The Pune District Housing Co-operative Federation opposition to PMC

Q: Pune District Housing Co-operative Federation has strongly opposed the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) proposed reservations on open spaces owned by societies. As per i know the spaces belong to societies and so they have the right to decide about there open spaces not PMC. What will be your take on this proposal?

I heard that the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has received over 25,000 suggestions and objections on the draft Development Plan (DP) for old city areas till two days before the 60-day deadline given to citizens for having their say in the city’s future development. A month’s time was given to people to submit their suggestions and objections. But citizens groups demanded an extension saying that 30 days was just not enough to understand such a plan and submit their views so following pressure from people made the state government gave an extension of 60 days.

I think let societies should decide about their spaces. Instead of imposing reservations the PMC should help societies develop and protect open spaces.!

Yes, the federation has submitted its suggestions and objections on the proposal. Besides the Federation, individual members of the societies in the city have also submitted their objections. Societies and individual flat owners have asked the PMC to protect the open spaces from encroachments by political workers.

We would strongly oppose the PMC’s DP proposal. These spaces belong to societies so only they can decide what should be done. We should communicate our views to the PMC. But if the PMC goes ahead with the proposal we should approach the court.
