The recommendations emerging from the Workshop are both short-term and long-term measures for improving the area. While the short-term measures do not involve any substantial changes or financial implications, the long-term measures have been proposed keeping in view the active role played by the DMRC in the area. The recommendations on the study were sent to the concerned agencies after eliciting their in principle acceptance.
