The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) is facing a tough road ahead as the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) receives construction permissions for 117 villages, causing uncertainty and potential setbacks for PMRDA’s development plans.
The state government’s decision to transfer construction rights to MSRDC for the Ring Road project has raised concerns over overlapping jurisdiction and delays in approving PMRDA’s draft development plan. With MSRDC now holding authority over key villages in Pune Metropolitan Region, including Haveli, Bhor, Purandar, and Mulshi tehsils, PMRDA’s long-awaited development plan is facing complications.
Experts worry that the shift of powers to MSRDC may hinder PMRDA’s ability to control planning and infrastructure development in the region. While this move could ease some infrastructure workload for PMRDA, it may result in revenue losses due to the organization no longer overseeing development in these villages.
The upcoming court hearing on December 4 will be crucial in determining the fate of PMRDA’s draft plan and the implications of the state government’s decision. Social activists and civic leaders have expressed concerns that the government’s actions undermine PMRDA’s authority and disrupt the coordinated planning of the Pune metropolitan region.
As legal battles and political challenges loom, the state government will need to address the conflicts arising from overlapping jurisdictions to ensure efficient and balanced urban development in Pune. The future of PMRDA’s development plans hangs in the balance as stakeholders await a resolution to the uncertainty surrounding the Ring Road project and MSRDC’s new planning authority.
