PMC to probe officials' role in possible tweaks
Pune: The civic administration on Thursday decided to look into the civic officials' role in the PMC's alleged revised agreement with Konkan Mitra Mandal Medical Trust, after activist Vijay Kumbhar claimed that private institutions' or personal benefits could have been prioritised over citizens' interests in it. Prithviraj B P, the additional Pune municipal commissioner, said, "We will probe if and how changes in terms and conditions were made, if any." Vasundhara Barve, the head of PMC's estate management, said the administration had convened a meeting regarding the issue on Friday. "The details of the terms and conditions can be cross-verified only once we get details from the trust. The future course of action will be decided accordingly," she said.

Prithviraj, the additional municipal commissioner, said, "We are yet to get the details, which were sought from the trust." According to Kumbhar, the agreement's terms and conditions could have been initially made to benefit the larger public while leasing the land. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo He alleged that these could have been diluted later. He said, "The civic document highlights that the reservation of 50 beds for the PMC was discussed while finalising the proposal to lease the land. But later, instead of keeping 50 beds aside, the civic body accepted the condition of providing 50 bed days. Had 50 beds been reserved, more public interest could have been served." Kumbhar said, "It appears that clauses 8 and 9 of the lease agreement were violated. The main reason is the inactivity of the officials concerned and prioritising private institutions' or personal benefits over citizens' interests. The administration should take administrative and legal action against the officials, who neglected such matters." According to the PMC's letter to the trust on Wednesday, the land measuring 1,976sqm at Pune Peth Erandwane, final plot number 30, was given to Konkan Mitra Mandal Medical Trust on lease for 99 years on the condition of paying a premium of Rs 53,35,200 and an annual rent of Rs 1. The lease agreement was registered (No. 1260/1998) on February 27, 1998. The legal department of the PMC said the process of leasing the municipal land was governed by the MRTP Act and other norms of allotment of civic properties. "The allotment of the said land is an old matter. Factors like whether the then general body of the PMC gave a green signal for the lease or not, and if all the agreed terms and conditions were followed or not would be cross-verified by the civic administration," said Nisha Chavan, the head of the PMC's legal department.

Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to invest Rs 90 crore in laying 100km of water distribution pipelines in developing areas on the city's outskirts, enhancing water infrastructure. The civic body has already finalised the agency through the tender process, and awarded the work order recently. "The work for laying water pipelines in the developing residential areas, including Makhmalabad, Mhasrul, Adgaon, New Indira Nagar and Pathardi, is expected to begin after the monsoon season," an NMC official. Civic officials said the work would be carried out under the Centre's Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (Amrut) scheme. NMC would get 50% of the total funds from govt under the Amrut scheme, while the rest would be borne by the civic body. The officials said they were supplying water to the residents across six divisions of the municipal corporation. "The water is sourced from Gangapur, Mukane and Darna dams. The Gangapur dam meets 80% of the water requirement of the city, while the remaining 20% is sourced from Mukane and Darna dams," another official said. In 2013, the population of Nashik city was around 16 lakh and the daily water supply was 380 million litres per day (MLD). "Today, the population has increased to 23 lakh and the daily water supply has gone up to 560 MLD. Hence, NMC is developing the water infrastructure across the city as per the development of the new residential areas in the city," the official added.
