The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) and the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) have started a survey of slum pockets and probable rehabilitation locations. The inspections will be carried out in a phased manner in all areas merged into the PMC limits, officials said.
A team of officials from the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) and the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) recently surveyed the slum areas and 23 villages that have been merged into the city civic limits last month which are in dire need of rehabilitation. Ashok Pawar, the local MLA, said that slum rehabilitation will be a part of Wagholi’s overall development. It is very important in the socio-economic development of any city. The officials also that the inspections will be carried out in a phased manner in all areas merged into the PMC limits.
“We are in touch with the SRA officials and the civic administration.” Pawar said in an interview to Economic Times. Meanwhile, Manjari is another village merged into the city limits and their residents are also looking forward to rehabilitation program.
In a general interview, the local resident, Sunil Ghule said, “The PMC and the SRA should conduct a detailed survey and come up with a proper rehabilitation plan to prevent illegal encroachment by slumdwellers.”
To execute all of the rehabilitation projects, the surveys will help prepare a list of slum pockets and probable sites, officials said.
The officials should initiate a process to identify slums from merged areas as “declared slums”, said Hadapsar resident, Sanjay Tupe.
The head of SRA Pune, Rajendra Nimbalkar in an interview with Economic Times, said, “We held discussions with all stakeholders, including local gram panchayat representatives, slumdwellers and others.”
He further said that the surveys will also be conducted in other merged areas as well. “We also want local representatives to come up with proposals.”
