Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority
Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority or GMDA is a state parastatal agency of Government of Assam created for the Guwahati metropolitan area. The authority is responsible for planning and development of the metropolitan region and is currently preparing the revised master plan for Guwahati and the building bye-laws. The authority is also responsible for the activities related to building permissions in the city. But latest plans for Guwahati development have been protested by the greater public because it includes several merciless and mindless demolitions plus constructions.
