PCMC prepared priority list for acquisition of land plots
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) prepared priority list for acquisition of land plots which have been reserved in the development plan.
The list contains 645 land reservations in the 15 newly merged villages in the civic limits that have to be acquired in the next eight and a half years. Avinash Patil, chief of town planning department in the civic body said, “The list has been divided into three phases. Phase I has to be completed in three years beginning October 1, 2009, phase II has to be completed in the next three years and the third phase has to be completed in four years post phase II.”
Total 243 reservations are to be developed in phase I, 115 reservations under phase II and 262 reservations under phase III. Another 25 reservations are of the land given to other organisations. A reservation implementation cell will be formed under the city engineer for monitoring progress of land acquisition of reserved plots and their development.
“The reserved land will be acquired through land acquisition process or allotment of transfer of developmental rights (TDR) or floor space index (FSI),” said Patil. Meanwhile, a proposal will be tabled before the city improvement committee (CIC) to seek approval for the priority list.
The proposal seeks approval for the creation of a separate budget head of `reservation development and maintenance` to cover expenses for land acquisition and development of the reservations.
The proposal states that land reserved for roads has to be acquired and developed on priority for effective implementation of the development plan of the additional municipal limits and for all round development of the city. The priority list has been divided considering the reservations for Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission scheme projects, bus stops along bus rapid transit system routes, parking lots and others as per the requests made by various civic departments for land acquisition.
