PUNE: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation
(PCMC) has uploaded details of land reservations on its website for the
benefit of people willing to buy property here. Information about no
development zones and land falling in floodline areas will also be
uploaded.

Pratibha Bhadane,
deputy director, town planning department, said, “People from different
parts of the country migrate to Pimpri Chinchwad in search of jobs.
They may wish to buy property here but do not know about reservations in
the development plan, floodline areas, no-development zones and land
reserved for roads. Houses built on such land plots are considered
unauthorised and will be demolished by the civic body,” Bhadane said.

The deputy director said the town planning department has uploaded
information about land reservations to enable people check online
whether the land they intend to buy falls in the reservation/ floodline/
no development zones. They will also be able to know whether the land
is in residential, industrial or green zone. This will help them make a
studied decision.

There are a total of 468 reservations in the
revised development plan of 1995 with total area of 440.29 hectare. But
the civic body has been able to acquire only 199.09 hectare taking the
percentage of development plan implementation to 45.21%.

Eighteen villages were merged in the civic limits in September 1997 and
the state government in 2008-09 approved partial development plan of
these villages. A decision about 118 reservations in the excluded part
(EP) of the development plan is expected soon. There are a total of 645
reservations in the newly-merged villages with total area of 710.54
hecatre. The civic body has acquired 94.50 hectare land (13.29%) out of
it till now.
