59 reserved plots encroached upon in Pimpri-Chinchwad
PUNE: An RTI query filed by Shiv Sena corporator Seema Savale has revealed that 59 plots reserved in the development plan (DP) by the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, have been encroached upon by more than 10,000 illegal structures.
The PCMC in its reply has said that the 59 plots were acquired after
giving monetary compensation or transfer of development rights. The
number of unauthorised constructions is 10,676, it said.
Savale
said strict action should be taken against the officials responsible
for the encroachments. She has sent a letter to municipal commissioner
Shrikar Pardeshi in this regard. She said the corporation was yet to
demarcate the boundaries of the plots reserved in the DP for the
newly-merged villages. As a result, encroachments on such plots cannot
be ruled out. Pardeshi said the civic administration was preparing a plan to remove the unauthorised constructions.
