   The DUAC has been headless since February following the resignation of noted architect Mr Charles Correa and three other members following differences with babus of the urban development ministry.Mr Correa's four-year tenure was to end in March though he resigned a month earlier.Naturally, Mr Ramachandran plans to tread carefully, in order to avoid a repeat of the negative publicity in the wake of Mr Correa's resignation.Mr Correa had accused the ministry of trying to control the commission and reduce it to a blind approval stamp.
