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.
