PMC Seeks 15 Land Parcels for Key Projects

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has formally requested 15 government land parcels from the state to fast-track several infrastructure projects currently delayed due to land unavailability. These include plans for 24x7 water supply, road widening in Mundhwa, and the development of a playground in Shivajinagar.

"Many projects are stuck because of non-availability of land," said a senior PMC official.

Pending projects include the construction of water tanks in Bavdhan and Mhalunge, road development in Kothrud and Ambegaon, road widening in Bhamburde and two locations in Mundhwa, a sports ground in Shivajinagar, riverbank beautification in Sangamwadi, and land for a railway overbridge in Ghorpadi.

The government land is under the jurisdiction of the district collector, and the PMC is required to submit a development proposal to the district administration. The feedback process from various departments, such as the forest department, follows, after which the land's market value is assessed. The civic administration is expected to pay for the land at the government rate.

PMC officials estimate that acquiring the 15 land parcels will cost around Rs 25 million. Procurement approval has been granted by both the standing committee and the general body meeting.
