"content": "Another issue that the Bill should address – and this is a nightmare everywhere in this country – is that anybody in this country who owns land that touches on a roadside just wakes up and builds a shop, poshomill or bar. How will we manage this so that we have controlled growth of urban areas? How do we deal with these highway mushrooming structures? I hope that it will be expanded to give the governors sufficient authority even to close down some of those isolated structures. This is because it is very expensive to supply power and provide security to structures of businesses that are about five kilometres apart. If they are together, then you will know that a hospital will serve everybody, power will be supplied to everybody cheaply, water will be connected to everybody cheaply and security will be provided for everybody cheaply. But if people are very far apart and everybody is running a business, it becomes very difficult to plan our future. This devolution will make a lot of meaning to the ordinary people. Of course, it will start causing pain to some people and get resistance at the start, but when they see order coming and their cities and towns are clean, they will appreciate this."
