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.
