PMRDA- Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority  has started a strong action against illegal land plotting in Charholi Khurd, near Pune. This step is mainly to protect common people, especially middle-class families, from buying plots that are not legal.

What is Illegal Plotting?

Illegal plotting means dividing agricultural land into small plots without taking proper government permissions. These plots are sold for housing, but they do not have official approvals, maps, or basic infrastructure. As a result, people who buy such land face problems later—like not getting permission to build, or losing t heir money if the land is taken back by the government.

What Has PMRDA Done?

PMRDA, under the leadership of its Commissioner, has worked with the police to stop such illegal activities. They have taken action against some developers in Charholi Khurd by removing internal roads, boundary walls, and fences built without permission.

Concern for Buyers
This action has worried many people who already bought such plots, thinking everything was legal. Local leaders have asked PMRDA to give these buyers a chance to explain their situation. They also requested that the government think about ways to regularize these plots so that honest buyers don't suffer.

What Should Buyers Do Before Buying Land?
If you are planning to buy land, especially in areas around Pune, keep these tips in mind:

1. Check for NA (Non-Agricultural) Permission: Only buy plots that have this permission.
2. Approved Layout Map: Ask for the layout plan approved by PMRDA or the local authority.
3. Talk to the Authorities: Visit the PMRDA office or municipal office to check if the land is legal.
4. Take Legal Help: Always consult a lawyer before making a big investment like buying land.

Buying a home or plot is a big dream for many families. That’s why it’s important to be careful and well-informed. A little effort before buying can save a lot of trouble later.
