Residents of shaky wadas bear with risks, miss out on tenancy certificates
1 2 Pune: Chandrakant Kandhare (50), an auto-rickshaw driver, has been living at Mote Wada, a crumbling building near Shaniwarwada, for as long as he could remember. He is the fourth generation of the family living at the 200-year-old wada. The same is the case with his neighbours — Kabules and Ghags — who have been staying as tenants at the wada for more than 120 years. They have not heard about the tenancy certificates offered by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to occupants of dilapidated wadas. The initiative by PMC assures rights of tenants of dilapidated wadas. Doubts over its utility, legal value and fear of losing property rights after leaving the dilapidated wadas have kept away many from applying for the certificate. "The govt has put restrictions on redeveloping properties near Shaniwarwada. It has stalled development of wadas. We are left with no option but to stay in this dilapidated property," said Kandhare. All that these residents want is improvement of the building's safety so that their future generations could continue to stay there. Swapnil Ghag, a youngster who spent his childhood in the wada, said the authorities should come to the aid of residents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dad-Approved Ways to Celebrate Father's Day in Costa Mesa - Travel Costa Mesa Travel Costa Mesa Read More Undo "A part of the wada caved in a few years ago. The authorities should remove the damaged portions to ensure the safety of residents," he said. According to the residents, their forefathers paid rent of around 20 paise, which went up to around Rs 50 per month. Though parts of the property have suffered damage, many tenants continue to stay put, putting their lives at risk. Though some have moved out, they continue to pay rent either to the owner or in court in case of a legal dispute to ensure that they retain their property rights on the wada. According to PMC data, only around 650 tenancy certificates have been issued since the initiative started about 10 years ago to resolve the legal battle between owners and occupants of wadas. Over 15,000 tenants still live in wadas, mostly in Peth areas of the city. Faced with poor response to the initiative from wada dwellers, the civic administration has been exploring other options like giving additional floor space index (FSI) for redevelopment of wadas. These can be utilised to accommodate tenants as owners if a wada is redeveloped immediately. "But if a wada is not redeveloped immediately, the tenancy certificate is the guarantee of tenancy rights," an official said. Former PMC corporator Vishal Dhanwande, a resident of a Peth area, said, "The administration lacks willingness to deal with the issue. Many officials show reluctance to demolishing these properties. This can lead to major mishaps. The residents of nearby areas can suffer because of the accident-prone structures." He said the administration should make more efforts to convince the tenants to accept the certificates. Camps or special drives should be organised to create awareness about the same, Dhanwande said. Abhay Joshi, a wada resident, said, "PMC should make efforts to resolve the problem of dilapidated structures. Many of us live in dangerous conditions. The properties are dilapidated and can cause accidents any time, especially during the monsoon." PMC has divided these dangerous structures into three categories — C1, C2, and C3. The most dangerous ones are in the C1 category, while those which need major repairs are in C2 category. The C3 category structures need minor repairs. Rajesh Bhutkar, a senior official of PMC's building permission department, said, "Safety and security of people is of utmost importance to us. The administration has been urging people to vacate the dangerous premises following which demolition drives can be carried out. PMC keeps track of people getting tenancy certificates." The civic body had given notices to residents of 103 rickety wadas ahead of the monsoon. "Most of us belong to the financially weaker sections of the society and cannot afford to pay the market rent," said an occupant of a wada. So, they continue to gamble with fate and stay in these crumbling buildings despite the obvious risks.

Jajpur labourer turns the earth green, one sapling at a time
1 2 Bhubaneswar: In a small Jajpur village, the love for nature of a daily wage labourer has transformed the surroundings bit by bit over four decades. Gunthiram Jena, now 65, has single-handedly planted more than 1 lakh saplings over the past 45 years, earning him the moniker of 'Tree Man' among villagers. Living in a thatched house with his family in Uasahi, Jena's remarkable journey began at 20 when a radio programme about afforestation captured his imagination. "The programme opened my eyes to the importance of trees," recalls Jena, his weathered face breaking into a warm smile. "Since then, planting saplings became my life's purpose." Despite earning just Rs 400 per day, Jena dedicates a portion of his meagre earnings to purchase ropes and gunny bags for protecting young saplings. His daily routine involves carrying water from a nearby water body to nurture his mango, jackfruit, coconut, guava, bael and banyan trees. "I treat the trees like my own children," saids Jena, gently adjusting a tree guard around a young sapling. "Some people questioned my sanity initially, but now they understand the value of what I'm doing." His dedication hasn't come without personal sacrifice. With three daughters at home, Jena's wife occasionally expresses concern about his spending on tree protection. However, his unwavering commitment to environmental conservation remains strong, even as age slows his ability to perform regular labour work. "I may not be wealthy, and my house may be humble," Jena said, adding, "But I'm planting these trees for future generations. That's my legacy." His 20-year-old daughter Nikita beams with pride when speaking about her father's mission. "He is a true protector of Mother Earth," she said. "While others talk about environmental protection, my father actually does something about it." Local organisations have recognised Jena's contributions, presenting him with awards for his environmental stewardship. Yet, he remains humble focusing on his daily ritual of planting and nurturing saplings. As the sun sets, Jena can be seen tending to his latest saplings, his silhouette merging with the trees he planted over the decades. His story serves as a powerful reminder that one person's dedication can make a significant difference in the world, regardless of their circumstances. "I never get bored of this work," Jena said, his eyes twinkling. "Each sapling I plant brings me joy and hope for tomorrow."
