City Development Plan for Allahabad Final Report
ADA is actively involved in the development of residential colonies and also provides the
infrastructure in these colonies as well as environmental services like construction of
parks etc. The functions of the ADA include –
Preparation of Master Plan and Zonal Development Plans for the city;
Maintenance and improvement façade of certain buildings and abutting arterial
roads;
Acquisition, disposal and development of land;
Construction of Housing (units/ colonies) to meet the housing demand of the
growing population;
Provision of infrastructure facilities (roads, sewers, water supply) as per the
population needs; and
Provision of bus stands outside the dense city pockets for proper transport
infrastructure.
The ADA does not have a separate cell for handling complaints. All complaints have to
be addressed to either the Joint Secretary or Secretary. Most of the complaints that ADA
receives pertain to roads, water supply, street light maintenance etc. The ADA maintains
an Asset Register and follows a system of double entry accounting.
Jal Sansthan is responsible for O&M of water supply and sewerage systems installed and
transferred to it by JN and other state level organisations like DUDA, ADA etc. Although
the JS is legally a part of the MCA since 2002, in practice, the two organisations (MCA
and JS) still operate independently and are technically separate entities. JS maintains
independent accounts and has a separate revenue collection unit.
