In a significant move to combat fraudulent land deals, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has unveiled plans to upload wardwise details of development plan (DP) roads on its official website. This initiative is geared towards fostering transparency and equipping potential buyers with crucial information.
Vikas Dhakane, the Additional Municipal Commissioner of Pune, emphasized, “The details will be posted on the official website of the civic administration. Buyers can use this data as one of their reference points.” This strategic step is poised to serve as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to make well-informed decisions in real estate transactions.
PMC officials underscored the challenges faced by the civic administration in executing road-widening projects, particularly when properties have been developed on the land earmarked for DP roads. The existence of such structures complicates matters, leading to legal hurdles when it comes to demolishing these properties, as elucidated by a PMC official.
Encountering obstacles in completing roads outlined in the DP since 1997, the PMC has grappled with issues arising from fraudulent land deals and encroachments. This proactive measure to make DP road details accessible online is anticipated to alleviate such challenges, ensuring transparency in land transactions and facilitating the city’s infrastructure development.
