All's not well between PCMC, CME

All is not well between the defence authorities and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) regarding the transfer of defense land for various civic projects

. This became evident last Wednesday when the College of Military Engineering (CME) blocked vehicular traffic on one stretch of service road of the Pune-Mumbai highway in Phugewadi by dumping construction material on the road on Wednesday night.

The PCMC has recently completed the road-widening work of the 11-km stretch from Nigdi to Phugewadi. The road stretch has eight lanes and is 61 metre wide. For widening another one km road stretch from Phugewadi to Dapodi, where the PCMC limits end, the municipal corporation has sought land from the CME.

Activists flay Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation's plan to cut 544 trees for developing a BRTS route from Kalewadi phata to Dehu-Alandi road

The proposed 11.2-km BRT route will begin from Kalewadi phata road on Aundh-Ravet road and will terminate at Dehu-Alandi road.

The PCMC plans to widen this road to 45 metres by cutting 544 trees.

A 200-year-old banyan tree near Dhangarbaba temple in Kalewadi, which provides shade to visitors to the temple, also faces axe.

Meanwhile, the PCMC has completed its week-long drive to remove encroachments along this road. The civic body has removed around 80 constructions that were blocking widening of the road from Kalewadi phata to Kalewadi-Chinchwadgaon bridge.

BRTS routes, Nashik phata to Wakad and Kalewadi phata to Dehu Alandi road, cannot be changed: PCMC

PCMC invites written suggestions and objections from citizens to the environmental and social management framework (ESMF)

Residents of Pimpri-Chinchwad who are likely to be affected by the two proposed Bus Rapid Transit System lanes, have demanded that the route alignments be changed so that their houses are not demolished.

In reply, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has said that while a change in route alignment is not possible, it may consider rehabilitation of authorised constructions.

The municipal corporation has proposed BRTS on two routes, Nashik phata to Wakad, a distance of 7.8 km, and Kalewadi phata to Dehu Alandi road, a distance of 13.2 km.

These two projects are to be taken up as part of the sustainable urban transport project (SUTP) of the Global Environmental Facility.

Property rates: Pimple Gurav Vs. Wakad:

This news reminds me of an argument with Jitendra and Priya.

Jitendra works at Kharadi and Priya at Hinjewadi. As any smart IT professional couple, they started their property search with Wakad and Jagtap Dairy. But booked a flat in Kalpataru Estate at Pimple Gurav.

Jitendra claims that Pimple Gurav is convenient location for both of them. This proposed Nashik phata to Wakad rout and the reasonable property rates make Pimple Gurav rational and better location than Wakad, Jitendra said.

Rational thinking!

"Which brand of shirts you wear?," I asked Jitendra.
He said, "Peter England."
"Which car you own?," my second question to him.
"Wagon R," Jintedra said.
"Do you go to office by car? Every day??," my third question to Jitendra.
"Not every day. Mostly by bike!," he said.
"Mr. Jitendra, you are "rational human being." Surprisingly, you managed to think rationally even while buying a property. Most of the property buyers, thank god, become "complete emotional beings" while booking a flat. Particularly, when they "think" about property rates and location. This "emotional thinking" is the foundation of real estate business. Wakad would forever remain more expensive and better option than Pimple Gurav!," i told him firmly.

All of you, i am sure, will agree with me. Isn't it worth paying Rs. 200 - 300 per sq.ft. more than Pimple Gurav for the flat in Wakad and Pimple Saudagar? (Comments Policy)
