spaces.
Master Plan(Revision-1) is implemented both by positive actions viz Direct
execution of the proposed schemes and by indirect actions viz. Preventive and
restrictive measures. The process by which the implementation of the plan is
secured through various restrictive measures is generally called development
controls, i.e., control of developments in accordance with the proposals in the
plan.
154

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
VI. VI. PHASING PHASING AND AND FINANCE
FINANCE
Phasing is only for providing infrastructure facilities and the execution part
of Master Plan (Revision-1) has to be carefully and systematically programmed
to achieve continuity and integration in development. The plan period is
conveniently divided into two phases.
Master Plan (revision-1) for Bellary- Sandur Local Planning area is
prepared for the year 2021 AD. The first phase period is proposed up to 2011 AD
and the second phase period is proposed up to 2021 AD. Infrastructure and other
facilities have to be developed and upgraded for the existing developed area by
2011 AD. Excluding the present developed area remaining area has to be by
2021 AD in the next phase.
a. FINANC
i. Land Acquisition
For the effective implementation of the proposals made in the Master Plan
(Revision – 1) of the Bellary the acquisition of the land earmarked for public and
Semi-Public utilities, parks and playgrounds and areas earmarked for proposed
roads will have to be acquired to provide for the basic amenities proposed in
the plan for the growing population. The total area required for various uses
that need to be acquired for the effective implementation of the plan details are
worked out in the tables below for various conurbation areas.
ii. Financial Implication
Implementation of any plan involves finance. The implementation of Master
Plan (Revision – 1) includes development of various use areas envisaged in the
plan. The development of the City town includes the cost of the land acquisition
and development of infrastructure in various use areas. As implementation part
of Master Plan (Revision -1) has to be done by various agencies (Private
participation and public sector involvement) at different stages.
To implement any plan, it is necessary to work out the cost involved for the
proposals made in the Master Plan (Revision –1). Accordingly an estimate has
to be drawn up out of which more than 50% of the amount will have to be
generated by Government & Semi-Government organizations and the
remaining has to be generated by the private sector.
The estimated costs involved in various uses for each conurbation area is
calculated and given in the table below:

Master Plan (Revision-I)-2021 (Provisional) Bellary-Sandur Llocal Planning Area
The total cost required to implement the Master Plan (Revision –1) is the
total of all conurbation areas
I.e., 212158 + 11420 + 16215 + 12263 = 252056 Lakhs
= 2520.56 Crores
It is not possible for any one public agency to meet this demand. External
funding agencies, Private sector participation, Industrial sector and Development
agencies will have to be co-opted to meet the demand required for the
implementation of the Master Plan (Revision -) proposals.
