Hey there, Pune peeps! Looks like the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is cooking up some interesting plans regarding ownership of properties allotted to essential services in the Development Plan (DP). Here’s the lowdown on what’s going on:

1. Handing over ownership: The PMC is considering a policy decision to hand over ownership of properties to essential services like police stations, post offices, MSEDCL offices, etc, instead of leasing them out. This means that these properties will be owned by the respective departments.

2. Land reservation: Places are reserved in the PMC’s Development Plan for essential services, and the civic body usually acquires land from owners and leases it out to these services. The properties are solely used for government offices and are not shifted often.

3. Settlements and compensation: Government offices do not pay rent regularly, and the PMC sometimes has to pay compensation for acquiring land used by essential services for its projects. The PMC and government agencies usually settle bills payable to each other instead of paying in cash.

4. Proposed solution: To solve this issue, the PMC is thinking of handing over ownership of properties to the respective agencies instead of leasing them out. They plan to give land of equal value to agencies if they have also acquired land owned by the agencies. Discussions among departments are ongoing before finalizing this policy.

Deputy Municipal Commissioner, Estates Department, PMC, Mahesh Patil, mentioned that primary discussions are happening to hand over ownership of reserved properties to central and state government departments. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story!
