Government Announces Mandatory Land Registry Rules 2025More than 300 Notices of Encroachment on Panshet-Varasgaon Dam Lands Have Been Issued
Authorities have sent over 300 notices to individuals and companies for allegedly encroaching on government-owned land near the Panshet and Varasgaon dam areas. In order to recover restricted dam-area land and stop unapproved commercial and residential construction, the Water Resources Department has stepped up its efforts.
Scope of Action
- Over 300 notices have been served for illegal occupation near the dam catchment zones.
- Action has already been taken against 40+ illegal structures, including hotels, resorts, and farmhouses located along the Pune–Panshet route.
- These encroachments fall within sensitive land zones that are meant to remain free from construction for safety and environmental reasons.
Affected Areas
- The notices cover regions around the 38 villages that remain in the dam catchment area, originally rehabilitated during dam construction decades ago.
- Many of these villages have developed over time with access to basic government amenities, including water, temples, schools, and electricity.
Residents’ Concerns
Residents claim they have been living on this land for decades, but still lack legal ownership documents. They argue the government should regularise residential areas rather than impose sudden eviction threats.
There is growing concern among villagers about the potential loss of homes and livelihoods if demolitions are carried out.
Government Stand
- Officials stated that the focus is on unauthorised commercial properties — particularly resorts, hotels, and farmhouses built on dam-owned land.
- Notices have also been sent to some residential properties based on government orders.
- The drive aims to protect crucial water sources supplying Pune and to prevent further unregulated development near reservoirs.
