300 Illegal Structures Razed Near Pune Dams to Safeguard City’s Water Supply
Pune water security is at the centre of today’s update as the Water Resources Department has carried out a large demolition drive around the Khadakwasla dam, Panshet dam, Pavana dam and Kasarsai dam. This report explains how illegal structures near these Pune reservoirs were removed to protect drinking water supply and irrigation water quality for the city. Officials confirmed that more than 300 unauthorised resorts, hotels and commercial buildings had been built on government land in the catchment zones of these major Pune dams.
The demolition drive was conducted with heavy machinery from Pune Municipal Corporation and tight police deployment to prevent any obstruction. Local authorities said these encroachments had raised concerns about possible water contamination in the Khadakwasla reservoir and the Panshet and Pavana water systems. The district administration also stated that pressure tactics and legal challenges were used by encroachers, but the operation continued without interruption. This update is important for viewers who follow Pune infrastructure issues and water management decisions that affect long term city planning.
