Ektanagari relocation to cost ₹1,500 crore, buildings within floodline will be razed: MoS
PUNE : The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had planned a 'cluster development' project to rehabilitate people from Ektanagari and nearby areas. This cluster will be developed under the Urban Redevelopment Scheme, according to UDCPR section 14.8. The proposal involves relocation of as many as 1,383 homes and at least 67 shops from the flood-prone 'blue zones' of Ektanagari, Vitthalnagar and Nimbajnagar to municipal land in Hingne Khurd survey no. 19. TOI speaks to MoS Madhuri Misal about solutions to this long-standing issue. Q: What are the short-term solutions proposed to avert flooding in the Ektanagari area? A: In the short term, focus is on preventing water from entering homes and shops. This plan includes the removal of debris and trash as well as prevention of any future dumping. Q: How are authorities going to stop debris dumping? A: The administration is going to install CCTV cameras to monitor debris dumping here. The cameras will be used to catch the offenders, who will face criminal cases. Q: What are the long-term plans, for a more permanent solution? A: That's where the cluster development proposal comes in. The permanent solution involves total relocation of affected citizens. Properties that fall within floodlines will be razed and residents will be moved to other plots. Two plots are available in the vicinity of the affected areas. Q: Why has the planned cluster development project progressed at such a slow pace? A: The financial requirement of the project has been a major concern. We need Rs1,500 crore to complete it and these funds are not available as of today. State govt has received the proposal from PMC, which is being discussed at the UD level. Q: In Ektanagari, there have been issues linked to flood compensation. Could you clarify? A: Yes, that is correct. The flood-affected people living in residential flats received compensation. But those with commercial properties or shops are yet to receive it. The lack of provisions in law for this type of compensation has delayed compensation to shop owners.
