Illegal constructions in Pune demolished by PMC
Pune Municipal Corporation has recently demolished illegal constructions in the city spread across 2095 sqft area in Kondhwa Khurd.
This initiative was taken after a three storey illegal building collapsed in the last week of September last year killing 11 people. The building was built in low water zone area where only 0.33 floor space index (FSI) is permitted but the building was built beyond limit.
The civic body has announced to keep a check on these type of illegal constructions and encroachments from now onwards. The building department of PMC had already warned the citizens and buyers not to buy such flats in Pune which do not have proper layout and building approvals.
Furthermore, PMC has again requested the state government to set special police stations to take such civic crimes. Such stations will lodge cases which go against Bombay Provincial Municipal Act (BPMC) and Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning (MRTP) Act, 1966.
With the increasing cases and burden on police, they are not able to concentrate on crimes like encroachments and violation of the BPMC and MRTP Acts.
