The report prepared by the planning committee on the development plan for old city limit of Pune city is once again in controversy. PMC has taken stand that report will be made public after it is presented to the civic general body (GB). PMC will check with the legal department. After getting approval, they will upload the report on the PMC website.
These reports are bound to land in controversy because there is lot of difference between report submitted by 4 members and 3 members in marathi. Every page of these reports except report submitted by 3 members has signatures on each and every page.About metro policy 4 members have suggested that there should three FSI, it should not be compulsory and not only within 500 hundred metres of both sides Metro but should be applicable to whole of the city.And amount collected through premium on additional FSI should be called Urban Development fund and 60% of this fund should be used for Metro 15% for PMPML , HCMTR and Mono Rail and 25% for developing basic infrastructure .while 3 members have suggested 4 FSI all over city.
The 4 members have suggested that road widening in sector 1 should be done as per 1987 DP of Pune city while three members have suggested that in Gavthan and and congsted areas roads should be developed as per 1987 DP.
3 members have also mention that one member Mr. Chetan tupe was not present in some meetings of committee while in report submitted by 4 members there is no such remark.
Corporators from various parties
had written to the municipal commissioner and municipal secretary, demanding
that the report should not be kept sealed. Meanwhile some corporators received
the report on Wednesday morning.
This is something funny .PMC had earlier
also taken stand that revised DP was of confidential nature .However it
was being circulated allegedly amongst
builders and others with vested interest but the citizens of Pune were not
being given access to it by the PMC. I had procured a copy and put it up on
this blog
Despite the Right to Information
(RTI) Act and the Public Disclosures Act in place which mandates any municipal
corporation to put that information in the public domain which affects the
public at large, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has kept the revised
draft of the Development Plan (DP) for the old city limits of Pune, under
wraps. I had mortified this secrecy by procuring the copy and uploading it on
this blog for all to see.
This time also while PMC is
reluctant to make planning committees report, It was in so many corporators and
reporters hand. But still PMC is not putting it on its website Here are copies of report submitted by committee on DP.
