Pune: PCMC Cracks Down On Encroachments In Wakad’s Dutta Mandir Road Area
Wakad, 8th January 2025: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) today took decisive action against unauthorized constructions and encroachments in the D Ward Office area. The operation targeted Wakad’s Dutta Mandir Road, where illegal tin sheds and structures were obstructing the planned 45-meter road widening project.
Despite property owners being served notices as early as August 2023, no action was taken by them to comply. Public announcements were made starting January 3rd, and a clear warning was issued on January 6th that demolition action would follow. Finally, on January 8th, PCMC proceeded with the demolition drive.
The operation successfully removed approximately 70 tin sheds and demolished around 62,000 square meters of encroaching structures. The action was carried out under the guidance of PCMC Commissioner Shekhar Singh, Additional Commissioner Pradeep Jambhale Patil, and Deputy Commissioner Manoj Lonkar, who also oversees the Fire Brigade.
