Some of the villages which are in the draft plan are Vidholi, Kishanpur and Doodhi. Inspection will be done for few other rural areas such as Kali Ghat, Bekrana and Rikholi

Some category of local residents feel that MDDA failed to work on master plan so far.

The aim behind the formation of villages is only to maximize price of property in the suburb of the city.”
