PMRDA Registers FIRs Against Unauthorized Constructions
The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) lodged six FIRs last month against illegal constructions within its jurisdiction, with applications for three more cases pending registration. Despite issuing stop-work notices, the construction activities continued, prompting legal action. Most of these unauthorized structures were residential. PMRDA's demolition drives were temporarily halted following a Supreme Court directive limiting action to illegal structures on roads and water bodies. A senior PMRDA official added that normal operations will now resume after the election duty and model code of conduct concluded.
PMRDA's jurisdiction spans nine talukas, where many rural residents often fail to seek mandatory permissions due to lack of awareness, registering their constructions with gram panchayats instead. PMRDA addresses complaints by allowing structure holders to present their case, granting regularization if possible. However, non-compliant structures in restricted zones are demolished as per the rules. The authority emphasized that gram panchayats cannot grant construction permissions within PMRDA limits, making PMRDA approval mandatory.
