Pune: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has begun a survey of constructions in blue floodline areas across civic limits. Municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh has set a deadline of one week for completion of the survey, following which the civic body will initiate a drive to demolish illegal structures. “We may start the drive in a week against illegal commercial structures in the first phase,” Singh told TOI.
The municipal corporation cannot initiate action against residential structures during the monsoon as per the high court directives due to which illegal commercial structures identified in the blue floodline will be razed in the first phase, he said. The residential structures will also face action in the next phase once the monsoon is over. Municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh on Wednesday held a meeting with officials of the Pimpri Chinchwad Police department and officials of PCMC’s building permission department and anti-encroachment department to plan a demolition drive.
“We had started taking steps to plan a drive against the structures in blue floodline areas after the chief minister’s visit to the city,” Singh said. The CM had visited Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad to review the flood situation in the city earlier this month. PCMC will also use drone images captured during recent survey to identify structures in blue floodline areas.
