Regularise illegal constructions: Leaders

PUNE: Leaders of various political parties in Pimpri-Chinchwad have reiterated their demand that the state government complete the process of regularising unauthorised constructions within the municipal limits.

The leaders have also said that directions be issued to the civic administration to stop the ongoing drive against unauthorised constructions.Mayor Mohini Lande sent a letter to chief minister Prithviraj Chavan after an all-party meeting held on Monday.

She said in the letter that the civic body has sent many proposals for regularisation of unauthorised constructions to the state government, but no decision has come through. She said the state must take a call in the matter.

Earlier, Lande presided over a meeting of all party corporators at her office. Independent MLAs Vilas Lande and Lakshman Jagtap also attended the meeting. A memorandum, which was prepared after the meeting, was sent along with the letter to the chief minister.

The memorandum said the civic administration has not undertaken any new development works in the city. There has been gross neglect in providing basic amenities like health, roads, electricity, water, and public sanitation in the city. The memorandum said the civic administration needs to pay attention towards providing these amenities.Meanwhile, the party leaders and corporators have also decided to meet deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar to find a solution to the problem.
