Pune Farmers Offered ₹1 Crore per Acre for Purandar Airport Land
Members of the Jain community in Pune have announced that they will launch an indefinite protest if a controversial land deal involving a community trust property in Model Colony is not cancelled.
The land, measuring around 3.5 acres, belongs to the Seth Hirachand Nemchand Smarak Trust, which manages a Jain hostel and temple used by both the Digambar and Śvētāmbara sects. The property is located in a prime area of Pune near Model Colony.
The trust reportedly signed a contract with the private developer Gokhale Landmarks LLP for the property's sale or renovation. Some members of the Jain community have opposed the deal, arguing that the sale process was opaque and that the land is intended for communal use.
According to religious leaders like Acharya Guptinandi Maharaj, the community will start an unending agitation if the sale is not cancelled. Action against the trustees involved in the transaction has also been demanded by protesters.
In response to the growing opposition, the Charity Commissioner’s Office in Maharashtra has ordered a status quo on the property, preventing any transfer or construction work until further review.
Representatives of the trust have maintained that the sale process was legal and approved by the Commissioner’s office. However, following community pressure, Gokhale Landmarks LLP has reportedly communicated its intent to withdraw from the deal.
Further hearings and official decisions regarding the cancellation of the agreement are awaited.
